(at Augie)

Clicked on the live stats of a game between Manhattenville and William Paterson powered by Sidearm Sports. They are showing Manhattenville playing Ramapo with 6 minutes to go in the 1st half. I was a little confused as it was a game we chose this week in our pick ems contest and was sure we didn't make a mistake. Went to William Paterson's roster to see if the players listed on the live stats page were from Ramapo or Willie Paterson. Sure enough they are William Paterson's players. Apparently Sidearm doesn't know who's playng who.

Final. Olivet over JCU 86-79.

[Titan Q]

Final...

Hanover 56
#20 Wash U 52


Wash U with its third loss in a row (@ UW-Platteville, @ Augustana, @ Hanover).  When is the last time that happened?

And I wonder when the last time Wash U scored just 52 points?

[David Collinge]

JCU figures to be tested again tomorrow as they face Michael McClary and Olivet (3-2).

Told ya.  

Wooster has caught fire on both ends and now leads by 6 with 0:42 left.
UPDATE:  Despite playing only about 5 minutes of good basketball, #6 Wooster survives lightly-regarded CMU 71-68.

[Titan Q]

Final...

North Central 84
#25 Manchester 73


Manchester beat Wheaton by 19 on the same floor on Nov. 16...since then Wheaton has blown out UW-Whitewater and Loras.  

Coming into this game North Central was 0-4, with home losses to Bluffton, Edgewood, and Aurora, and road loss yesterday to Illinois College.

Go figure.

[Titan Q]

Wash U is 0-2 on the non-conference swing I talked about recently, with 3 tough ones left...

...and I'd be very surprised to find Washington U. outside the poll in February.

I think it depends on two things, David.

1) How many losses will the Bears rack up in these non-conference games...

* Nov. 22, @ Augustana
* Nov. 28, @ Hanover
* Dec. 4, vs Claremont-Mudd-Scripps
* Dec. 11, @ Wheaton
* Dec. 18, vs Illinois Wesleyan

and,

2) In what appears to be a down year in the UAA, is Wash U (picked as the favorite) truly better than everyone else, or is there some parity near the top?  In other words, will the Bears go, say, 12-2 or will they go 9-5?  


Wash U does appear to have some very serious questions right now in their rotation...depth maybe being the biggie.

Today's scoreboard is showing Middlebury losing to Johnson St. 38-18 at the half. That score should be reversed. Middlebury is now up 45-20 with 16:45 left to play in the game.

#9 Middlebury remains unbeaten at 3-0 as they crush Johnson State 86-31.

[Pat Coleman]

Today's scoreboard is showing Middlebury losing to Johnson St. 38-18 at the half. That score should be reversed. Middlebury is now up 45-20 with 16:45 left to play in the game.  

System is only as good as the school punching it in.

How They Fared

One game missing (Carleton vs. Chaminade), but as Carleton is 0-2 going into that game, I am guessing their results vs. an NCAA D2 school are not needed.  (Unless, of course, they win.) (Result edited in below, FWIW.)

The report is split because it ran over the 16000 character limit.  Next week's report should have fewer schools.

As noted before, this report does not include any designation for games on neutral sites.  If this is added to the d3hoops scoreboard, I will restore that feature to my program as quickly as I can.

Note also that this report does NOT note which games went to overtime (it did last year).  This information IS available on the d3hoops scoreboard pages, and I hope to restore that functionality to my program in the next week.

Darryl, I can't thank you enough for doing "How they fared" again!
