The final seconds of basketball at Matthews Arena tick away… Vermont picks up an 85-74 win over Northeastern
November 15, 2025 at 8:04 PM
HALFTIME: Northeastern 33, Vermont 30

PERFECT way for the hosts to close out the first half. A scoop n’ score for William Kermoury, picking TJ Long’s pocket.

Long is just 2-7 from the field in the first half. Northeastern goes into break with the lead.

Hello from New Rochelle!

For the first time in nearly 20 years, it’s Iona and Fordham. I couldn’t miss it…. so I’m back at Hynes tonight for the Gaels and Rams, in Game #8 of my season.

Mike Magpayo and Dan Geriot — two longtime friends coaching against each other.

Here are my high-major conference power rankings heading into the season

Doesn't align perfectly with my Top 100 or the conference previews from a few weeks back because I've made some changes. The final Top 100 will be released in full on Monday.

Over the last 100 days, I've been posting a team a day (on the other app) in The Sam Federman Top 100 for the 2025-26 College Basketball Season.

Well, that has all been a lie (kind of), as I made some changes to the list.

Now that it's Opening Day, here's my Top 100.

Let's have a hoops season

WE ARE SO BACK!! IT’S AN EXACT MEDIA TIMEOUT
@dalydoseofhoops.bsky.social OfHoops as Syracuse has gone to the zone in the second half. Both Phelia and Burrows have drained threes in the second half, Phelia up to 17 points.

Lead is at its largest point of the night.
