Its a good team to play at this point in the season due to they play the old Cheney 2-3 matchup zone due to the fact that thei rinterim coach Marc Macon played for him at Temple. Believe me in no shape or form does it resemble the Temple teams they rarely challenge threes, but it will help the team down the road with teams who play the 2-3 like Syracuse. One thing is for sure is the team will have plenty of 3 point opportunities and if the team moves the ball well Nicholson will be wide open down low. Final note... former bona target Kyree Sutton plays center for BU.

BO2....You are our eyes & ears in Bingo. Tough time for BU with loss of players, interim coach & having to play Pitt (68-1 against OC teams at home) in front of 7,000+ fans. They will certainly be ready for any adversity at the RC. Soph Sutton was their high scorer with 12 (6-12) & 6 boards. I was impressed that they took care of the ball with only 13 TOs & outrebounded Pitt the 2nd half. They have 3 players that can hit the trey. The Johnnies remarkable effectiveness from long range was a major factor in our loss. Lets see better D on the Bearcats treys. Sadly, the differential in trey scoring will grow as our season progresses.

Binghamton plays in all honesty the style of offense you play when you have limited talent think URI before between the Harrick and Baron years when you have one or two scholarship players off the bench. They walk the ball up the floor and start running their offense with about 10-15 seconds on the shot clock. After watching the Pitt game they were basically playing it not to get embarassed. Also, Pitt right now is not the Pitt of last year Bonaventure would beat them right now. Pitt is real young at this point and will get better as the year goes on. I would expect a win anywhere between 25-40 points it all depends how much the guys pour it on. BU really does not have any talent Sutton would be a nice bench player for Bonaventure and they have a decent JUCO transfer but after that its pretty bad.

In the past, the Bonnies have had a tendency to play down to the level of their opponents. This will be a good opportunity to see if they have kicked that annoying habit.
