The Undefeated and the Winless

[smedindy]

Yes, and remember Earlham left the NCAC because of the stiff competition...whoops-a-daisy!

[magicman]

Catholic falls off the undefeated list, losing to BSU by1.

That was one heluva game. Watched it on video.  Buffalo State with a big second half comeback to win it. Complete wrap up of the game over on the SUNYAC board.

Averett came off the winless vs D3 list, beating Bridgewater 74-68 on Sunday 1/1

BUT... HEADLINE....LAST NIGHT...... winless Macalester beat Carleton 71-69..... my main data tutor Knightslappy, down and out, drowning his sorrows on 28th street!!!

4 left in the undefeated contest, down to the championship duo in the winless!!!!

Millikin watches Cornell miss a shot for the win...  beats Cornell 58-57....  off our list of winless, and taking Augie77 out of our contest... 3 left in the winless contest:

Polytechnic  (Pointspecial)
Principia   (hopefan)
Macalester  (knightslappy)



Oh, but for a better last second bounce versus Cornell, and I'd be pretty confident in my Millikin pick for winless.  Now that the non-conference portion of the season is over, I don't see any way that they win a game in the CCIW.

They have a 23% chance of beating North Park at home in February!

Goucher jumps off winless vs D3 list last night, beating Rutgers-Camden  94-66

My Middlebury Panthers roll over hopefan's Alma Mater, 123 -111. They must have used an NBA shot clock for this game. Either that or it was really 10 guys from Grinnell getting it on. Sounds like All American, Ryan Sharry, is fully recovered from his injury as he put up 41 points on a 19x23 shooting effort. The Panthers broke the school record for points scored in a game. I think they were trying to impress that Top 25 Poll voter who switched his vote this week to MIT.

Magic   I noticed Martin Luther moved to winless vs D3... I originally had ML losing to Waldorf on 11/28, therefore being winless...  but now D3hoops lists ML as the winner of the game.. given that, they were moved to winless vs D3.... HOWEVER... ML's site shows they LOST to Waldorf... I think they should be on the winless list.....

That sounds like the problems we had with Millsaps a couple of years ago. They didn't know if they were coming or going either. I'll update the list in a little while and bring it forward. Thanks for the info.

hopefan,
It wasn't a good night for the Liberty League as Franklin & Marshall took down Hobart 81-71 to remain undefeated. Darn, I was really rooting hard for Hobart tonight to maybe winnow out a certain contestant. 

[smedindy]

Waldorf's site says that the "Salad" Warriors beat the Thesis Hammerers 70-52.

[magicman]

Colby defeated Maine-Maritime last night 51-45 and drops off the winless vs D3 list.

[magicman]

And in the battle of the Good Books:

Lancaster Bible defeated Baptist Bible 61-51  Lancaster Bible drops off the winless list. Baptist bible stays on it.
