I see Syracuse is ahead of Rider. I don't understand as Rider pulled out of our MTE mini event and we had to add Hofstra as their coach said they didn't want to play any games until conference games after January 1 and now they are playing Syracuse. You would think they would have rather wanted to play in NJ.

Rider is pre season ranked to end up last or near last in the MAAC - so no real test for Syracuse.

That being said, I still would have preferred to have a game between Hofstra and Syracuse just to keep the kids sharp from a game standpoint.

A couple of highly recruited freshmen have stepped up at wing and PF. The Canadian guy who is kind of a hybrid 3/4 is very good. Griffin and Girard are good. Without Baker, this will be a challenge.

Syracuse had 5 O. Reb off 23 missed shots 28-51 54.9%
Rider had 8 O. Reb. Off 41 missed shots 17-58 29.3%
Rider's top returning scorers-- Ings, So., 4.9pts, Ogemuno-Johnson, Jr., 2.6 pts 2.2 Reb. Powell, So., 1.4 pts.

Rider's top scorers-- Dwight Murray Jr, Incarnate Word tr., 20 pts., 6 ast., 6 reb., Ings 9-3-2, Henderson, Cal St. Northridge tr., 8-2-1, Powell, So., 8.pts and Ogemuno-Johnson 5 pts 8 reb.

I have zero concerns about Syracuse blowing out Niagara and mishmash Rider team playing their first game together. I think struggling against Bryant at home says more.
