Simpson smoked Crown by 31.

See, now this is an example of a game in which I think I let everybody down by including it among the ten games of the week. It looked good on paper, but everybody in the contest went with the Storm, and it ended up being a rout in favor of the Storm.

Well, here's one of your gems that half the players went for Hamline and half the players went for Concordia-Moorhead(just what you're hoping for). Final result Concordia-Moorhead 74 Hamline 61. Close game for about 30 minutes and the teams were tied at 46 with 12:49 left to play when CM went on a 14-1 run to gain control.

Howard Payne gets their 1st win of the season over Sul Ross State 73-65. Down by five, 54-49 with 8 1/2 minutes to play the Yellowjackets reverse that deficit with a 12-2 run and are never headed.

St. Lawrence, down by 16 against Ithaca College with 9:48 left to play comes all the way back to gain the lead 87-86 with 3:42 left. After 7 more lead changes the Saints miss a 3 point attempt, and turn the ball over on their next possession. Bombers hit 4 straight free throws to claim the victory 101-97. SLU had 5 guys in double figures led by Ralph Temgoura with 24 and Garrett Sharlow with 18. Both Josh Sharlow and Nick Meunier had 15, while Terry Parham added 10. Saints fall to 2-5 and travel to Elmira for a 3 PM Saturday afternoon matchup.

Skidmore travels to Trinity (Conn.) and comes away with an 82-79 road win to move to 7-1 on the season. The Thoroughbreds took the lead 3-2 on a 3 pointer by John Douglas and were never headed, stretching their advantage to 36-10 with 6:41 left in the 1st half. Trinity down by 20 at the break and still down by 23 with 10:05 remaining nearly came all the way back and missed a 3 pointer at the buzzer that would have forced overtime. Skidmore placed 5 players in double figures led by Terron Victoria with 15, Jeff Altimar with 14, and Douglas with 14. Raoul Oloa and Sakhile Sithole both added 10 pts.
Skidmore is now off until Jan. 3rd when they travel to Vermont to take on the Castleton State Spartans.

I ignored Greg's attempt to steer us all wrong, but was suckered by Central's 6-0 start. :P  But he couldn't get me on the Bible showdown - I believe it was a passage in Revelations that let me know Lancaster would win by 23. ;D  I guess I can live with a 4-1 start this week (though it sure looked 5-0 for a while - Central was up by 11).

He coulda got me with UWW/UWSP - I would have taken UWSP in that OT thriller.  While I agree that the CCIW and WIAC probably get overrepresented, and certainly don't want to stifle anyone's creativity, could we make an informal 'norm' that games between closely ranked ranked teams (especially if the lower-ranked team is at home) are a virtual given?  I've got no problem with omitting #8 Wheaton @ #1 WashU (even if it ended up a 2-point game) or #15 Augie @ #1 WashU - there probably would have been little or no diversity.  But #4 UWSP @ #5 UWW?! :o

I had the same 5 that you did and after Central came from 7 down to take a 4 pt lead with 7:31 to play I thought 5-0 was a distinct possibility. You and I were the only 2 that would have been 5-0. Unfortunately, hopefan and scout were on the flip side of the BV-Central game and they are the only ones at 5-0. hopefan is temporarily in 1st place all by himself.

Dang!  I wish UMPI had saved some of those opponent's points for a game they might win! :D

[I'm not really as ghoulish as I sound. :P  My dad grew up in Maine, my parents met at the U of Maine, I've been there at least 25 summers of my life.  That's WHY UMPI (besides the irresistible acronym ;)) is my favorite sad-sack team.  I really do wish them well - just not before everyone else in the pool has a win! ;D)

Well the latest you'll be alive is Jan. 23rd. That's the day Paul Smith's comes to town and makes your team a winner....that will make you a loser.

Not if nobody can ever find a score - this IS UMPI we're discussing! ;D

Don't worry Chuck I'll be sure and find that score even if I have to call up Paul Smith's coach to get it. ;D ;)

Buena Vista down 60-59 with 4:56 remaining reels off 10 straight points to take control and go on to victory over Central  77-68. Freshmen Troy Tickner with 17 and Wes Nordquist with 16 lead the Beavers.

Greg, apparently Coach Van Haaften is reloading and it looks like you knew that and kept it a secret as evidenced by this earlier post of yours:

Posted by GS on the CCIW board yesterday at 5:16:
Byoo-nuh Vista lost its top five scorers and top six rebounders from last season's team. Only five lettermen returned this year for the Beavers. This season is the ultimate test as to whether or not Brian Van Haaften rebuilds or reloads his program.
