I was the only guy in the theater when I saw the movie Lambs for Lions a couple of weeks ago.

Interesting #25 RIC falls to Springfield last night and are now 8-2.  Their first win (exhibition game) of the year was against D1 Holy Cross who is now 7-1.  Congrats to Coach Brock and springfield (3-5) for its second win against a ranked team.

Log: Personally I believe Paul Reubens was also in the theatre - hiding in the back row.

Question: what's worse than a game with 87 free throws?
Answer: one with 42 missed free throws.
That's what happened in #5 Mary Hardin-Baylor's 58-46 victory over Texas-Tyler this afternoon.  Egad.  Tyler was just 22.6% from the field, 13.3% from the arc, and 48.8% from the stripe, negating a +12 on the boards and +18 on FGA.
UMHB: 30 personal fouls, 2 technical fouls, 1 disqualification, 25/46 from the line (54.3%)
UTT: 29 personal fouls, 2 technical fouls, 1 disqualification, 20/41 from the line (48.8%)
The technicals were a pair of double-technicals in a 31-second span of the second half.  Seems like the Christmas spirit was a little lacking at the Patriot center this afternoon.  When's the rematch?

UT-Tyler is in the ASC-East, UMHB the ASC-West.  The new UT-Tyler head coach is a former Miss College assistant.  He may be wanting to take the UT-Tyler program to the next level now that it is in its first season of regular D-III membership (and never having been eligible for any championship.)

Right now, the best chance at a re-match is the first round of the ASC Tourney at UMHB, if UMHB wins the West and UT-Tyler comes in 4th in the East.

Those are my early projections.

I'm guessing that Wooster should extend their streak in top 25 for at least one more week with a good  win over NAIA II #3 ranked Walsh tonight. 

Now the Scots are off to the Bahamas to try and keep their streak alive vs. St. Mary's and another  NAIA foe in Benedictine (IL).  Hopefully, Wooster doesn't let the warm weather and sandy beaches of the Bahamas distract them from getting the job done on the court in what should be 2 winnable games for the Scots.

Benedictine is D3

DC- minor correction- Wooster's record moved to 5-2 with the win.

Thanks...fixed!

[ScotsFan]

Benedictine is D3

oops, I must've been thinking of the wrong Benedictine.

#11 Whitewater defeated Olivet, 74-53, this afternoon in Olivet. When I was inputting the result on D3hoops.com after the game, I noticed that neither myself or UWW's SID had forgotten to update the schedule with the new game date. It was originally scheduled for this Thursday, but was changed to today a month ago.
