Afternoon delights dot Sunday schedule
Two games on today's schedule, highlighted by the first matchup of the season between a Patriot League team and a team in the Top 25. That matchup fits 2-0 Bucknell against 1-0 Villanova, in a 5 p.m. start at the ski lodge. Earlier in the afternoon, 1-2 American hosts winless Stony Brook. Game time at Bender is 2 p.m.

SCOUTING VILLANOVA: The No. 24 ranked Wildcats opened the season with a 86-64 win over Stony Brook. Shane Clark, a 6-7 junior forward, led the 'Nova scoring with 25 points and grabbed 7 rebounds. Fellow junior Dante Cunningham (6-8) added 14 points and freshman guard Malcolm Grant had 16 off the bench.

The Wildcats have no seniors, but their roster is filled with talented underclassmen, like 6-2 sophomore guard Scottie Reynolds, the guy expected to lead Nova this season. Reynolds had 13 points and 6 assists against Stony Brook. If he looks to take the scoring into his own hands, he is capable. A member of the U.S. Pan-American Games team this summer, Reynolds is considered the Wildcats best perimeter shooter. Last season's Big East Rookie of the Year, Reynolds put up 40 on UConn as a freshman.

    SCOUTING STONY BROOK: The Seawolves come in 0-3, their latest loss a 53-52 setback against Maryland-Eastern Shore. This is one team where American's small backcourt should not have a huge matchup problem. Two of Stony Brook's three leading scorers are 5-11 guards redshirt junior Mitchell Beauford (10.7 ppg) and junior Michael Tyree (12.0 ppg). Ricky Lucas, a 6-4 redshirt junior, is Stony Brooks' top scorer at 13 ppg.
