Stonehill Blown Out
Stonehill in the first game of the season was able to beat Framingham State, but since that point, there have been some struggles. Two games ago against Notre Dame, Stonehill was defeated 89-60 and in the last game against Providence, they were defeated 76-49 victory.
At halftime against Providence, they were down 44-25 and in the second half, it didn’t get any better as the offense scored only 24 points. Stonehill shot only 32.1 percent from the field and 28.6 percent from behind the three-point line. Amir Nesbitt put up 12 points, five assists, and three rebounds. In this game, Stonehill needs to get the offense out to a fast start. Stonehill will face New Orleans, Lindenwood, and Bryant following this one.
Slow Start for Robert Morris
If the first few games are any indication, it could be a long season for Robert Morris. In the first game of the season against West Virginia they were defeated 87-59. In the second game against Delaware, it was much of the same and they lost 81-77. In the last game against Chatham, they bounced back and they were able to secure the 79-51 victory. Alvaro Folgueiras had a huge game putting up 19 points, 13 rebounds, and four assists. In this game, if Robert Morris wants to find success the offense needs to get out to a fast start to really try to put the pressure on.
