SPC preview, prediction
Some St. Peter's Notes
Monmouth won't be facing former St.Peter's scoring machine Keydren "KeeKee" Clark, whose paltry total of 3,058 career points merely rank him No. 6 all-time in Division I.
I beleive Dave Calloway personally attended his graduation to make certain his career was complete.
Seriously, St. Peter's is now the recipient of more balanced scoring led by sophomore guard Kevin Spann (16.0 ppg.),junior guard Raul Orta (14.1 ppg), and 6-8 junior Todd Sowell (14.0 ppg., 10.3 rpg.).
Sowell had 21 points and 11 rebounds and Spann 20 points Tuesday in a 72-65 loss to Monmouth Northeast Confernece rival Fairleigh Dickinson (2-1).
St. Peter's has also lost to Kennesaw (what team is this?) State (1-3) while defeating first year Division I NJIT (2-2) as well as UMBC (2-2).
Monmouth is 6-17 all time vs. St. Peter's losing last year in Jersey City, 73-60.
Today along with reviewing the NEC vs. opposition (see prior
blog) I was able to finally catch up on my own MU stats (men and women) which I keep in a book every year, game-by-game, for handy reference.
I also subscribed to college rpi.com for the year, where MU is currently ranked 177 with a schedule strength of 89. The NEC is No. 16 in conference RPI (14-25 record) which isn't bad at all. If that ever holds up it'll be its best conference RPI ever I believe.
At the moment this (MU men) is a disjointed team playing erratically. The jury is still out on how much of this is due to the quality of opposition and will iron itself out over the course of the NEC season, or will prove to be inherent flaws particular to this ball club.
With all that being said, turnovers and all, MU has been in every game except Texas CC.
So I have to think they beat SPC. But, to be honest, I'm not sure.
Prediction: MU, 68-62.
Trivia question: What conference is Kennesaw State in? No fair going to the internet.
Oh.. lets end the suspense. They're in the Atlantic Sun Conference. Anyone who knew that should be hosting an ESPN show.
