New Hampshire at COLGATE 1 p.m.: Bill Herrion takes over as coach at UNH and looks to have a tough road ahead in his first season. Already off to an 0-3 start, the Wildcats still have non-league games with Harvard, Penn State, North Carolina State and UConn. All three losses have come on the road, two in close games (64-61 at Columbia in the opener, 64-62 vs. Quinnipiac in the consolation game of the Columbia tournament). The third was a 75-51 blowout at Providence. The Wildcats also lost an exhibition against DII Merrimack, the team picked to finish ninth in the Northeast-10 conference. Australian import Blagoj Janev (13.3 ppg), a 6-8 junior, is UNH's leading scorer. A young team, UNH has one senior, guard Georges Djanabia, who has been seeing very little time (3.3 mpg). Janev is one of three juniors. Colgate's notes show Kendall Chones returning to the lineup. Chones (15 ppg) missed the loss at Cornell due to injury. Chones, who has scored in double figures each of the three games he has played, leads Colgate in scoring His brother Kyle (6 rpg) is the team's leading rebounder. Kyle turned in his first career (16 points, 10 rebounds) in the loss at Cornell.

The Citadel at ARMY 1 p.m.: Army tries to put together a three-game win streak for the first time since the 2001-02 season. The Citadel is 2-2, but it is tough to tell much about the Bulldogs from their record. Two losses came to Delaware and North Carolina State, the wins over Stetson and an NAIA team. Senior guard Dante Terry (6-2) leads Citadel in scoring (11.8 ppg). Soph Demetrius Nelson (6-8) does not start, but also averages in double figures (10.3 ppg). Junior J'mel Everhart leads the team in rebounding (9.3 rpg) while chipping in 8.5 ppg.

AMERICAN at La Salle 2 p.m.:American will have its hands full with LaSalle's 6-9 senior Steven Smith, last season's Atlantic 10 Co-Player of the Year. A legit All-America candidate, Smith scored 15 and grabbed 9 boards in an opening night win over Maryland-Baltimore County. He averaged 20.3 ppg and 8.5 rpg last season. Smith mulled a jump to the NBA and decided to return for his senior season to try to improve his draft position. Smith was told at last year's pre-draft camp in Chicago that he would have been a late first to mid second round pick if he came out early. Suffice to say Brayden Billbe will have his hands full. Senior guard Jermaine Thomas (6-2) had 17 off the bench against UMBC. Sophomore guard Darnell Harris (6-1) added 13 points.

Yale at BUCKNELL 7 p.m.: All the makings of a classic trap game. Coming off the big win over Syracuse. It's BU's home-opener, but the students are on break so the crowd will likely be much smaller and much quieter than when they are in town. One edge for BU, Yale's leading returning scorer, 6-10 senior Dominick Martin, who has one semester of eligibility left, won't play until the first semester ends on Dec. 18. In his stead, 6-10 junior Matt Kyle has been starting at center, but Kyle is averaging just one point and less than 3 rebounds per game. Yale's leading scorer is junior Sam Kaplan (6-7, 225) who is scoring 17.7 ppg. Caey Hughes, a 6-5 swingman, has been in double figures in rebounds all three games.
