-Stanford got a battle from Cal State Northridge and trailed for much of the game, but finally got control in the lats couple of minutes and held on for the 88-80 win.
–Winthrop @ Texas Tech – it’s a buy game, and given Texas Tech’s most recent win against Duke it’s one they should win easily, but Winthrop is one of the better teams in the Big South and we’ve seen them play well in some of their previous road buy games so Texas Tech better not completely overlook them.
-Northern Colorado @ Colorado (Front Range) – We at Hoops HD Love the Front Range!!! Northern Colorado is a good team who is coming off a rather surprising loss to Denver. Colorado is having a much better year than expected, so the storyline to this one is kind of fun.
-Columbia @ North Florida – This is a winnable road game for Columbia that would get them to 10 -3 on the year
-Santa Clara @ Oregon State (West Coast) – I still think this Santa Clara team has a high ceiling, but they are definitely running out of strikes and can’t afford to lose this one or any others like it
-Saint Mary’s @ LMU (West Coast) – this is a tough road test for SMC, but it’s one they should be able to win if they are a tournament-caliber team
-Gonzaga @ Pepperdine (West Coast) – if the Zags hold serve the rest of the way they should cruise to a protected seed
-UL Monroe @ Kansas State
-Cal State Fullerton @ SMU
-Principia (nonD1) @ Saint Louis
-Charleston Southern @ Richmond
-Pennsylvania @ George Mason
-Stanton (nonD1) @ UC San Diego
