Arkansas-Monticello is D2, and played Crowley's Ridge College in their only game so far, and as one would expect, clobbered them 94-65. The home attendance for UAM was 228. It's fair to say they don't have a strong basketball following there in Monticello! They were picked to finish 4th in the Gulf South Conference West Division.
Crowley's Ridge College is not an NCAA school. It is a tiny Christian College that competes in the Association of Christian College Athletics (ACCA). Athletics there is not emphasized, and I suspect most high school basketball teams in the Peoria area would beat them.
So tonight's game at Wichita State will be the first real test for Arkansas-Monticello.
Their leading scorer in the blowout of CRC was DeAngelo McIntosh. He is a 6'6" wing forward who went to Chicago Julian High School (was a teammate there with Mac Koshwal and Thijin Moses). He was a D1 prospect, but ended up at South Suburban Community College because of academics. He had a nice career at SSCC, too, and had many D1 schools interested in him, but because of academics, never qualified and had to go D2 at UA-M. He had 25 points and 13 rebounds against the undermanned Crowley's Ridge College. Expect him to have a good game against Wichita State, but the Shockers should win this one, though it could be closer than some would expect. If WSU doesn't play well, UA-M could even pull a "shocker".
BTW- this game is part of the O'Reilly Auto Parts CBE Classic. Win or lose, Wichita State is one of the 4 major teams that will advance to the semifinals in Kansas City on Nov. 23 & 24, along with Pitt, Texas, and Iowa.
McIntosh first went to juco in Wyoming (Laramie Co.), and was rated a 3-Star by Rivals but was scheduled to finish juco in Class of 2008.
At one time in late 2006, he was leading the nation in scoring (junior colleges).
At that time he was getting some high D-I recruiting interest and the Rivals page lists Marquette, Illinois, DePaul...
Then he sat out a year and finished up his juco career at South Suburban - a DII juco in South Holland, IL. and I really can't find why he sat that year out...
but during that year his stock fell tremendously and he landed at a DII juco and a DII 4-yr school.
