FYI - GC is a D2 Catholic school in NJ. Like the previously discussed Mercyhurst of Erie, PA, founded by the Sisters of Mercy order.
I mean, we played Shaw.
I had at least heard of Shaw.
How in the hell is this school D2? I was expecting to read that they were one of those divisions that no one has heard of. Like NCCAA.
Davidson is playing Mercyhurst. Sounds like a hospital?
Mercyhurst is a pretty good school. I was enrolled there for 2 years. Can’t really honestly say I “attended” regularly haha. I am thankful that transferred classes are rated as pass/fail rather than carrying over the grades.

Interesting that you mentioned hospital. The Sisters of Mercy founded what is now Atrium Health Mercy in Charlotte. First Catholic hospital in North Carolina when it opened in 1906. The mother of a friend of mine from high school was the director of education at the hospital’s school of nursing.
Also as an Irish Catholic school, Mercyhurst offered multiple free scholarships to Irish students each year. Made some really fun Irish friends during those years. I wish there was a way to keep up with them - social media didn’t exist back then.

Mixed results though a complete meltdown by Arkansas State allowed AC to pick up an additional OOC win and make up somewhat for the Wichita State debacle.
Just over an hour ago I was wondering if ECU would go ahead and fire Michael Schwartz before conference play begins instead of waiting until the end of the season. Pirates trailed 47-28 at halftime to visiting Buffalo in which UB hoopster Daniel Freitag by himself outscored ECU with 29 first half points. Fast forward to now and #123 UB goes home with second loss of the year after #321 Pirates rally for the 73-70 win in Greenville. In a down year for the American, gotta take every D1 OOC victory ya can get - even the 3 by EZU!
