Top 25 talk

Since this was an exhibition it doesnt count officially, however on 12/4 Guilford got handled severly by Prep power Hargrave Military Academy(VA) on thier home court 88-49. While it is likely that all of Hargraves players will be Frosh next year at Division I programs it is still disconserting to see a top D3 program dismantled by a group of PG players. http://www.hargrave.edu/athletics/sport_index.php?category_id=19

This wasn't Guilford's varsity team, was it??

No, it was a JV team. 

Guilford beat Methodist last night, 74-48.

I suggest you Modify your post, and change the name to "Guilford JV got destroyed" so as not to mislead.   It is really an off-topic post.

Actually the first game with Hargrave was on Monday, Dec 4, so its still inquestion who exactly played for Guilford.

#   22   St. Thomas (6-2) def. Hamline 72-64, lost at Macalester 72-70, and plays at St. Olaf Sat.

Apparently UST has an ongoing problem with teams nicknamed the Scots.

With a full 25-game schedule in place though, I think it's safe to assume the Guilford varsity did not go play an unscheduled exhibition game on 12/4 (which would put them over the allowed limit of games).

The Tommies must have an aversion to kilts!  Or maybe it's just tartan plaid!  Or maybe a bit of both!!!

If the Tommies were to schedule Alma (0-5), Monmouth (0-5), or MacMurray (1-5), I bet that they'd get their Scotophobia out of their system with a minimum of fuss.

However, I'd avoid Maryville TN (5-0) or Gordon (6-1) if I was UST head coach Steve Fritz.

Doesn't anyone want to be ranked? Yeesh. More carnage!

It's reminding me of the CFB season?!

As posted on another thread, one of the Judges leading scorers left the game with a back injury, although I am unsure at what point, judging by his normal minutes and the box score from last nights game I would say he left with roughly 10 minutes to go in regulation but that is simply a guess.

"Puget Sound's game at Warner Pacific, scheduled for Tue., has been postponed until Mon. 12/10"

the lastest update is that their game against Warner Pac is now indefinately postponed...to bad for the Loggers. 

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

Brandies beats Amherst 72-62... and the Judges' radio guys are lobbying for #1 from the pollsters... asking for the UMass-Dartmouth game to be basically ignored, since they say the losse was against an undefeated team on the road...

The problem is... Brandies still lost to a team they probably should have beat... not sure if that will garner first-place votes... but it could!

By the way, if Brandies gets #1 votes... then those who vote probably need to consider giving UMass-Dartmouth some love - just my opinion .

[old_hooper]

I can understand how the announers from Brandeis feel right now with the big win.  But it would be hard to give them the #1 position over Rochester from all the voters and I am not sure that the voters will support that.  I think that this win gets them the #2 position had they lost they may have fallen below the top 10.  UMass Dartmonth needs to get some love with their win.  If DeLuca gets healthy and can get back to last year level, this could be Brandeis year.

A few other top 25 results, gleaned from various boards:

In the ODAC, Guilford wins, but Va Wes narrowly falls.  Hope avenges their only loss with a fairly confortable win over NAIA Aquinas.  Woo wins an early NCAC showdown with OWU.  WashU, still regrouping after the loss of Sean Wallis, barely edges a VERY young IWU team at home.
