Future UConn opponents: Georgetown beat Brown 74-57

Top 25 Action: #4 Iowa St. beat Buffalo 84-63 (AA-candidate Georges Niang with a big game 31/12. Remember when our win against them in some tourney a couple years ago was lucky because he was hurt?), #7 Oklahoma beat #9 Villanova 78-55 (Does Nova instill fear in anyone that they play?), #11 Purdue beat ICUPUI 80-53, #18 Butler beat VMI 93-66, #24 Oregon beat Navy 67-47 (No Dorsey, had a mild knee sprain in that UNLV loss)

Our AAC Chum(s): ECU lost to Charleston 77-73 (I guess as long as we beat them who cares)

P5 Winners: Iowa beat Western Illinois 90-56, USC beat Idaho 74-55 (Boatwright with 17 & 5)

Other News & Notes: The draconian NCAA rules committee with thankfully leave the Monmouth bench alone. These BC players ought to know Qdoba is better anyway.

Isaac Haas on Purdue is only playing 18 minutes a game, but is averaging 14.6 points and 5.9 rebounds (32 points and 13 rebounds per 40 minutes).

That's insane.

'Nova went 4 for 32 from the arc. They are essentially a deeper version of Syracuse that literally lives and dies by the 3.

Purdue will have the return of Rapheal Davis next week. Davis is the best defensive player in the Big 10. RD will be back for the Vanderbilt game @ Purdue.

Purdue is interesting and before the season started it seemed to me they had a glaring weakness at PG. They have looked great so far.

And 2 blocks. I don't quite understand why this 7'2", 300-pound stat machine isn't getting more burn. Except for the Pitt game (where he played 9 minutes), it doesn't seem a result of foul trouble--he averages 1.4 fouls per game.

So they were executed after the game?
