CSU with decent showings against Alabama and the College of Charleston, but at some point you have to win some games. They should be able to win out a win against Nova Sco…I mean Barber Scotia. Who?!

L, 89-55 Cornell
L, 69-55 Florida A&M

W, 90-81 Elon
L, 94-69 West Virginia
This week:
- 12/1 vs (#248)Morgan State 1pm

L, 76-62 Indiana State
L, 54-53 Western Michigan
This week:
- 12/2 vs Johnson & Wales 3pm

W, 74-61 the Citadel
W, 73-64 Hampton
This week:

W, 86-83 Florida A&M (OT)
L, 84-78 Cornell
W, 88-75 Central Pennsylvania
This week:
- 12/1 vs (#252)Dartmouth 2pm
2 wins this week is definitely an improvement. The win over Florida A&M is a D1 win. The game against Central Pennsylvania was pushed back because the team arrived late.

L, 67-62 Morgan State
This week:
- 12/2 vs (#173)Georgia State 3pm
