Week 9 games (Jan. 18-24)

Hey, I saw a list of unbeatens last night (Louisville, UConn, NC State). It was conspicuously missing Cap Baptist, who just improved to 13-0!

Bucknell and Alabama State would like to be included as well!

I think the blurb on ESPN had the disclaimer "Unbeaten Top 25 Teams" but maybe I could be wrong.

Evansville forfeited to Illinois St. today?! With all the crazy scheduling stuff happening, I wonder what had to transpire to cause a forfeit.

UC Davis is 1-0. Haven't played since the beginning of the season, but in action right now.

In Big South Action.... Conference leader HPU is ripping through the Blue Hose of PC... 57-30 at the end of the 3rd quarter.

Evansville forfeited to Illinois St. today?! With all the crazy scheduling stuff happening, I wonder what had to transpire to cause a forfeit.

I read an article earlier today that Evansville Medical Team decided that they shouldn't play, but it must not have met the criteria for a postponement as laid out by the league. You'll note that the two teams played last night, so I'm not sure what might've caused a difference in 24 hours.

Interesting Horizon matchup, 10-0 (13-1 overall) Milwaukee against 6-0 (8-1 overall) IUPUI. Milwaukee up 1 midway thru Q4.

 

[triaddukefan]

High Point with its 10th staight win.. 75-53 over Presbyterian. Same teams play tomorrow.

Interesting Horizon matchup, 10-0 (13-1 overall) Milwaukee against 6-0 (8-1 overall) IUPUI. Milwaukee up 1 midway thru Q4.

Ouch. I thought that IUPUI had this one going away after an 11-2 start, but Milwaukee has absolutely shut down Maycee Williams who's scored just 6 points on 2-15 shooting. I'll bet that she's going to come out firing the next game.

Milwaukee up 10 with 1 to go.

 

[nwhoopfan]

North Dakota w/ a costly 2 point loss to Denver. Dropped to 5-2 in the Summit, South Dakota and South Dakota St. are both undefeated in conference still.

 

[Lorcan]

Yeah, Jeffcoat with a huge block at the end to escape with the win! No video evidence, of course.

DU has been a perplexing team for me this season. They've beaten Colorado and North Dakota State, dropped a game to Air Force and Oral Roberts. I think there's potential, just trying to figure out consistency and better free throw shooting is key. They were 9-20 from the line today, so marginally better than UConn.

 

[triaddukefan]

My goodness UNC-G

 

[triaddukefan]

lawd hammercy

 

[triaddukefan]

UNC-G gets its first conference win of the season... 56-53 over ETSU.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Missouri St. 73-72 win over Drake.

 

[DefenseBB]

North Dakota w/ a costly 2 point loss to Denver. Dropped to 5-2 in the Summit, South Dakota and South Dakota St. are both undefeated in conference still.

REALLY???? You of all people...It was ND STATE who lost. North Dakota is 0-12 on the year.

 

[LETTERL]

Kind of an upset in the Horizon League. Robert Morris picked up its first win of the season, 50-43, over Wright State. Robert Morris moves to 1-8 on the season, 1-8 in the Horizon. Wright State falls to 9-4, 9-2 Horizon League.

Could Robert Morris do it again? Tied with Wright State, 35-35, at the half.

 

[LETTERL]

Wright State holds a 51-45 lead, going to the 4th.

 

[LETTERL]

They did it again! Robert Morris upset Wright State for the second day in a row, 68-65.

 

[LETTERL]

Another upset in the Horizon: Cleveland State over Green Bay.

 

[triaddukefan]

Huge upset brewing in Cullowhee... Western Carolina is leading the mighty Terriers of Wofford 49-34.. with 52 seconds left in the 3rd quarter. Can my Catamounts hold on???

 

[triaddukefan]

A final out of the mountains...... Western Carolina (my catamounts) defeats the tough Terriers of Wofford 65-54, handing the terriers their first loss of the conference season. WCU got a measure of revenge in that Wofford handed them a 20pt loss on thursday.

Fight on you catamounts !!

 

[DefenseBB]

So over on ESPN+ is 2nd place UCF vs. 4th place Houston with 2 min left in the 3rd Quarter 26-20! I am sooo glad to be out of the American. That is just a putrid game. At least the Big East 2nd (DePaul) and 4th place (Seton Hall) teams are more respectful representatives than this junk.

The Big East does need Georgetown and Butler to get better very soon as they are terrible. At least the 2-5 teams of DePaul, Marquette, SH and Villanova all look competitive albeit still slightly behind the ACC/Big 12 teams.

 

[triaddukefan]

Down in Clinton SC.... the Blue Hose of PC lead the powerful Panthers of HPU 40-38 at the end of 3 quarters. Lose this.... and High Point will fall from the BY Rankings.

 

[gophers1995]

FGCU wins big today. Bell had a monster double double 29 and 12!

 

[nwhoopfan]

REALLY???? You of all people...It was ND STATE who lost. North Dakota is 0-12 on the year.

Dang it I knew it was the Bizon but I forgot to type the State. You got me.
