Strange how this sets up to become the first game of a double-header. I don't think we've ever had back-to-back o-o-c games with the same opponent. I say "o-o-c" because it would be conceivable that we've had to to this during the conference schedule at some point in the distant past. Wizards, care to weigh in??

Gotta limit it to the post-war era or else you'll find examples. Played Vandy twice in a 2-3 week period in 67-68, but there were games in between.

This Northeastern series is truly odd.

67-68: played Vandy twice
71-72: South Carolina twice
72-73: Cincinnati twice

All with intervening games. The S Car and Cincy ones were actually a little closer together than the Vandy ones. Nothing in the postwar era matches up with this upcoming regular season double-header.

Presumably the assistant who draws "scout" for Northeastern will have it for both games. Might not be a compliment to scout 1 if they change it for game 2.

With regard to the thread itself, CC is making an early claim to upset predictions of a rotating set of Colt45 game winners.

I say we split these two games. Hope I'm wrong and we win them both.

Do we owe them a game at Matthews Arena next year? It's tiny and was designed for hockey, but it's very old.

could be that Carter will start at least one game this season the way he's playing.

Carter for general impact on the game. DCz added a nice lift in the first half.

Carter for his performance as a whole throughout the game, but DCZ kept us in it in the first half. Id be fine splitting it between them this week.

I'm voting for David Cz. He optimized his minutes in relief of JAG in the first half.

Carter, with honorable mention to Cal Freundlich for inspiring the team with his dance moves from the bench.

Tough call.. like DCz for his shot making.. but Carter's overall hustle and in particular causing the turnover on their inbounds play earns him my vote this time.

Carter.

David CZ for those points when we really needed them!

David was good. Carter was thrilling.
I'm voting for Carter tonight. But if he keeps playing like a sixth starter, I'm not sure he should or will remain eligible.
