On the one hand, sounds like a good field and useful prep for the season.

On the other hand, I have a little trouble wrapping my head around the concept of a basketball tournament to celebrate the anniversary of Pearl Harbor.

St. Joe's plays at Princeton on Wednesday December 14th. (From today's Philadelphia Inquirer).

St. Joe's lost their two best players including a NBA first round draft pick but they always play fierce defense. Last year, the Tigers lost as they had their worst shooting night of the year at St. Joe's.

Should be a competitive game at home.

Based on Lunardi's preseason bracketology, Tigers have scheduled four teams that he projects to be in the NCAA tournament -- VCU, Monmouth, Hawaii and California. Out of conference schedule against good teams is probably not as challenging as last year's schedule --- Miami, Maryland, St. Joe's and Stony Brook although you never know. Unlike last year, it would be ideal if Tigers win at least 2 of the 4 games against stronger competition.

Overall, Ivy League teams out of conference does not look as strong as last year, i.e. Harvard, Columbia, etc. so it will probably not be helpful as to RPI ranking. It may lessen the ability of Tigers to get into NCAA tournament if they lose dreadful Ivy League conference tournament game unless they play extremely well against out of conference teams and a very strong conference record. Ivy League teams need to upgrade their schedule if two Ivy teams are ever going to go the Big Dance in one year.

Lunardi has the Tigers as the 12th seed playing Maryland in the West therefore Tiger fans have nothing to worry about -- laugh laugh.

Tigers play one of three games against Italian pro teams starting this Friday. On website, there is a daily story of what they are up to. Brase is on the trip. Cook looks like he grew some more.

Strikes me that the trip to Italy playing against some pro competition is a way to get the Tigers ready to play ball early in the season as several of their most challenging non-conference games, i.e. VCU etc., come early in the season. I would not be surprised if he goes all out on non-conference games to try to make a case for a NCAA bid if the Tigers get knocked out in the Ivy Tournament. If Henderson has ambitions to go to a bigger program, he may have additional incentive based on the roster that he has. Time will tell.

Yes, this team on paper should be MH's best yet.. If I were a Columbia fan I'd be giddily debating NCAA seedings about now. And I want to get carried away. But experience makes tif hard to go beyond wary optimism.

Cook looks like he has put on a few needed pounds.

Devin Cannady is the best dressed Tiger, and has quite the entertaining personality.

Wary optimism is a good way to look at the season as you never know what will transpire --- injuries, egos, bad shooting, one point losses, etc. A big challenge for Henderson will be how best to utilize Miller, Brase and Brennan; especially if the Tigers get to tournament play.

High expectations. But will Brennan ever mature?

Game against Bologna is on nettnotv.tv/bologna

Bologna has big guys plus DJ Strawberry and Lamont Gordon --- men against boys.

Bologna had a 9-2 lead as Tigers could not hit any shots but Tigers are up 15-13. Brase has not been on the court as he may still be recovering. Tigers playing very aggressive defense against pro players --- Bologna does not look like it is taking the game too seriously although that will probably change. Cook looks very good.

1) It's a website, not a TV.

2) I believe the correct link was http://nettunotv.tv/bologna/

3) It's all over anyway by now.

You're welcome for all this moot info.

Appears that the Tigers won by by 6 pts in OT after being down 21 points in the 2nd half. Fluke 3 pt shot by Rayner tied the game at 77-77 with no time left. LeBlanc lead scoring with 18 pts. Exhibition game but the Tigers looked reasonably good considering all factors.

Looks like the second unit led the way, which is good in a way. MH especially credited their D. Also saw more contested layups go in in that short highlight reel than in entire weekends last season. Loved their excitement after getting to OT and after the game.
