IWU has 10 days off now before facing #4 Wash U -- will be interesting to see if any of those 4 perimeter guys are back for that game.

I am thankful the game is scheduled during reading week for both teams, unlike two years ago when the Bears traveled to play an Illinois Wesleyan squad that had finished with finals a week prior.

I'm old school... what is 'reading week'?    is it finals week?  or the week before finals?  or something else?
The only thing not to be liked in Florida is no D3 hoops!!!

IWU's depth, especially on the perimeter, is staggering this year. It's amazing that they can have as many good perimeter players out... and still be "just a pretty good team!"

Definitely deep on the perimeter, but the 4 "difference makers" are Overstreet, Rossi, Nelson, and Zimmer. 

When these guys are all in the mix, the Titans will be extremely tough to guard.

Final: #3 Wooster 81  #23 Marietta 78

Nice road win for Wooster as they beat a 4-0 Marietta team.  Wooster has now defeated 3 teams ranked in the top 30 (Baldwin Wallace, Wheaton, Marietta).

WUPHF

Another Top 25 team at risk for a loss as Carthage leads No. 4 Washington University by 4 with one minute left.

And, No. 4 Washington University falls to Carthage in a back and forth game that featured three technical fouls and some other questionable calls on both sides.

I completely forgot to publish my Top 25 ballot from last week, but I figure it is never too late: http://www.d3blogs.com/d3hoops/2013/12/01/daves-top-25-ballot-week-1/

As you can see, I was clearly writing that last week... it just slipped my mind to button it up and publish it.

Now on to this week's ballot!

How They Fared
I think the only missing score is Christopher Newport/Eastern Mennonite (at halftime as I post this).

Strange But True Top 25 (Week Two) Trivia

Week Two poll in 2012-13 had 19 of the top 25 undefeated, while only 9 are undefeated in the top 25 in 2013-14. The Week Two poll for this year is one week earlier than last year.

#1 Amherst was idle....and still gained 16 points.

While former #22 North Central won their only game of the week against Benedictine and lost 55 points dropping out of the top 25. The rest of the Top 25 can breathe easy none of them meet the Eagles this year.

St. Thomas dropped from #15 in the preseason poll to #18 in Week 1 and is now back to #15........without playing last week.

St. Mary's gained 55 points in the poll and didn't move an inch, remaining at #12. While Williams gained 54 points and jumped 3 spots.

Wheaton went 0-1 for the week and gained 12 points and one spot up to #13.

And Middlebury went 1-0 and lost 12 points and two spots to #21

Whitworth was 1-1 on the week and fell off a cliff, losing 173 points and 15 spots from #16 to #31.

Nice work, frodo. You must have been bored waiting for the WIAC fantasy league to start!  :P

Tonight should be a very good matchup with Tufts @ WPI.  Pretty much everyone on the NESCAC boards had Tufts primed to have a big year, possibly jumping into the top tier of teams with Amherst/Midd/Williams but unfortunately life happens and their star sophomore (NESCAC ROY last year) Palleschi had his career ended early due to health problems.  While everyone was expecting a let down, Tufts have rolled to a 5-1 start fueled largely by the play of another good freshman big man, Hunter Sabety (14.5 ppg, 7.7 rpg).  They handled MIT last week in another NEWMAC match up, tonight will be their toughest test of the year so far against WPI who also lost one of their main guys.  Should be a good game with two very balanced teams.
