CLICK HERE for our first BRACKET RUNDOWN of the season!!
-Loyola Chicago picked up a really nice win against San Francisco out in Salt Lake City in a game that was scheduled because both teams had games that had been cancelled and both wanted a quality opponent. That game should (and will) help Loyola’s resume.
-Indiana had nothing on their resume to speak of prior to yesterday, but their win over Ohio State is something to sit up and take notice of. The Hoosiers were in control for pretty much the entire second half and ended up with an impressive 67-51 win.
-UAB picked up a nice road win at North Texas. This is a really good UAB team, and while North Texas probably isn’t a tournament caliber team, they’re still a team that’s very tough to beat on the road, so the Blazers should get some credit for this one.
-In Under the Radar news, Wagner needed overtime to get past Bryant, and actually had to come back to get it to overtime, but held on to win 84-81.
-MARQUETTE AT GEORGETOWN (Big East). Marquette has a pretty solid resume, but it could use some stabilizing, and winning conference games on the road tends to do the trick. This is one they should be able to pick up.
-KENT STATE AT OHIO U (MAC). We will keep saying this for every Ohio U game. If they can blow through their conference, they should at least be on the board come Selection Sunday.
-XAVIER AT BUTLER (Big East). This should be a winnable road game for Xavier. They have a pretty good resume overall, but to date they have just one true road win and they’re going to want to add to that.
