NEWS AND NOTES:
-Buffalo fell at East Carolina 73-70. Buffalo had no expectations whatsoever coming into the season, but had been playing well with a 9-1 overall record going into yesterday, so it was a game we were expecting the to win.
-High Point lost again. They fell on the road to Appalachian State 86-78. And that might be the last mention we make of High Point this season other than on Under the Radar.
-The game did not impact the bubble at all, but Troy played another game that was decided by a last second shot. They knocked off UAB 86-85 in a game that seesawed back and forth. No one has played more exciting games this season than Troy!
-North Texas got a nice 58-57 road win at South Alabama, which is their first true road win of the season. North Texas has a lot of work to do, but they are looking like one of the better teams in the American (which I guess isn’t saying much).
-Boise State got a big win against Saint Mary’s 68-67 in Idaho Falls. It was one of the worst telecasts I have ever seen! But it was a big and much needed win for the Broncos.
.
GAMES (I don’t want to say these are “Highlighted):
-Niagara @ VCU – VCU needs to start stringing together wins and cannot drop any home buy games
-Wyoming vs South Dakota State (Sioux Falls SD) – this is a bit of a tough road test for a Wyoming team that may be good enough to land inside the bubble. It’s not an easy game to win, but it’s the kind of game they should be able to routinely win if they are an NCAA Tournament caliber team
-Campblesville (nonD1) @ Western Kentucky
-McNeese @ Houston Christian (Southland)
-Incarnate Word @ TCU
