Games Feb. 10-16

UNC-G storms back to down a depleted WCU squad 61-52...... that coupled with a Wofford loss puts My Spartans back in a tie for first in the SoCon.

Does "barn burner" and a game with neither team scoring 50 points belong in the same sentence?

well the barns in NC might be a little more susceptible to fire than other places

"My Islanders" sent out a strong message to those folks from Abilene: Don't just think you can saunter into Corpus Christi and have your way with things! TAMCC takes down the Christians of Abilene, 68-59.

Top 4 in the Southland:
SFA 12-2
SHSU 12-3
TAMCC 11-3
ACU 10-4

I know why they scheduled the HPU game for 4 (they have a men's game at 7) but 4pm is right when my Saturday Afternoon Nap usually begins....

I hope they put the Southland Tournament on a ESPN3, ESPN network, ESPN+ or something..... looks like its gonna be an exciting one.

On ESPN+ except for the final, which will be on CBS Sports Network.

The Southland plays a weird format: Only the top 8 teams make the tournament (the bottom 5 teams play no postseason). Single bye for teams #3 and #4, and a double-bye for the top 2 teams straight to the semifinals.

SNY carrying NYC's Columbia games. Must win game to try to get into 4 team conference tournament. Blowing out better record Harvard. 47-21 at half at home.

Upset alert: Rice trails Charlotte by 16 in the 4th quarter. This would be the Owls' 2nd consecutive loss.

South Dakota survived a scare at Oral Roberts, won 77-73. The Coyotes have won 13 straight since their loss to South Carolina in December.

Central Michigan continues to live dangerously with a closer-than-expected win over Bowling Green. CMU remains undefeated in the MAC and continues their status as the UCF of this year, with an inflated RPI and numerous close wins.

Speaking of UCF, the Knights won a rock fight over Cincinnati, 49-42, and moved up to #44 in the RPI.

Looks like I took a good time to take an afternoon nap. My Panthers get throttled at home to Gardner Webb.... fall to 6th place in the Big South... they were 2nd on Tuesday Afternoon. To make matters worse.... My Aggies lost at home in double OT to NC Central 86-80. To those unaware... the Aggie-Eagle Rivalry could very well be the biggest in HBCU. Top 3 biggest rivalry in NC in basketball.... #2 in football.

On ESPN+ except for the final, which will be on CBS Sports Network.

Nicholls has a win streak! 2 games! Defeating Southeastern Louisiana, 54-49. The Colonels now 6-16 on the season, 5-10 in the Southland, and now tied with Lamar for 9th place in the conference standings.

What are Nicholls' chances of finishing top 8 in the conference? Only the top 8 play in the conference tourney.

Not good. They're 2 games out of 8th place with 5 games remaining. However, one of those 5 games is against 8th-place Central Arkansas, so they will have a chance to stake their claim.

Georgetown goes to Butler....wins. Butler, if they do stay ranked, may hang on to their AP ranking by the skin of their teeth....

I forgot where I was....but then, being confused isn't a strange thing for me.

#24 Texas A&M at Tennessee (3p, ESPN2)

@Plebe aren't the Lady Vols #25 (at least as of 2/09)?
Just curious if your "slight" was intentional or just missed it.

Ha nice catch and I'm glad you asked. I am using our Boneyard poll for those rankings Tennessee was in the "receiving votes" category of our latest poll.

BY25 poll #8: Results are in (and the lead has been extended)

Total number of ballots: 19. Also receiving votes (on at least two ballots): Arkansas 44, LSU 24, Tennessee 21, TCU 10. The following teams appeared on only one ballot: Central Michigan, Stony Brook. Thank you to all who voted. The next poll will be Monday, Feb. 27.

North Carolina is down 10 to Boston College in 3Q, possibly headed to a 4th loss in a row.

UNC has tumbled in the RPI from the 50s just a couple weeks ago to #97, and a loss today would probably drop them out of the 100.

A key game in the A-10 on ESPNU right now: Undefeated Dayton (11-0) is hosting 2nd-place VCU (9-2).

It's actually a good game with a great crowd on hand. Dayton is up 56-50 at the last media TO.

Undefeated Dayton (11-0)

I caught just a minute of the end of this game. I'd written off Dayton after OOC, didn't realize they were undefeated still in A-10 play.

Utah is making me look bad. I've been fairly impressed w/ them lately, but they got absolutely steamrolled by Stanford on Friday and are trailing Cal 25-13 in Q2. They cannot lose at home to the Bears.

Is Maxwell scoring today? I saw that Stanford shut her out on Friday. Tara and her squad will do that to primary scoring options. I really like the way Maxwell plays and conducts herself. Could be All-PAC-12 as early as next season. Should be on the PAC-12 All-Freshmen team. A quality shooter with some length at the #2 position.

Maxwell has 9 on 3-5 shooting. Something has gotten into Cal today, up 48-36 at the half.

Georgia did very well to choke their nice lead away to send it to OT

I was watching Duke-FSU and wasn't tracking this game. How much did Georgie lead by?
