I need some guidance from @triaddukefan . On Sunday we have a stirring match up between Incarnate Word and Our Lady Of The Lake. No Methodists or Baptists or anybody else invited to this one, purely Catholic vs. Catholic. Surely we need to do a little more than just throwing out the record book for this.

Wow. Oregon St. erased a 10 point deficit in just over 2 minutes to force OT against Gonzaga. Then took it in OT 71-67.
Two teams that were top 16 in the country last year. They might not even be top 16 in the Pacific time zone this year.

Oregon State's player exodus is well known, but it's a bit startling how bad Gonzaga is even with Ejim still there. The Truong twins and Maxwell did a lot for that team.

Hollingsworth as well. Although the stats aren't that much different, I think 100% of Zags fans would take Hollingsworth over Huijbens as a starter.

Allie Turner has been a revelation. That's the one positive to this season. Ejim is doing what was expected.

Hasnt the Gonzaga coach been sick (cancer?)? I’d assumed she’s been partially unavailable some of the last 6 months.
Maybe I’m wrong

Need to throw out the record book AND the rosary beads for that one.

Though technically you really shouldnt be throwing rosary beads. They’re kind of a sacred object.

You are correct. I'm not sure exactly when she was cleared to return to coaching duties.

Washington St. off to a 2-0 start in WCC.

Portland vs. Santa Clara was close for a while. 31-13 3rd quarter put an end to that. Pilots cruised 81-54, still an unblemished record at 14-0.
Coach Meeks has Portland playing well.

Terps stay undefeated beating MSU 72-66. The Terps play real good defense and they rebound the ball well.

Albany LEADS lsu at half 38-34
LSU has to be the weakest undefeated #6 ranked team in history. Struggling to beat teams that aren't that great. Things aren't clicking for them at all so far.

They needed to because they eeked that game out from what I watched today. Giving up 26 turnovers and losing double digit leads twice don't usually end up as a victory.

GREAT crowd here at Grand Canyon. Jacks well represented and electric atmosphere. TSA in the house for the Lopes.

Pre game shoot around was on point for NAU!

Must be close to 2000 in the house as Lopes and Jacks battle for bragging rights to Arizona

Tip in 5 minutes and you can watch on ESPN plus

The team 2 years ago probably had an even weaker sked. At least this year they beat NCSt.
Tho the close calls with Stanford and Washington were not inspiring.

The LSU-Tenn clash in 11 days will be interesting.

The schedule 2 years ago was definitely weaker but at least they were beating everyone easily. Washington and Stanford and Albany are not horrible teams like NC Central, but a top 10 team shouldn't be having to rally from behind to beat them, particularly at home.

Saylor started again and has another double double (14,10). Mir scored one point with two boards and Amari isn't in the box score.

Some pretty weird stats from the Iowa-Purdue game. Hawkeyes win easily 84-63. Only 1 player in double figures. How often do you see a team score 80+ and only 1 in double figures? But...5 players w/ 9 points. That's odd too.

At the half GCU 17 boards NAU 10. That says it all. Molly Miller unleashed her defensive dogs of war. The Jacks haven't faced any defense like this all year.

and

The Lopes punish NAU for their lack of interest in defenses.

Haven't done it in a while, but got my "somebody has to win" special of the day. 2-10 Seattle U. @ 0-11 Cal State Bakersfield. SU winless on the road and CSUB winless in any location. There's the old cliche about immovable object vs. irresistible force. This is not that. But someone will come away with a W.

Oklahoma is sleepwalking through their non-con match-up today! 31-26 halftime lead over 7-5 New Mexico State. :confused:

I can't help you out there.... I only know about the Protestants :oops:


Is Our Lady of the Lake a D2 school??? I've never heard of them.
