Nice work, Darryl!

Titan Q · January 02, 2009, 11:34:39 AM

Darryl, can you add St. Norbert, NYU, Wooster, St. John Fisher, and Randolph-Macon to the "watch list"? Just trying to identify a few more teams we need to start keeping an eye on. Thanks!

Darryl Nester · January 02, 2009, 04:33:16 PM

Titan Q:

I'll add St. John Fisher to the list for this weekend's report -- or rather, I'll ask Hoosier Titan to do so. The other four teams don't play any more games until next week, so I'll post their results since the last poll, and add them on the watch list (if necessary) after the next poll.

Wooster (7-4, 2-0 NCAC)

Dec. 29	Thiel	W, 82-63
Dec. 30	Mount Union	W, 80-61

NYU (8-0, 0-0 UAA)

Dec. 29	Rivier	W, 76-62
Dec. 30	New Paltz State	W, 73-68

Randolph-Macon (7-3, 2-0 ODAC)

Dec. 29	Frostburg State	W, 86-41
Dec. 30	Ursinus	W, 75-63

St. Norbert (8-1, 2-0 MWC)

Dec. 29	St. Scholastica	W, 70-42
Dec. 30	UW-Platteville	W, 70-68

Interesting match-up tonight in Tacoma, Washington where No. 22 Puget Sound hosts Lewis & Clark (6-3). It's always tough to gauge these teams with their non-conference schedules understandably filled with non-divisional opponents. Lewis & Clark has played No. 6 UW-Whitewater and Division I Portland State respectably in two of its three loses. The third is a one-point defeat versus UW-Oshkosh.

If St. Joseph's (L.I.) wins a couple more games, you may want to add them to the list. The Golden Eagles are 8-0 but let's see how they do with Montclair State (winners of seven straight) and Farmingdale State (Skyline Champs) this week.

UPS won at home with a very impressive second half. Just pulled away and thoroughly "outeverythinged" LC.

The other NWC conference ranked team, Whitworth, routed George Fox with F Calvin Jurich having a very impressive triple double in 25 minutes of playing time as well as the team shooting 16-25 from 3pt.

What happened to Ursinus at Cornell today?

Pat Coleman · January 04, 2009, 12:44:29 AM

They lost big, but Division I teams have a way of doing that.

I see, I just assumed that the Cornell was the one in Iowa.

Unless they are truly bad D1 teams like SIU-E!

Still, Millikin's win over SIU-E, combined with Millikin's loss to 10-loss York (NY) and SIU-E's win over a WMU team that will win some games, should give a whole lot of d3 teams quick access to 'chain' wins over a whole lot of d1 teams!

Do you know of any basketball equivalent of that 'chain of wins' football site? IF Caltech ever wins a game (and UMPI or Finlandia, as a backup), I want to 'prove' they are better than UNC (or whoever).

Pat Coleman · January 04, 2009, 01:38:12 AM

Massey has had them in the past, I think ...

So far I can get Millikin to Duke........and by default York(NY)

Millikin > SIU-Edwardsville > Western Michigan > Detroit Mercy > Central Michigan > Cleveland State > Syracuse > Kansas > Tennessee > Georgetown > Maryland > Michigan State > Texas > Wisconsin > Michigan > Duke

Obviously if Duke beats North Carolina this year.............you probably most of the CCIW better than North Carolina.

Duke is currently the highest ranked team with a loss at #4.
