Duke beats ND and UNC loses, does the bag come off @triaddukefan s head?

Also hoo boy on the ACC this year

I'd like to trot out the ol' Pac-12 homerism "there are no nights off in the Pac-12," but with Pitt and BC in a slap fest for dead last in the ACC, I'm not sure even I can say that with a straight face. But at least the top of the conference is keeping things interesting?
 
Duke wins ... Chapel Hill loses

Santa Clara trying to bounce back from the loss to LMU leading the Zags 19-14. After a pathetic defensive effort against the Lions the Broncos are working their D muscles through 1 quarter.

Edit: After giving up 92 to LMU on Friday the Broncos hold Gonzaga to 34 in the first half.

After shooting 9-11 against LMU with a perfect 6-6 first half Sophie Glancy is again perfect in the first half 5-5 from the field with 14 points.

Stanford’s a bit all over the place this year with a loss to 6-7 FGCU, a close win over 2-14 Washington State, and a meltdown 28-point loss to NC State.

But ranked wins over Washington (nice value there after Michigan’s loss) and North Carolina (maybe overranked, but also about as far of a road game as possible).

I’d be surprised if Kate Paye doesn’t turn out to be a good coach with good results over time after so many years under Tara.

If you told me Crooks would have 22 pts at the half and Baylor's Scott was riding the bench with zero points and 0-8 from the field I'd not have picked Baylor to be up by 2 at the half. Big scoring boost from Bear's Deng off the bench with 10 pts. Lot-o-turnovers by ISU.
 
Bad home loss for North Carolina; who I assume want to win the conference.

Good conference win for Creighton. They are missing a lot of players right now. And pretty much played without a point guard today.

Okay, can we just concede the NEC to Fairleigh Dickinson now and spare the pain of watching this conference for a couple more months? FDU destroyed St. Francis 73-28.

But hey, previously winless Mercyhurst took Le Moyne to the woodshed 89-72 and improved to 1-12.

Wait, why are YOU in the Northwest, watching a New England conference (my neck of the woods)? Heck, even I wouldn't stop my surfing to briefly pause at ANY NEC game.

What about UVa? All over Florida St. early, if it holds

Dang, I did it AGAIN. Game now in 2 OT.

I didn't even say anything, but Texas A&M decided not to play in the 4th quarter, only scored 1 point, and is now in OT w/ Georgia.

Games are 4 quarters long people, I thought we all knew that (a team I root for struggles w/ this concept w/ a number of 4th quarter meltdowns in recent years).
 
How does Arkansas have 11 wins? Getting pummeled by Alabama 60-34.

For some reason it wasn't clear in my head if Neighbors is still the coach or not. He isn't. Now Kelsi Musick (who?). Her tenure is not off to a good start.

Oooh, in the NOT battle for supremacy in Washington, Seattle U. (4-10 but only 2 D1 wins) is leading Washington St. (2-14) early. This would be a disastrous loss for the Cougs if they don't turn it around.
 
A&M was up 37-22 at the half. After scoring 1 point in Q4, they have managed 1 point thru 4 1/2 minutes of OT, trailing by 7. What the heck happened?
 
14-1 Mississippi St. is trailing Oklahoma 70-30 nearing the end of Q3. Maybe we should just do away w/ OOC? Not really, but the records some of these teams roll to is beyond meaningless.

edit--although MSU just beat Auburn by 22, who also cruised to double digit wins against a fairly weak OOC
 
Whew, UVa triumphs 91-87 in 2 OT, so their fans don't need to come after me.

A&M did not survive their late game swoon, Georgia runs their record to 15-1. Gauntlet of LSU, South Carolina and Ole Miss coming up, so look for the losses to start mounting.
 
Villanova @ Marquette is a big game in the Big East. Nova is 5-0, Marquette 3-2 but the Golden Eagles have been leading most of the way in this one. Not that there's any chance of anyone other than UConn winning the conference, but the Cats can't afford to lose to anyone other than UConn just to keep slim hopes alive.

And Nova is on a 10 game winning streak, which includes six road wins.

I'm just trying to offer blanket protection for everybody.
