Rider just improved to 1-15 all time against Quinnipiac behind Stella Johnson's 25 points. Fantastic win for them as they improve to 3-0. Next up? The Battle for the MAAC against Marist.

Johnson scored 25 despite going 0-3 from 3 and 3-6 on FTs. (She's usually an 84% FT shooter.)
But she was 11 of 16 on 2-pointers, and she also had 7 rebounds and 3 steals.
And she got strong scoring support from Mobley and Favre, who were a combined 33 points on 15-27 shooting.

They said this was the first ever ESPN-featured game at Rider. It was "little kids" day, so the energy and noise level in the small-ish Rider gym was high.

Quinnipiac's run of 5 consecutive Metro Atlantic championships is coming to a screeching halt.

So it seems, an off year for Quinnipiac, a resurgence from Poughkeepsie, and a new MAAC power in Rider? It's interesting that Stella has continued to find ways to score even though she's something like 3-20 from downtown in her last four games. A slump of sorts from there, but I have confidence that she'll pick it up moving forward.

There was a fun halftime segment about Stella becoming Rider's all-time scoring leader and an interview with Rider's former scoring leader. Even though Warlick isn't a particularly good analyst, in this interview you could really see some of her interpersonal skills that never came through in her press conferences.

It appears the two battles between Rider and Marist (1/16 and 2/11) may decide the MAAC regular season title. But Quinnipiac may come around in time for the MAAC tournament. They were missing their leading scorer Shaq Edwards in the past 3 games.

Fairfield is still perfect in conference play, but it's stunning that Rider and Marist are the only two teams in the MAAC with a winning record overall. Then again, I'm not a fan of the Southern Conference with just one team with a winning record in Texas Southern. Wowza.

There was a really important win for Western Kentucky today, who will really need to start putting some wins together if they hope to win a conference title as they knocked off UAB. It's an odd sight to see the inaptly named Hilltoppers near the bottom of the hill.
 
My Blue Devils, and Panthers tip off at 6pm.... with my Spartans tipping off at 7pm . Obviously they didnt consult with me when setting the game times this season Head bang

The Southern Conference? Texas Southern is in the SWAC.

C-USA feels like a bit of a jumble, with a handful of teams that look like they could win the conference.

FSU having another one of its uninspired days, trailing at home by 4 to Georgia Tech.

Miami-Louisville is underway, but Mompremier is out with injury.
 
My Panthers ventured up the Mountain and got handed a 76-60 loss at the hands of UNC-A. I got a feeling the Big South regular season title won't be decided until the final weekend of the season.

But things are looking good for your Spartans, laying the wood on that juggernaut that is ETSU.
 
Looking like #1, #9 and #11 going down tonight.
 
Wake Forest is 3-1 in the conference for the first time since their Coach was a Freshman at Wake .... .. thats 32 years :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

Not that it matters much but Tennessee is taking Ole Miss to the woodshed. 69-26 thru Q3, ouch.
 
Coming into the game St. Mary's was a 1/2 game up on GU in the WCC standings (4-0 vs. 3-0). That will likely be changing. GU up 39-12 approaching halftime. Outside of the Zags I think the WCC is basically Big West or Big Sky level this year, they collectively took a big step backwards.
 
84-28 Tennessee final. How bad is Ole Miss?
 
Northwestern beats Minnesota on the road 56-54, Gophers fall to 1-3 in conference. Northwestern is 3-1. So is Nebraska. Michigan St. also off to a 1-3 start.
 
Northern Arizona up 112-105 over Sacramento St. in 2 OT. Plenty of scoring in this one!

Losses to New Orleans, Pitt and SE Missouri, although they beat a selection of those sort of teams as well.

0-3 in the SEC.

I'm thinking awful.

I think it's been that way a while. Thursday and Sundays are the heaviest days, with Sunday being especially dense. The ACC, SEC and Big Ten play the vast majority of their games on those two days. The Pac-12, as you know, is mostly Fridays and Sundays with occasional exceptions. The Big 12 leans more toward Wednesdays and Saturdays with some Sundays as well.

That nails it. On a wider scale, most of the lesser conferences play on Saturday as well, and some out west on Wednesdays. Monday and Tuesday are the "dog days" - Monday of course gets a few "Big Monday" games, but they are the slow days.

I think the scheduling is still stuck in the mindset of a time when very few games were available on broadcast or streaming. Now almost every single game is available on some platform or another. It makes no sense to have all the teams in a power conference in action during only two time slots on one day. This is exactly why the men's games are spread around much better.

There is truth to what you say, particularly regarding the men. Because many men's games are televised, they are often spread out to accommodate the various broadcast contracts.

In general, at least based on what Vivian said and things I have read, conferences tend to schedule games on regular days because it not only helps with regard to the (limited) television contracts, but also helps with the scheduling at the schools regarding classes and such. Hence you have the PAC and their travel partners, the Big East also does travel partners. But playing set days helps with setting up the teams practice schedules and players classes. It is also easier for the conference, especially as they are scheduling men and women both who very well might share a facility.

Incidentally, and you probably know this, that's why women's schedules come out after the men.
 
Another Big East matchup tonight (Friday Jan. 10):
Xavier at Georgetown on FS2.

Both teams are really struggling this year. Xavier beat Utah in the season opener and has lost 13 straight since.
 
DePaul leading Seton Hall 46-41 at halftime.
 
8-0 run for DePaul to start Q4, firmly in control now.
 
Seton Hall went on a run of their own but DePaul pulled away again 85-68 final.
