Top 25 talk

[Pat Coleman]

I had no problem with the video.

Then again, we didn't have the video link on the scoreboard when the night started. I didn't post it until after I got in. (We count on the schools to be the first line of ... offense ... when posting audio, video and live stats links.)

[David Collinge]

Double upset alert from the NWC:
#9 Puget Sound is being tested at home by Linfield, tied at 80, 2:11 left.  Live stats.
#22 Lewis & Clark is being annihilated at Whitworth, 47-24, 10:15 left.  Live stats; audio.


UPDATE 1:  UPS survives, 89-82.
UPDATE 2: Whitworth 64, L&C 33.  Final.  Not an error.

[Mr. Ypsi]

UPS dodges the bullet, 89-82.  But it looks like L&C is going down - trailing by 28 with 6 to go.

UPS really did dodge a bullet...not their best effort, but just good enough for a win

[Rhodes Scholar]

I would imagine that Lewis and Clark scoring only 33 points in their 64-33 loss to Whitworth would constitute the lowest point total ever by a Top 25 team since the inception of the poll.

Whitworth must have been playing great D.  Lewis and Clark can put up a lot of points, but LC only made 12 field goals the entire game.

If UPS dodged a bullet, the L&C took an IED.   

Some nights, it is just bad!

[Pio20]

The 33 points scored by the Pioneers was just two points off the lowest offensive totals in Pioneer history, a 40-31 loss to Pacific in 1949. That is worse than bad.

Lewis & Clark rebounds with a 76-68 win over Whitman after last night's poor performance.

[ILive4This]

I think Rochester will actually pick up close to all of the first place votes, as Williams is no longer undefeated, and they finally showed they can beat some quality teams in BPort (hold the jokes) and Nazareth, especially coming from behind at the half today shows real poise.

[Greek Tragedy]

Or maybe they'll lose some to Amherst.

[Pio20]

Interesting night in the SCIAC, as #21 Oxy lost to Claremont-Mudd-Scripps 55-42 AND #24 Cal Lutheran lost to Whittier 69-58. Whittier was up 40-25 at the half after shooting an astounding 68% from the field and 57% from three. Add 26 Cal Lutheran turnovers to that and the result is a Whittier victory.

[LogShow]

so much for all that 2 teams from the SCIAC in the top 25...it was fun while it lasted

[ILive4This]

I do not foresee Rochester loosing first place votes to Amherst...Why? because they beat williams which was only earning one first place vote, and lost to Brandeis earlier this season which is ranked ahead of them, so if anyone gains this vote its the Judges. However, I do think that Rochester became a stronger number 1 with the wins at the Chase, while Amherst just prevented a perhaps sizable slide in the rankings.

Another side note, will UMD crack the top 15 in this week's poll?
