Top ranked MIT loses to #27 Rhode Island College 68-44 in a game that was never close.

John Gleich

#9 UWSP beats UW Superior 79-68

UW Super shot 57% in the first half and led by 3 at the half 37-34 and as many as 7 in the first half.

The Yellowjackets stayed hot in the second half and led 48-40 with just under 16 minutes left.

Point then went on a 9-0 run to take the lead 49-48. It was back and forth for a few possessions but SP retook the lead for good 53-51 on two Clayton Heuer FT's.

Point really turned up the D in the second half and they hit their free throws (24/25 for the game).

#16 Wooster 60
ORV #30 Wittenberg 41

Wooster stakes an early claim to supremacy in the NCAC with a road win at arch-rival Wittenberg. After Wittenberg opened the scoring with a basket, the Scots scored the next 9 and established a lead that they wouldn't relinquish. Wittenberg simply never found an offensive rhythm all night, shooting a terrible 29% from the floor for the contest. Credit strong Wooster defense, but Witt also missed a number of open looks. Meanwhile the Scots put together a balanced scoring effort with 10 scorers in the book. Wooster opened the second half with a bucket to push the lead to 16 at 32-16 and Wittenberg never got it back below 14 the rest of the way.

One stat that jumps out was Wooster's commanding rebounding advantage - not many Woo-Witt games where the Scots enjoy a +16 advantage on the glass (41-25).

Brandeis' only loss was to RIC  by 2 points in their opener. Looking better every game since.

Thanks again, Daryl  +k

I'm guessing that Hope, Cabrini, and Williams drop out (Cabrini's loss was on the road by one point to a higher ranked team - no disgrace! - but they had been grossly overranked in the preseason due to missing a player no one expected them to be without, so less margin of error); replacements will be RIC (duh!), Augustana, and Wheaton (the teams above them either lost or had less impressive wins).  I'm curious how much my Titans will be punished for TWO losses (both opponents in the top ten, and neither loss by any means a blowout) - I'll guess they only fall to 12 or 13.

With the poll always being quite fluid this early in the season, it is also possible that still-undefeated Stevens may jump all the way from 7 points to #24 or 25 on the basis of their win at #24 Williams.

Tough 3-day span for Tufts, possibly one of the most difficult trips in D3 this year? They played two (former) Top 7 teams on the road, about 1200 miles apart. Lost by 10 and 9, respectively, to MIT and IWU.

Kinda sounds like a WashUStL road trip from Rochester to Emory.

I agree about the travel, I meant with regard to the respective ranks of the teams also.  Kind of reminds of the WashU/Chicago trip back in the early 2000s when Chicago had Reich and both those squads were pretty stacked.

Oddly, I think it takes less time to go Rochester to Emory than Rochester to anywhere else in the UAA.

Rochester used to be travel partner with CMU (and Case with Emory), which is how it was when I played there, but the new arrangement makes much more sense.  Its about a 6 hour bus ride to Rochester from CMU, but just 1.5 hours or so to Case. Since Emory is going to be a flight either way, you eliminate an extre 3-4 hours of driving (which is usually in the middle of winter also).

I believe so but don't have any documentation to back that up. It's a huge drop but exacerbated by the fact that the lineup that has been taking the floor isn't the one that voters ranked No. 1.
