University of British Columbia is also playing New Mexico State University this weekend.
That game starts at 7PM tonight, (9PM Central)
But New Mexico State blew out its first opponent, Douglas College on Saturday night, 101-62.
The game comments look like they had absolutely no competition, as player after player had easy bucket and dunk.

NMSU is coached by ex-Bulls star Reggie Theus and Theus has done a lot to kick start the Aggies in his 2nd year as head coach.
First, he has brought in several transfers, some of which were a bit controversial, and ran a few of the returning player out.

Then one of his first hires for an assistant was Damon Archibald, a guy with a lot of recruiting savvy and AAU connections, not all widely agreed on the up-and-up.
Archibald was hired almost immediately after getting Iowa State in trouble and involved in a scandal by arranging for paid scheduling help from the Los Angeles outfit that was just a sham for funnelling cash to AAU coaches and players in order to get committmenmts from their AAU players.
Of course in the college basketball world, it doesn't matter how dirty you are, or how much scandal you get in, even if it causes the firing of the entire coaching staff all the way to the top (as it did at Iowa State), if you have AAU connections, you'll get hired again.

The game was tied early 14-14, then Florida went on a 38-12 stretch to lead at halftime 52-26.
Florida has four freshmen on the squad and they logged big minutes, as the starters didn't see much action in the 2nd half.

Indiana State went to 2-0 with a 94-59 win over Lambton College--

Indiana State is playing a bit shorthanded, as they have several players injured.

Trent Wurtz isn't dressed and won't play due to a concussion and head injury that required 12 stitches and a stay in the hospital.
Jay Tunnell has a knee injury and won't play either.
Mick Yelovich also suffered a concussion during the practices and has seen his playing time limited,
and ISU's freshman 7-footer, Brant Leitnaker is getting some decent opportunity to play.

In a cost-savings approach, the Indiana State team did not fly to Canada but instead took a bus.

In a cost-savings approach, the Indiana State team did not fly to Canada but instead took a bus.

Is there any truth to the rumor that they are staying at Jellystone Park camping ground instead of hotels to save money?

Guelph ends up 2-1 in their international preseason exhibitions, beating Lipscomb and Indiana State, but losing to Florida 84-55.

They won three games, though they didn't look very good, and Louisville almost lost to two different teams on their Canadian tour, one they barely won by a single point on a tip in at the buzzer.

But............

Louisville head coach Rick Pitino can explain why these lowly Canadian teams played 'em so tough...

According to Rick Pitino, those Canadian teams would be as powerful as Seton Hall if the played in America.

In this article, he's claiming the Canadian teams
"COULD PLAY IN THE BIG EAST"

[collegehoopjunkie]

Then if Indiana State went undefeated with almost all their best players sidelined with injury, then
are the Sycamores able to WIN the Big East??
