The Undefeated and the Winless

[FCGrizzliesGrad]

Last year's hard luck ladies from Medgar Evers won their first game of the season against Pratt (who just restarted their women's team) 61-44. They may not get too many more wins this year, but they definitely look like they're getting better

[Mr. Ypsi]

Hope (undefeated list) loses to UWW.  Now, if they can rebound and beat UWSP.

Wooster faces Wheaton tomorrow - go Wheaton.

(Sorry, but I gotta cheer against the opposition to my IWU pick! )

A review of Friday's results show only Hope1 with Hope being knocked out of the contest.....

[Mr. Ypsi]

IWU (and Mr. Ypsi and HoopsFan) fall off the unbeaten list, 80-75 to Loras.  Loras is the early frontrunner for 'Jeckyl and Hyde' of the year, as they have now knocked both Preseason #5 Wheaton and #2 IWU (both of whom were unbeaten picks), while losing to mediocre CCIW team Millikin and generally sub-par even for the NathCon Rockford.  I defy anyone to make sense of that!!

Whitworth is on the ropes... down 4 under 1 minute...

I'm still taking Plymouth on the women's side.  Aside from Johnson state and Lyndon state (if they ever make that game up), there's not many opportunities on that schedule for Plymouth.

at least one explanation may be that Millikin is quickly growing out of the 'mediocre' status....

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

If I can dodge Maine-Augusta next week, I'm feeling pretty good about my winless pick.

I wouldn't say that. Millikin isn't even at mediocre status yet by CCIW standards. Remember, mediocre means "middle" -- and MU was 4-10 and finished sixth in the CCIW last season. If the Big Blue finishes 6-8, 7-7, or 8-6 and in fourth or fifth place, then I think we can safely describe them as "mediocre" this season.

darn it greg ...you get me at least once a year with the word mediocre... I never think of it as middle... rather I incorrectly use it as less than average, which is wrong...

We're not talking about a micro-set here (the CCIW) - we're talking about the macro-set (the D3 universe) - by those standards Millikin IS mediocre.
