Congrats to jaybird44 who was recognized tonight for his 500th Wash U broadcast. Question: Was that basketball only or all sports?

Congrats to jaybird44 who was recognized tonight for his 500th Wash U broadcast. Question: Was that basketball only or all sports?

I believe that it is for all Wash U sports.  Jaybird44 does a lot for the Wash U Sports Network.

Finals from the Midwest--

Chicago 80, NYU 70.  A bit of a fracas in the second half, but the players involved made up afterwards.

Wash U 84, Brandeis 56.

Home teams went 4-0 on the men's side, and 3-1 on the women's side for Matchday 2 in the UAA.

 All of the home teams won on Friday, with Carnegie Mellon coming the closest to pulling off a road victory.

Matchday 3-- our first Sunday of UAA play.  Sunday play in this league historically determines the outcome of UAA title races every season.  Let's see how this season will shape up.

We enter Sunday play with Wash U and Emory co-leading the UAA race at 2-0 in league play.  Brandeis and Carnegie Mellon are 0-2, while the other 4 teams have a win in UAA play.

Home teams leading at halftime in the early games:

Chicago 39, Brandeis 34
Emory 43, Case 25
Rochester 35, Carnegie Mellon 20

I watched the first half of Brandeis at Chicago and the final minute of the first half of the Emory game.

Looks like my flyer on Case will not pan out this weekend...

Wash U v NYU at the top of the hour.

[deiscanton]

Forgot to post this earlier, but Collin Barthel of Chicago is not playing today due to a reason officially not disclosed by the Chicago webcasting commentators.  Hopefully it is just illness or an injury minor enough to not keep him from playing next weekend.

Ryan Jacobsen of Chicago also not playing today for undisclosed reasons.

[deiscanton]

Chicago on its way to sweeping the weekend as Latye Workman of Brandeis fouled out on an offensive charge with 3:44 left in regulation.

[deiscanton]

Riley056's wish was granted with Chicago picking up 2 wins and staying 1 game behind of the leaders in the UAA race.  Emory now 3-0 in the UAA with Wash U just a half away from joining them...

Finals

Chicago 77, Brandeis 67
Emory 93, Case 57
Rochester 68, Carnegie Mellon 56

Halftime

Wash U 61, NYU 47

[deiscanton]

Wash U 10 min away from 3-0 in the UAA as they lead NYU, 88-60

It looks like home teams will sweep the weekend on the men's side.

Wash U 113, NYU 75

Wash U and Emory co-lead the UAA at 3-0 after 2 weeks of play.
