Games of interest

[ABC]

Any team we've beaten needs to win. Cheer like crazy for BYU, Texas, Tennessee and Alabama.

Alabama at UCLA tonight at 9 p.m. CT
BYU at Loyola Marymount, 3 p.m.

Depaul beats northwestern at the buzzer. I guess it is good for the RPI, but isn't NW terrible too?

They both are between 100-125 rpis right now, so it's a good win for Depaul. Still think they have very little chance to eke into the top 100 but you never know till conference play starts.

Tennessee has an absolute must-win game on Monday against UVA in Knoxville. Cheer angry for the Vols.

ISU Blue up 38-36 on Belmont at half.

[The Cat]

Indiana State beats Belmont by 10+, nice win

[AndShock]

Indiana State beats Belmont by 10+, nice win

They should've swept them. At least they didn't have their patented second half collapse today.

Pretty average Belmont team. Goes to show how average and overrated UNC is. Teams like that get rated based on their best day. Teams like WSU get rated on their worst day.

Watched a little of Duke. Have a tremendous amount of respect for Coach K but that's a different Duke team. They wouldn't win 1 of 10 at the Chuck, and I'd love our chances at CIS.

Agreed. Duke sucks. No way are they a Top 10 team.

Do we pass Villanova after they lose at Syracuse?

I would say keeping it close they would not be penalized too much (and shouldn't be) but they lost by 16, even though the spread didn't reflect how the game went until the very end. It was 5-8 most of the second half. In a flashback to WSU @ the Dome in 2006-07, Syracuse overcame an 18 point first half deficit with a 20-0 run.

Do we pass Villanova after they lose at Syracuse?

Your question will only be relevant IF the Shocks take care of business in adequate fashion vs Davidson. Once we know the final resolution of that issue your question is of much greater interest.

Do we pass Villanova after they lose at Syracuse?

Yep.

The only issue is whether Baylor continues to gain enough votes to leapfrog us. I don't see that happening if we beat Davidson by double digits.

Tennessee State blows a 4 point lead in the final 30 seconds to lose at Eastern Illinois, 70-69. TSU remains winless against D1 competition.

BYU trails Loyola Marymount 44-31 in the first half- a loss here would be horrible. We have precious few quality victories and can't afford any of them to slip into meh territory.

Also, #6 Louisville trails #18 Kentucky 26-22.

[Shocker1976]

Indiana State beats Belmont by 10+, nice win

IMO Indiana State record should be 11-1; bad losses to Belmont and Tulsa. Would be great for the Valley to have a 12-0 team and an 11-1 team at this point in time.

Tennessee State had to play their best game of the season against the Shocks.

BYU isn't good right now. This a bad Marymount team they are going to lose to today. I feared their lack of depth would affect their success, and it appears those fears are being realized. Shame.
