It’s hard to win when you don’t work as a unit and rack up 15 fewer assists than your opponent, a fact CCSU found out the hard way on Wednesday. There’s no need to mince words: the Blue Devils lost to the Minutemen, and the Blue Devils lost bad. The score wound up at 89-60. CCSU has not had much luck with Massachusetts recently, as the team’s come up short the last two times they’ve met.
CCSU’s loss shouldn’t obscure the performances of Abdul Momoh, who scored 11 points, and Jayden Brown who scored 15 points.
Meanwhile, Army’s recent rough patch got a bit rougher on Saturday after their sixth straight loss. They fell 75-68 to the Bearcats.

This contest is one where the number of possessions is likely to be a big factor: CCSU have been smashing the glass this season, having averaged 33.8 rebounds per game. However, it’s not like Army struggles in that department as they’ve been even better at 35 per game. Given these competing strengths, it’ll be interesting to see how their clash plays out.
