Looks like WashU did alright in their first game as #1.

Yeah but the #1 was short lived as they lose to Calvin today 87-82

Will the new poll come out next tuesday, after more games have played? If so, where does Wash U drop to? Does Amherst move into the #1 spot that some say should have been theirs all along. How high does Calvin climb? Top 15? Top 10?

[sac]

How far up Calvin goes up, will depend on what happens this weekend when they could face Hope #11 in a weekend tournament.

How far up Calvin goes up, will depend on what happens this weekend when they could face Hope #11 in a weekend tournament.

Are Calvin and Hope playing best 3 out of 5 this year?   

[Dark Knight]

Will the new poll come out next tuesday, after more games have played? If so, where does Wash U drop to?

I don't think Wash U needs to drop much based on that game. They were at Calvin, a quality team with low-post presence to match Ruths. Calvin has been focusing on this game for months. And Wash U had just come off a tiring win against a physical ONU team the night before; Calvin had an easier game against Grace Bible.

Of course, the upcoming game against Augie will add lots of information.

[gccfan]

Looks like there is an upset brewing in Longview, TX... LeTourneau is up 37-22 at the half against Mary hardin-Baylor.  LETU quickness forced 14 first half turnovers.  UMHB is missing Neiman Ford, a starter from last year.  He's on the roster, but evidently didn't make the trip.

[John Gleich]

From the CCIW page... it looks like #5 Augie beat #1 Wash U @ Wash U 66-62 RECAP

[ILive4This]

Wash U did lose, but the score was actually 66-60. Two early tough loses for the Bears, and now one of their top players is out for the season it looks like.

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

That Wooster loss is a bit of a surprise!

[cardinalpride]

That Wooster loss is a bit of a surprise!

I'll say!  That officially puts me out of the survivor pool...

[ILive4This]

If Wash U plays Babson it will be intersting to see how their game now sans Wallis compares to the Brandeis game from last night. Not always a great indicator, but could be helpful to see how the "new" Bears compare to the rest of the UAA

[sac]

1 day old poll, already 2 losses in the top 4.

Puget Sound has the right idea.
