Welcome back to the Trentonian's Full-Court Press blog. Yes, we're still alive, and with the 2015-16 season rapidly approaching, it's time to fire up the old blog for another season. Check back here throughout the year for updates on all things Rider and Princeton, including coverage of both the MAAC and Ivy League.

Morning Run — Game 7: Rider 74, Wisconsin-Milwaukee 60

Anthony Myles scored 14 points to lead three Rider players in double figures and the Broncs finished their stay south of the border with a 74-60 victory over Wisconsin-Milwaukee in the Hoops for Hope Classic.

Rider swept its stay in Puerto Vallarta to finish a four-game road trip 2-2 and improve to 4-3 overall. The Broncs have already surpassed last season's non-conference win total (three).

Nurideen Lindsey and Danny Stewart each finished with 11 points.

The schedule gets considerably tougher, beginning Thursday night when La Salle visits Alumni Gymnasium. The Explorers (3-1) snapped a 10-game losing streak against Villanova Sunday with a 77-74 win in overtime.

Following La Salle's visit, Rider travels to Drexel, plays two MAAC games — at Siena and at home to Fairfield — and finishes non-league play with trips to Princeton, Rutgers and Delaware.

AROUND THE MAAC

November's closing up shop and conference play is right around the corner so here is a look at how the MAAC stacks up:

1. Loyola (5-1)
2. Canisius (3-1)
3. St. Peter's (3-2)
4. Rider (4-3)
5. Fairfield (3-3)
6. Iona (2-2)
7. Niagara (2-3)
8. Marist (2-4)
9. Siena (2-4)
10. Manhattan (1-3)

And a whip around from Sunday:
Clemson 59, Marist 44: Red Foxes still leave Old Spice Classic with something to show for it after win over Vanderbilt.

Seton Hall 76, St. Peter's 61: Peacocks started 3-0 but have lost two straight.

Maine 72, Siena 66: Some Saints fans think Mitch Buonaguro is firmly on the hot seat. Still early, but losses like this don't help his cause.
