Games To Watch - 12/10/07
Anyone else remember when Mondays used to be Big Monday on ESPN? Maybe it will be later in the season, but tonight, we get nothing of interest. Eight games on the slate and only five of those have two Division 1 teams in them.
One game that the MRI can not pick as it involves a non-D1 team, features what could be out "Little Sisters of the Poor" game of the year. VMI faces off against the Newport News Apprentice School tonight at home. I don't expect the Keydets to have any trouble with the school that sounds like a night school for metal workers. Turns out it is a school that teaches the shipbuilding trade. While the students do not earn degrees there, they can earn credits toward an associates degree from an affiliated school. Yeah, got to hand it to the tough scheduling done by the VMI athletic department.
And don't worry, I will give an update on that score tomorrow.
One game of note features our basement team, NJIT:
NJIT at Stony Brook: Stony Brook is 1-7, while NJIT has no wins. I am not sure that this will be it, but it is the best chance for a Highlander win until they face Penn in early January. Even that game might be tough for them to get the victory in. I am looking for NJIT to beat the Savannah State record for worst MRI score, which is a tough call because those Savannah State squads were retched. If they win tonight, it will be the biggest numerical upset of the year to date.
MRI Predicts: Stony Brook Confidence Factor: 94.10%
MRI Stats:
Yesterday: 0 - 0
This Season: 399 - 159, 71.51%
All Time: 12086 - 4761, 71.74%
