[Dolgevillefootballfan]

12/21 recap

I'll curse out BYU in football later on, but for now here are the results from a pretty exciting Friday:

LSU over Furman 75-57 (Aw... Furman's happy run is over. At least for now...)
Marquette over Buffalo 103-85 (Great job, Marquette! Now Syracuse fans are feeling even WORSE about their loss to the Bulls.)
Bryant over Dartmouth 68-67
Binghamton over LIU-Brooklyn 68-67
Kent State over Oregon State 66-63 (Kent State's not a bad team, so there's no "Whoopsie" here for Oregon State)
Butler over UC-Irvine 71-54
Louisville over Robert Morris 73-59 (The Cardinals trailed at halftime here?! Maybe they were too busy watching the new "Ridiculousness".)
Baylor over Oregon 57-47
Charleston over Coastal Carolina 73-71
La Salle over Alabama A&M 80-57 (Well... both La Salle and A&M were winless entering this contest, so I guess something had to give.)
Providence over Texas 71-65
Oklahoma over Northwestern 76-69 in OT
Alabama over Penn State 73-64
UT-Arlington over Cal Poly 75-70 in OT

Hmm... There wasn't much in ways of quantity in the Top 25. Oh well, let's see life outside of the AP Poll:

Diamond Head Classic:
Indiana State upsets Colorado 72-67
UNLV over Hawaii 73-59; will meet Indiana State in semis

Montana over South Dakota State 85-74 (The longest active home-court winning streak [26] is now over.)

That's right, folks. Little Loyola-Marymount just suffered a "Whoopsie" loss that'll hurt their NCAA chances this season. What has this world come to?

Indiana State over UNLV 84-79
TCU over Bucknell 82-65
​

Other games:

Hawaii over Colorado 70-62 in OT (Whoopsie)

 

[Dolgevillefootballfan]

December 26th, 27th, and 28th

Louisville couldn't even win this game when they were cheating and getting away with it.

You think they have a chance now?
