104-70 WashU over Carnegie Mellon.

[deiscanton]

No road sweep today!

Case 78, Chicago 73 Final

Emory headed to victory over Brandeis.  I am preparing to watch the women's contest in Waltham.

Nice to chat with some of the MIT men's basketball team, who came for the first half of the Brandeis men's game.

Final scores--

Emory 90, Brandeis 57
Rochester 87, NYU 82

Road teams go 3-1 on men's side today.

[deiscanton]

After 5 games--

Emory and Wash U co-lead the UAA at 5-0

Rochester in third at 4-1

Chicago in fourth at 3-2

Case in fifth at 2-3

NYU in sixth at 1-4

Brandeis and Carnegie Mellon at 0-5 and need to win out to finish above .500

It looks like any hopes for Carnegie Mellon men to be eligible for ECACs is over, as the Tartans are now 4-12 overall.

NYU needs 4 more wins to finish at least .500 and become eligible for ECAC selection.

Big 2 weekends for fans of those 3 teams as well as for neutral fans.

We start the 2 back to back weekends in the UAA this weekend.

Wash U plays at Rochester this Friday and hosts Rochester the following Friday.

Wash U plays at Emory this upcoming Sunday, and then hosts Emory the following Sunday.

Once again, I will be at Auerbach Arena this weekend for the Case/Carnegie Mellon pairing.  This upcoming Sunday is Basketball Alumni/Family Day, when I get some goodies as a Brandeis alum, and get invited to a gathering in the Napoli Trophy Room to cheer on the Deis men's and women's teams against Carnegie Mellon.

Romin Williams, Emory - 31 points, 3 reb, 2 ast, 5-8 from 3
