... It wasn't to a D-III team, but #21 River Falls loses on the road at NAIA Viterbo 73-63 in a game where the hosts shot 33/39 from the charity stripe

Are you saying there's a bit o' home cookin' there?

Are you saying there's a bit o' home cookin' there?

I dunno... but Viterbo is 3-0, with their other wins being of the nail-biter variety over those basketball powerhouses Trinity Christian (71-68) and Silver Lake College (56-54).

The V-hawks were 6-25 last year and lost this game by 33. 

Viterbo also has 2 seniors and 3 juniors listed on their roster... none of whom have played a minute thus far this season.

Perhaps they've turned it around?  Maybe something strange is going on?  Maybe RF got hosed?  Or perhaps they're not as good as many of us have been projecting...?

#7 Rochester barely survives against Plattsburgh State as the Cardinals held a 68-67 lead with 26 seconds to go. Rochester comes down looking for the lead and Plattsburgh is called for a blocking foul against an out of control John Dibartolomeo. He goes to the line and makes the first one to tie the game. He misses the 2nd one and Rochester gets the rebound and scores.  Cards come down and miss a shot and after a scramble for a loose ball a foul is called against the Cards. Coach Curle gets called for a technical, and after Rochester goes to the line Curle gets T'd up again and tossed.  Final score 74-68. I think Plattburgh got jobbed. Even the U of R announcers said that Dibartolomeo got bailed out on the blocking foul called against Plattsburgh when the Cardinals had the lead with 20 seconds left.

#5 Middlebury moves to 2-0 with a victory over host Ramapo 73-62 to claim the championship of the Roadrunners Tip Off Tournament. It was Ramapo's 1st loss of the year after opening the season with 3 wins. Middlebury has played both of their games without preseason All American Ryan Sharry, who is out with a sprained ankle.
