GTPlanet, this will be the second week of 2006. After this week, it will be January 15th... my 23rd Birthday. Before my 23rd, time to cover basketball while I'm still 22. Saturday was insane, wasn't it? Many highly-ranked teams falling. That is, all the teams who played. So here you go.
LAST WEEK:
* Upset Saturday! Iowa got Illinois, Miami got Maryland, Kansas embarassed Kentucky, not to mention a few upsets on the women's side. And oh yes, Washington losing to Washington State (disappointing). Washington's only two losses came aginst Pac-10 opponents. * Coppin State finally wins a game! They defeated the Bethune-Cookman Wildcats. * Oakland gets win #6, taking down Chicago State. * Around my way, Rice won a game a few nights ago against Princeton. The Houston Cougars downed the best Independent team in D1, the Texas A&M-Corpus Christi Islanders. * Coming into this week, four unbeatens remain- Duke, Villanova, Pittsburgh, and Florida. I don't want to give anything way, but here's a hint about today's Sunday Sampler. You see the four unbeatens? Well, one of them fell, and it will be reflected in the Sampler. I hate this song to death, but are you ready for your first games of this week? Then bring 'em out, and let's do another week!
SUNDAY SAMPLER, MEN
* West Virginia at Villanova (91-87; West Virginia) *Upset!*
* #7 Michigan State at #24 Wisconsin (82-63; WISCONSIN) *Upset!*
* UMBC at Vermont (68-59; VERMONT)
* Marist at Loyola College (78-75; LOYOLA COLLEGE)
* #1 Duke at Wake Forest (82-64; Duke)
* #11 Boston College at Georgia Tech (60-58; GEORGIA TECH)
SUNDAY SAMPLER, WOMEN
* #2 Duke at #6 Maryland (86-68; Duke)
* #19 Boston College at #25 Virginia Tech (67-62; VIRGINIA TECH) *Upset!*
* UCF at Rice (66-52; RICE)
* Southern Mississippi at Houston (92-58; HOUSTON)
* #20 Vanderbilt at Arkansas (52-51, OT; ARKANSAS)
Kind of interesting what in-conference play can do to you, eh? In addition to these scores, I would like to personally congratulate coach Tom Shirley. Back on January 5th, 2006, Coach Tom Shirley was responsible for acheiving win #500 as head coach for the Philadelphia. The Lady Rams defeated Felician College 90-81 on the road. If you follow the Philadelphia Rams Women's Team, their next five games are conference matches against Caldwell College 1/10/2006, New Jersey Institute of Technology 1/12/2006, at Nyack College 1/14/2006, Holy Family University 1/17/2006, and at Georgian Court University 1/19/2006. They are all games in the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference.
Again, a rather late congratulations to the Philadelphia Lady Rams head coach, Tom Shirley.
