Elise Young moves on ... and four games are on tonight's schedule
For those of you who unlike me, didn't get a chance to watch "Double Shot at Love" last night on MTV, the Ikki twins removed four men and four women from their two dozen suitors. Fortunately for MAAC basketball enthusiasts, former Fairfield guard Elise Young made the cut and will be back for Week 2 next Tuesday at 10 p.m.
Elise made a few cameos in the interview booth (if there's a more technical term, I don't know what it is, so I'm going to call it the interview booth) offering her analysis of how things were going. She was not, however, featured in any of the scenes they showed of girls getting one-on-one time with either Rikki or Ikki. I'm holding out hope we'll see some of that next week.
This show recap can catch you up on everything else.
As for basketball, four MAAC teams are in action tonight, including Rider, which hosts Monmouth at 7. Frankly, none of the MAAC teams playing tonight are facing opponents that are any good at all. The opponents -- NJIT, which hosts Saint Peter's, Long Island, which hosts Iona, and Coppin State, which plays at Iona, are a combined 4-25, with 2-4 LIU accounting for half of the wins.
It'll be interesting to see how Loyola does against Coppin State and hoe Iona does against LIU, only because those two games pit teams with relatively similar talent levels against one another. Saint Peter's right now looks like the ninth best team in the MAAC, but the Peacocks shouldn't have any problems dealing with NJIT, which hasn't won a game in almost two years. The only way that game will be worth talking about tomorrow is if Saint Peter's loses, in which case the story will be on Sportscenter and in every baketball-related web site and publication.
As for the Broncs and Hawks, who are about 90 minutes away from tip here in Lawrenceville, Rider really shouldn't have a problem winning by 20. The Broncs won last year's matchup in West Long Branch by 21, and that was when Tommy Dempsey called the dogs off early in the second half.
The Hawks, with only one player averaging better than 10 points, are 1-9. And who did that one win come against? You guessed it -- the aformentioned Highlanders from NJIT.
