The freshie freshies showed up last night in abundance, perhaps the sweetest thing in the world for certain–or all–coaches.

• Damion Lee had 25 points and eight rebounds and was the horse down the stretch for Drexel in its win over Northeastern. Quincy Ford played 36 minutes and scored 12 points for NU.
• Kyle Anderson hit 5-7 threes, 8-10 overall, and scored 25 points to lead Delaware past Mason. This was on a night Devon Saddler hit 2-10 field goals and committed seven turnovers.
• VCUs Treveon Graham scored 13 points, hitting a three to ignite a 20-5 first half spurt, and grabbed three rebounds in just 21 minutes in VCUs win over William & Mary.
• Marcus Thornton made 5-6 threes, 10-12 overall, and scored 28 points in the loss.
• An injured Freddie Jackson had five assists and five rebounds in 33 minutes for the Dub in its loss to Georgia State.

Using my best teevee voice: “In other CAA action, Hofstra downed Towson 74-49 behind 28 points from Mike Moore. Nat Lester chipped in with 19 points, crossing the 1,000-point plateau for his career. Erique Gumbs scored 12 points to lead Towson.”

A few interesting items from Delaware’s upset win over Mason. Freshman Jarvis Threatt, who has been playing very well as of late, sprained his ankle and didn’t play in the second half. No word on his status this morning.

In the two games prior to last night, Anderson had not scored and missed all five three point attempts.

Let me now state the obvious: If Old Dominion puts down James Madison tonight in The Ted, we have a four-way tie atop the standings. ODU will join VCU, Drexel, and Mason at 10-2.

What’s more those four will be three games clear of fifth place. Thus, barring a temples-bursting collapse in the final six games of the season, those four begin a Willie Shoemaker dance to the end of the regular season.

Coaches are coaches and they are not happy, even in victory:

Shaka Smart: “We certainly didn’t defend the way we wanted to tonight, but in the end we were able to make winning plays.”
