So Washington at USC this Sunday doesn't count??? Or is it just an ESPN network thing because the BIG10 no longer participates in these conference challenges? 😉

Seems weird to me that the ACC-SEC Challenge is this week and only 3 games are Top 25 matchups.
Of course 2 other of the Challenge games just missed out. 🤔😲

Washington has been coasting against a weak schedule. I don't think Utah is even a pale shadow of what they were last year, so I don't even count that as a real game. This will be their first actual test of the season.

 

[Centerstream]

At the half, Nova still leading WVU, 48-35. Villanova went cold for a while but heated back up in last couple of minutes. Bascoe up to 20.

 

[Centerstream]

After three quarters, Villanova still holding their lead over the #25 Mountaineers, now 68-51. Bascoe up to 24, having to sit on the bench with 3 fouls for a lot of the quarter.

Villanova putting a beat down on West Virginia? I didn’t see that coming.

Neither did west Virginia

 

[Centerstream]

Villanova wins 81-59. Bascoe ends with 24. She still looks like a very good player.

Maybe Mark Kellogg needs to play the 5 that played the entire second half against Duke.

As bad as the big east is… we have a few power 5 wins outside of UConn. Our conference rating probably isn’t that far behind the acc lol.

 

[Vowelguy]

Nova's losses to Princeton & Fairfield are not terrible, but this is their biggest win by far.

Telling stretch coming up with @ Gtown (5-2), v SHall (4-0), v StJohns (7-1). Those look to be the 4 BgE teams that we fighting for an NCAA berth. Maybe Crei/Marq too.

There's a decent gap (at least according to massey), but the ACC is only slight closer to 3rd place (B12) than it is to 5th place Big East.

SEC 817
B1G 810 (-1%)
B12 771 (-5%)
ACC 749 (-3%)
BGE 723 (-3%)
A10 669 (-7%)

Apparently Washington is doing this thing where they don't actually start playing until Q1 is over. Get off to slow starts almost every game. I'm not loving it.

San Jose St. is really bad. Came into the game 0-5, all 5 losses by double digits, to the likes of UCSB, Pepperdine, Portland St., Cal Baptist, and BYU the one maybe good team they've played. Portland St. just lost to UC San Diego by 30. Yet SJSU was within 4 at the end of Q1. Woke up and running away in Q2, but why does it take 10 minutes to start doing anything?
