4-0 long time coming for Colgate
(Originally posted Sat, at 11:33 p.m., links added at 7:14 a.m.)
Colgate coach Emmett Davis was still an undergrad at St. Lawrence, Jimmy Carter was president, Rickey Henderson had just completed his rookie season and Roger Staubach was playing his final season back in 1979. That also was the last time Colgate started a basketball season 4-0 until Saturday night, when they won their fourth in a row, defeating Kennesaw State 81-53 in the final of Kennesaw State's 100 Club Classic.

Kyle Roemer led Colgate with 25 points, earning tournament MVP honors. Tim Pounds had 12 and sophomore Ben Jonson a career-high 15. Pounds and Jonson joined Roemer on the all-tournament team.

The Raiders took their first lead game midway through the first half on an Alex Woodhouse bucket and went on to build a 30-21 edge at the half. The second half was all Colgate. The Raiders, who shot 31 percent from the floor in the first half, caught fire after intermission, hitting at a 57.7 percent clip in the second to finish the game 24 for 54 (44.4 percent). Colgate, which held Kennesaw State to 19 for 51 shooting (37.3 percent) from the field, led by as many as 32 points in the second half.
