Today's Matchups

Dominican at Lakeland: DU hoops has seen some rough times for both teams.

Aurora at Wisconsin Lutheran: WLC's meatgrinder December schedule continues.

Some head turning scores yesterday. Edgewood goes on the road and hands Aurora their first conference loss. MSOE loses to previously winless Dominican. Five teams are 1.5 games back of Marian to this point.

[Gregory Sager]

Good to see Dominican get off the schneid.

9. Rockford 3-8 (2-4)
10. Dominican 1-9 (1-6)
11. Concordia Chicago 2-7 (0-6)

Benedictine nearly springs a second upset over a ranked opponent. Also, Rockford picks up a nice win up in Madison - will this get them pointed in the right direction?

I thought Lakeland was going to be better than the 7th place team they were predicted as, but I wouldn't have believed you if you said they'd be only 1/2 game out at the holiday break. But in college, you never really know, especially with a couple impact newcomers aiding the Muskies' cause.
