Early Advantage?: The Savannah State Tigers (who as we know by now will take on the Colonials tomorrow night) actually open up their season tonight down at the Pete against the Pitt Panthers. This is a nice advantage for the Tigers (as it pertains to the RMU game anyway) as they will have a game against a high level opponent under their belt before Saturday's game. Pitt should be an NCAA tournament team, and will likely role the Tigers, but it will give Savannah State an opportunity to work out some kinks, and you have to think life will be a bit easier against the Colonials, after all RMU is not an ACC level opponent.
Highlands star good to go: Local Pittsburgh high school star Micah Mason was cleared by the NCAA to play for Duquesne this season. That's big news for the Dukes and head coach Jim Ferry.
Duquesne guard Micah Mason has been granted a waiver by the NCAA that allows him to play immediately. Transfer from Drake.The Highlands star will be a major part of the Dukes offense and should contribute immediately. The Colonials play at Duquesne 14th and will have their hands full with Mason. RMU has won three straight for the first time in the series and should still be favored to make it four straight despite the addition of Mason.
