Hey, Undefeated Stephan F Austin is playing Central Arkansas so we have a Texas league game of interest!

Say it with me people “Lance White!” Can he replicate last years ACC Tourny exploits?
Convenient that ND was able to cancel games against NC State and Syracuse but yet are able to play Pitt. Thankfully they still have a resurgent FSU and Louisville still left so my hope of not making the 2021 NCAAT is still alive to break their streak of consecutive appearances...

last week of the P5 regular season.. I do believe. Except for the Big 12

Nicholls completes the season sweep of winless Northwestern State, 72-65.

 

[DefenseBB]

I will fill in for @Plebe here and report that Stephen F Austin remains undefeated in conference play with their victory over Central Arkansas this afternoon.

 

[LETTERL]

Butler on the verge of their second win of the season, leading Xavier by 10.

 

[LETTERL]

Big upset in progress in the SWAC. Alabama State (10-1) trails Southern (7-9), 40-23, at the 3rd Q media timeout.

 

[DefenseBB]

So, could Auburn actually get their 1st conference win tomorrow against a reeling MSU team? Can you imagine the outrage with that outcome ?

 

[LETTERL]

Butler gets its second win of the season, 73-61, over Xavier.

That would kinda be like Cal just beating ASU.

Get the popcorn ready if it happens...

 

[Plebe]

Programming alert.

Big Big Ten matchup (big-squared): Iowa at Maryland rescheduled for 1pm ET today, on Big Ten Network.

 

[triaddukefan]

Can't believe Plebe overlooked the matchup tonight between 5-16 Western Carolina and 3-12 East Tennessee State

 

[donalddoowop]

I can.

I'm ready!

Little bit of an upset brewing in the Mountain West. Air Force (4-12) leading New Mexico (8-2), 42-34, at the half.

 

[triaddukefan]

In the matchup between the two Appalachian based teams of the Southern Conference... the Mighty Catamounts of Western Carolina defeat the East Tennessee State Buccaneers.... 62-48. Last year WCU finished 8th (last) in the conference.. this year the Cats will finish in 7th. Watch out for 2021-22

At this rate the Mighty Catamounts will be utterly dominant in 2027.

No upset. Wandering Lobos put the pedal to the metal in the second half and soar away from AF 80-66 paced by 33 from the Duff twins.

LaTascya had 31 of the 33.

Lobos move to 7-2 in conference, trailing Colorado State's 10-2 conference record. The NM/CSU series was canceled earlier in the year.

Seems to be a lot of twins in wcbb currently. Fresno St. has the high scoring Cavinders, Stanford has the Hulls, Gonzaga has the Wirths and the Truongs, and those are just a handful I know about off the top of my head.

Haley and Hannah Cavinder attended Gilbert HS in Az, were coached by Kyle brother of former Stanford great Kyla Peterson and were highly recruited.

The article says Kyle Pedersen. The former Stanford WBB great was Kayla Pedersen. From wikipedia it seems Kyle is Kayla's younger brother.

USF outscores Temple 21 - 7 in the 4th quarter to win 56 - 47. They stay unbeaten in the AAC.

 

[nwhoopfan]

There's a reason why SF Austin is 10-0 and Northwestern St. is 0-11 in the Southland: SFA up 39-8 early in Q2!

 

[nwhoopfan]

No drama for Indiana today, whuppin' Wisconsin, looking to nail down #2 in the B10 while still chasing Maryland for #1.

Seton Hall drubbed Xavier 108-65.

Minnesota pulling away from Nebraska down the stretch. Huskers not really maintaining the decent start they got off to in conference play.
