So you have the best team in the worst conference (Tex Sou....C-) beating the worst team in the best conference (K-St...B-)......

C- beats B-...not a major upset ...not as good as the Mich St (A) win (a true upset) but still a very nice win. Tex Sou will probably move up to C tomorrow..

How about Washington spitting a 15 point lead at home and losing to Stoneybrook!

Stony Brook ( B- ) is the class of the America East conference and will probably be the team that will keep Vermont from winning the title. Washington is a good team ( A- ) but overated at 13th ( I didn't have them rated even as a Top 25 team) ....So we have a B- team beating an A- team ....a good win ...maybe I would call this game and the Tex Sou/KSU games minor upsets because they both won away.

So you've got one of the losingest all-time teams in Maryland-Eastern Shore with three wins over A-10 teams this year, Fordham, St.Bona, and Duquesne. What's your rating for UMES at this point, and are any of the other three above F level?

Heartbreaking loss for Richmond against Wake. Lost on an airball that was put back in at the buzzer.

Not only that but Richmond was up 4 with 40.1 and Wake hits a three at 32 to cut it to one. Richmond scores on a breakaway dunk off the inbounds to go up three, but Wake has a 15% three point shooter fire up a top of the key of the triple and he banks it in for the tie.

Richmond misses a runner in the lane and Wake rebounds. The same player who made the banked three, fires up an off balance shot that's not going to go in and their big just follows the flight and guides it right over the rim for the win. The ball left his fingertips at .2. Crazy finish.

It's a good thing the Bills didn't schedule UMES....bad combo....a team with bad grades...if you beat them ...little or no effect...if you lose ...devastating.

UMES rated D plays in the second worst conference (2nd only to Tex Sou's ...Southwestern conf) UMES is not going anywhere this year. NC Cent ( B- ) will win their conf (they have already beaten UMES)

So let's look at the UMES scoreboard results

Ford ( D- ) @ Ford loses by 6

St. B (B- ) @ St B loses by 2

Duq (D) @ Duq loses by 9

And let's not forget

NCAT ( F- ) @ UMES loses by 11 ( compared to our 3 pt win over NCAT)

Bottomline...their only good win was St. B and as I said above...glad we didn't play them.

Lol at the end of the Mizzou game. With 10 seconds left, Oklahoma St is up by 2 and has to inbound the ball, only to throw it away. Mizzery then proceeds to throw the ball right back to Oklahoma St.

Ok st just choked it away. Up 3 after a made ft Travis ford calls a timeout to ice his own ft shooter and then after he predictably misses none of the players decide to guard the 3 point line as time expires.

Still a hilarious ending. Mi$$ery gets the offensive rebound on an intentionally missed free throw and the guy completely misses a routine layup that could have tied it.

Mizzou was a missed layup away from tying the game not once but twice when down 3 with less than 7 seconds left. This time ok state fouled with 3 secs to go. After mizzou made they first, they missed the second, got the rebound, passed to a pf for a wide open layup and he missed it.

Crazy game.

Porter has himself a nice team at Loyola. Late comeback for the win @Evansville tonight. They look like an NIT team right now with a chance to push to bubble with a strong MVC showing.

Porter gettin' it done for the Ramblers.

Any chance that SLU brings him back as a HC once Crews retires? (Which will most likely be after his 5 year contract ends)

If he keeps improving Loyola he gets put on the short list. Why will Crews retire though after FBJT takes us to the national championship. Crews will coach till he's 75.

I certainly hope we are kidding about Porter. He was 32-61 going into this season. For all the pissing and moaning about our program this year, people want him to even be considered? Porter is one heck of a guy, but if we want to be Xavier or Gonzaga we have to shoot higher than that. I understand Loyola is not SLU, but I can only imagine how our fans would react if we went three straight seasons with horrible losing seasons.
