Thanks guys. So the Ivy League is a bunch of snobs and the SWAC is going with tradition. I get it.

I agree we're usually outgunned in the front court, but that's how Coach Les seems to like it. Pablo Tamba has been provided some front court offense, averaging 12.3 ppg. I notice how Rocak will often feint a shot, but he hardly ever takes a shot from more than 5 feet from the hoop. Chappell has potential, but you can't expect a lot fro a freshman. I think a major problem is the lack of ball movement, as the Ags are averaging less than 10 assists per game.

I thought FCS conference champions got an automatic berth. Why weren't Harvard and Jackson State in the playoffs?

I'd think Mercer v. Rhode Island would be a tighter game, but I'm only going by the seedings 7/10.

I don't mind at all if you want to take this over for all the conference games.

Games of Nov. 30:

Idaho (3-5) 80, UC Riverside (away, 4-4) 68
CSUN (away, 6-2) 72, Montana State (3-5) 69, OT
UC San Diego (home (6-2) 109, La Verne (1-5) 33 (The score was 50-8 at the half!)
Cal Poly (away, 5-4) 97, Stanford (away, 6-2) 90 (Mustangs scored 63 in the second half. Look out Ags,
you play Cal Poly next week.)
Southern Utah (7-2,) 74, CSU Bakersfield (away, 4-4) 64
Pacific (5-4) 64, CSU Fullerton (away, 4-5) 55
UC Irvine (neutral, 8-0) 67, Towson State (4-5) 60 (End of Western Slam Tournament. Anteaters get the
trophy.)

Even worse than expected and I expected the worst. Bring on the Big West and hope the last three games provided some lessons on how not to lose.

I'm done. Dinnertime here anyway.

Since the first 5 minutes or so, the Aggies have hung with the Beavers pretty well. Down 13 at the half after being down 10 with 15v minutes to go. The 3 point shooting has kept them in the game, but for the third consecutive game, TY is not playing very well on offense; he's in some kind of slump.

OSU's size is also showing in their 10-3 rebounding edge.

I think that's true for football only. WCC has no football.

In 1993, the Grizzlies scored 39 points in the 4th quarter to beat South Dakota State 52-48.

You think Montana can score? :)

Zero! Hope that changes next week.

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.

ESPN has Beavers favored by 11.5

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.

I wonder what the spread will be.

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?

No, it tastes oystery. Is the Tower Cafe near the old Tower Theater across form the original Tower Records?
