Wash U just lost its first game when leading at the break... Chicago 74 - Brandies 66

Did I miss something?

Yeah, something is not right there.  WashU won today AND Brandeis's loss today was their second loss this season after leading at the half (the have lost both matchups against Chicago after leading at the half).  Also, WashU has not lost this season when leading at the half (4 of their losses came when trailing at the half and they were tied at the half against Brandeis on Friday).

I think what Dave was trying to tell us was that Brandeis lost for the 1st time when leading at the break. But guess that wasn't true either according to hugenerd.

[Pat Coleman]

Perhaps Wash U lost for the first time when Brandeis was leading at the break.

Perhaps Wash U lost for the first time when Brandeis was leading at the break.

I think you just stole D-Mac's excuse right out from under him.

On the way home from the Centre victory against Sewanee 82-50. Centre established another SCAC league record by being the 1st team to go through the regular season undefeated in league play at 14-0. Today's victory also extended the Colonels winning streak to 23.

Let the carnage begin!

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

Haven't we already been seeing carnage? Whitewater getting crushed by Stevens Point... who got crushed by Platteville in the last week or so!

[LogShow]

True...but no second chances now

Looks like former UPS head coach Bridgeland won't get the interm tag lifted.

Superior just beat Oshkosh on Saturday.

Eau Claire beat Platteville IN Eau Claire earlier this year.

If it's chalk, Point goes to Platteville on Wednesday, this after just getting hammered there on Saturday.

Oshkosh and Whitewater split during the season with the home team prevailing.

I know that most people dont put too much stock in Massey, but I found it amazing that Chicago is ranked #4 in massey's ratings with MOV (which is generally considered to be a better metric than the regular massey ratings) and that ranking was before this weekend, in which they went 2-0 with a win over Brandeis.

[John Gleich]

Haven't we already been seeing carnage? Whitewater getting crushed by Stevens Point... who got crushed by Platteville in the last week or so!

So, with comparitive scores... 

Platte beat SP 84-69

SP beat WW 76-47

So... Platteville would beat Whitewater by about 48

... but Whitewater beat Platteville by 4 a week and a half ago!

Oh well!

I predict one of the big four gets beat in the first round, although I have no clue which one.
