UAA refs are so biased for the hometeam...except for in NYC where they are just terrible in general.

[NYCHOOPER]

When a team consistently loses in the last 2 minutes of a game something must be done.

It's unacceptable. I've seen it year after year after year.

Brandeis defeats NYU 61-59.

[NYCHOOPER]

Brandeis defeats NYU 61-59.

Judges were down 1 with 2.1 seconds left and won on a curling fadeaway 3. Heartbreaker for NYU who were in control till the last two or three minutes.

[WUPHF]

The Bears are facing a possible heartbreaker as well, though Chicago has been able to keep the upper hand since taking the lead in the second.

76-74 with 19 seconds left.

[WUPHF]

Chicago takes down Washington University 79-77.  The Bears led by as many as 12 in the first half but a run late in the second and great second half defense made all the difference.

Matt Johnson was the offensive star today with 25 points, Matt McKenzie with 15 points for the Maroons.

Spencer Gay had a phenomenal first half, finishing with 21 for the game, but he did not get the looks in the second that he did in the first.  The men follow the lead of the women, getting outdone at the charity stripe with both teams losing by two.

In other news, Rochester smokes Emory 81-65 while Carnegie Mellon leads Case Western at the half.

That one certainly will hit D3hoops buzzerbeaters... that wasn't even a shot, but rather a running half hook, half shotput !!!!!   thanks for sharing....

[WUPHF]

New York University is finally rewarded for the 10 wins and joins Brandeis in the Top 25.  Cold comfort for the heart breaker, for sure, but nice to have two schools in the rankings again. 

I am looking forward to the Friday-Sunday schedule which starts this weekend with Washington University and Chicago playing host to Emory and Rochester.  NYU and Brandeis have Carnegie Mellon and Case Western Reserve.

New York University smokes Hunter, 85-59 while Brandeis overcomes an off night offensively with a 53-50 down to the wire win over Hunter on the road.

Actually,  Brandeis was at Bates last night, WUH.   (I knew you meant to say Bates, but miswrote Hunter instead, so I won't rib you too hard.  )

Brandeis is now off to the best start in school history at 11-0, (this surpasses the previous record start of 10-0 set by the 1956-57 Brandeis squad) while NYU's Richie Polan became the 26th Violet to join NYU's 1,000 Point Club last night.    Congrats on both accomplishments.

Here is a news article on Brandeis's historic start that appeared in the Waltham (MA) News Tribune hours before Brandeis took on Bates yesterday.

Comments from NYU coach Joe Nesci are included in the NYU post-game report vs Hunter which can be found here.

Thanks for the correction.  I am prone to mistakes when I type on my desktop.  I am even worse on my Palm.

I am getting excited for the game tonight as Washington University travels three miles south to Webster University.  I can walk to the Webster gym from my house, but I will not do that tonight as the temperature drops to 15 degrees (-20 wind chill).

Webster 61, Wash U 58 Final

Wash U videocasted this road game from Grant Gymnasium on the Webster campus-- approx 5 miles from the Wash U campus.

The Gorloks deserved the victory-- it is just their second victory ever in the series.

Key stat from tonight:

Webster hit 9 of 21 from 3 pt land (42%)

Wash U hit 1 of 16 from 3 pt range-- Wash U did not score a trey in the first 34 min of the game-- Caleb Knepper of the Bears finally hit one with under 6 min remaining in the game.  

According to Jay Murry's call of the game-- Webster started with man to man defense and Wash U jumped to a 12 pt lead.   Webster then went to zone defenses and Wash U could not solve them.

The game ended up tied at the half at 21 a piece, and Webster took the lead in the second half and held on for the win.

Wash U suffers their 6th straight road loss this year.

That pretty well sums it up. Nice job.
