BC plays their second game of the young season tonight against Saint Francis(NY). Ya I havent heard of them either. BC is coming off of a 32 point victory against Dartmouth on Friday and SF is coming off a 4 point loss to Brown. Some things to watch out for tonight are the play of Trapani and Roche.
Tyler Roche is coming off a career game in which he scored 30 against Dartmouth. SF has more height than Dartmoth though with a starting front court that measures, 6-7,6-7,6-9. It will be more difficult for Roche to get his shot off since he wont be towering over his opponents so we will have to see how he does.
Trapani is another guy I want to watch for. He was a non factor in the first half of last game because he picked up two quick fouls and had to sit the rest of the half. I am hoping that he will be able to get into a rythem and dominate the game if he can stay out of foul trouble because his size and athleticism will be hard for SF to match in their frontcourt.
BC will also be sitting two starters for the second game of their two game suspension tonight. Rakim Sanders and Cory Raji were suspended before the game last friday for an undisclosed violation of team rules.
Looking at the box score of their last game, SF does have some scoring threats. G Akeem Bennett put up 19-6-6 in their game against brown and will be a tough matchup for Reggie Jackson on the Defensive end. Definitly a matchup that I would be much more comfortable with if Sanders were playing. Also, their center put up 13 and 6 against Brown so that could be a test for Southern.
As always, Go Eagles.
