Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Thursday, February 23, 2006

There were no upsets in top 25 play last night. No one even came close, unless you count Texas A&M's solid win over Texas in College Station. Atunrase scored 27. (Last year that result would have been a huge upset-- not now.)

Outside the top 25, Stony Brook upset Hartford, handing the Hawks their first loss in America East play.

At least one method for up-to-date RPI gives the Seawolves an astonishing RPI of 20 and a strength of schedule way up there at seven. But with losses to Brown, Maryland-Baltimore County, and Boston U. (not Boston College), the Seawolves won't be seeing an at-large bid, even if they did beat Temple.

Hartford, on the other hand, might land an at-large bid, but they likely won't need one: the America East tourney, for the fifth straight year, gives the Hawks home court in every game.
