Week 11 games (Feb. 1-7)

[LETTERL]

SD State 13-2
South Dakota 110-3

Both teams 6-0 in conference

THEY should be #1! 110 wins against 3 defeats is pretty darn good.

And to think, I didn't even have them in my latest BY Top 25.

 

[LETTERL]

Yes I thought they would be better especially when compared to other programs with new coaches, main one being Georgia Tech because Nell Fortner entered the ACC the same time as Banghart. Georgia Tech lost two of their best young players to Louisville and Fortner has still found success.

Banghart is not happy with guardplay, she referenced they won't have a point guard until next year.

I have all the confidence in the world that UNC will have their best shooting game of the entire season on Sunday.

Cal Baptist overwhelming New Mexico St., up 90-45 in the closing minutes. 16-30 behind the arc for the Lancers.

edit--9 players have at least 1 3 and 5 have 2 or more; who do you guard?

High Point cools off towards the end of the first quarter.. letting Charleston Southern close the gap. My Panthers still lead after the 1st quarter. 22-6

Preparing to open

A Cal Baptist-High Point matchup would be intriguing in the NCAA Tournament.

 

[triaddukefan]

At the half... HPU leads 49-25. The panthers are 12-30 from the 3pt line.... 3 different players have 3 3pt'ers each.

I'll give it to Charleston Southern... they have a pretty good production with a color guy... a play by play guy... and a sideline reporter who interviews the coaches and shares tidbits from the huddles.

 

[nwhoopfan]

It hasn't been a banner year for Drake, but they are destroying Loyola, Chi. right now, which would vault them to #2 in the MVC.

 

[triaddukefan]

Final from Charleston. High Point downs Charleston Southern 88-65. PG J Edwards 10 assists and ZERO turnovers.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Can Chicago St. actually win a game?! Down 1 heading into Q4 against Utah Valley.

A Cal Baptist-High Point matchup would be intriguing in the NCAA Tournament.

Would be the first game ever between a 15 seed and a 16 seed.

Ha, but I thought that was what you meant by "intriguing"?

Stunning!!!!

Miracle win for NAU Lumberjacks over a one win Sac State team. After trailing almost the entire second half the Jacks inbound the ball to Rashred with 1.3 seconds left and she scores the game-winning layup.

This was an incredible win for the Jacks as NAU steals the win on the back of Rasheed's 20 points 12 rebound double-double.

Time to tune in for Grand Canyon Antelope's basketball. 2:00 p.m. Mountain Standard Time ESPN3 as the 11-3 Lopes take on UT Rio Grande.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Wright St. takes down Milwaukee again and Green Bay beats Northern Kentucky back to back.

Wright St. now leading the conference. There are 7 teams within 3 games of each other at the top, Horizon has to be one of the more intriguing conference races.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Cal Baptist probably won't beat New Mexico St. by 40 today but still has them doubled up, looking to improve to 16-0.

Chicago St. came up short last time by has another shot to maybe finally get a win against Utah Valley again. Up 2 midway thru Q2.

 

[azfan]

Grand Canyon Lopes turn UTRio Grande over 26 times (15 steals) and win 77-55. Freshman Katie Scott with 18 points in limited minutes as the Lopes resist looking ahead to the big series with Cal Baptist.

Good day for your Arizona schools.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Wow, Omaha over Western Illinois 105-102 in 2 OTs--game of the day? Never mind their records...

 

[Vowelguy]

Cal Baptist jumped all over New Mexico St. 32-9 in Q1, looking to remain among the VERY few unbeatens left.


edit--UC Davis is also undefeated but has only played 5 games, and is at Oregon on Saturday so probably will pick up their first loss. Bucknell is the only other.

Cal Baptist is still in the transition period from D2 to D1 and thus are not eligible for the NCAAs
Their final 4 games are against Grand Canyon and Seattle who are the leaders for the automatic bid.

UConn fans consider 110-3 a decent 3 years.

Didn't realize that. Appears their transition period is going well.

 

[LETTERL]

Game of the day might be Florida International vs. Texas-San Antonio. 3 overtimes...currently, 104-101,1:31 left.

Any insight on the logic by the NCAA as to why penalize a school MOVING UP a division vs. preventing a school moving down a division? I don't get it, seems counterintuitive unless the D2 scholarships are completely different academically qualifying than D1.

I wondered that too. Most moving up a level aren't going to be good enough to qualify for the Tourney right away. If they are, why prevent them from doing so?
