And all this from Sagarin's #42 ranked team. Go figure.

Not sure who let the dogs out but can we spring for a cheerleading scholly for the lead dancer in red?

Good post.

KC bounces back to defeat North Dakota 77-53. Indiana State loses again to Mo. State 70-66. Need Minn. to keep it going vs. Ohio State.

From the broadcast, Fordham's players were confined to their rooms a total of 46 days, could leave only to pick up pre-packaged meals. Fitness consisted of pushups, situps, and whatever could be figured out to do in their rooms. There's a reason why they were picked 14th in the league as their talent level is low, but if all that covid-related inactivity is accurate, they've had no chance to improve.

They'll need to. Despite what you may have heard, the A-10 is loaded this year.

Bonnies win.

Lofton hits the three with 2.8 to go. Bonnies up 69-66. Not bad for an 11% 3 pt. shooter.

Richmond's offense is so much fun to watch. Why don't more teams run it? Golden to shoot two with :15 to go and makes one, tied at 66, Bonnies ball.

66-65 Bonnies, :58 to go, Bonnies ball. Turnover Lofton, the fix had to be in to call that traveling.

Bonnies in a dogfight with Richmond, up 62-58 with 5 to play. Lofton with 4 fouls.

Crutcher is so clutch, Amzil is very good, Mason went cold at the end, and Paulsen got T'd up twice and ejected. Lot of questionable calls went against Mason. Dayton holds on.

58-53 Mason at the under 8. Josh Greene now lighting it up for Mason. Mason playing diamond and one and triangle and two, trying to take Crutcher and Watson out of it. Working so far.

28-9 Mason run has them ahead of Dayton 42-41 at the under 16. Freshman lefty Tyler Kolek is lighting the Flyers up. He's gonna be a pest on the level of a Dunn-Martin.

Duq hangs on 75-63. GW 12-26 from the stripe. Look out for Duq’s freshman 6’7 Toby Okani who is on track to terrorize the A-10.

Duq doesn’t look like they’ve lost a step from the stoppage. Very solid team. GW hanging in but looks like they’ll come up short, down 67-57 at the under 4.

33-29 Duq at the half. GW misses 8 FTs, including a front end.

Duq up on GW 26-23 at the under 4. GW 2-8 from the stripe, Duq has played 11 players, GW upping their game with 6’10 S. Miss. transfer Hunter Dean. Nice looking big.

LaSalle scores with :03 to go to take a 67-65 lead over Dayton... and down go the Flyers!!

Blake Francis hits a dagger three with :01 on the shotclock to extend the lead to 78-72 with :27 to go. Spiders win 80-74. Mason comes back in double OT to beat UMass 93-92.

Davidson rallies back and is up 61-59 with nine to go.

Richmond up on Davidson 55-51 at the under 16. These teams are good, short benches, but the guys who play can definitely play.

Evansville’s shooting numbers vs. SIUC: 55/59/88. 17-29 3pt’ers. A Majerus shooting total of 202. Not too shabby.

On Sagarin, we're on a steady downward trend since Sunday. Started Sunday at 22, fell to 31 Monday, 33 Wednesday, and 35 today after a win. All that and no losses by teams we've beaten. I realize it doesn't mean much but still surprising. Also, here's a little something which may brighten your Christmas Eve just a bit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pg7HvF3a_Iw
