    So far it looks like Richmond and New Hampshire are the only seeded teams to be upset. New Hampshire losing to UT Martin was not much of an upset because the polls had the Skyhawks ranked higher than the Wildcats. UT Martin now has the pleasure of playing in Bobcat Stadium. Unranked Lehigh beating Richmond, now that was a big upset.

    Hard to believe that little record store on Broadway became a huge chain all along the west coast. Too bad online music killed it off.
  • Rd.2 PLAYOFFS Week 15: UC Davis vs. Illinois State
    No boxscore or gamecast on ESPN but it sounds like a crazy game based on the comments here. Seems like neither team has a very good defense?

    UC Irvine is in a four team tournament in Lethbridge, Alberta called the Western Slam. Each team plays all of the other teams across three days, something I'd not heard of before.

    Likely no one on the east coast cares about Montana. Or Tennessee State for that matter.

    Hawai`i barely got by their division 2 neighbor, a bit like our problems with Menlo.

    Yes, Scott Marsh mentioned that the regular guy was ill.

    It's important to give Norfolk State some credit. Their coach is outstanding and his game plan was perfect, not that the Ags poor play didn't help. The players have to be in great condition to have gone through a long road trip and to have had enough energy to play well through the entire game in front of a hostile (thought not very large) crowd.

    I don't disagree that the Spartans took TY out of his game, but the whole team contributed to the prat fall that was tonight with 17 turnovers in addition to TY's 6. NSU had twice as many assists. Sevilla was the only one who had a good night. But getting back to TY, Bob Williams made the excellent point that, with Eli Pepper gone, the burden of leadership falls on TY. I don't know that anyone on the team or the coaching staff pushes that role, but tonight's performance suggests that he feels it and presses too hard. A key to the season is whether he can grow into that role or have the team take some of the load off of him, something a grad student like Rocak could do.

    Norfolk State straightened it out and embarrassed UC Davis. Or maybe the Ags embarrassed themselves. Clearly, the Grand Canyon game wasn't a turning point for this team. I'm inclined to chalk it off as a bad night. What else can one say when their second half resulted in as many turnovers as the first half. Troubling too that they only hit 69% of their free throws. Not going to get any easier as they travel to Corvallis after Thanksgiving.

    18 turnovers. The Ags playing like my old intramural team that went 0-6!
