I might have to stop voting for Green Bay in the fan poll: teams with great W-L records who dominate less powerful conferences-- such as Wisconsin-Green Bay, Middle Tennessee and Bowling Green-- tell you how they're likely to do in March not by whether they beat their conference opponents, but by how decisively they beat them.

UWGB remain unbeaten in the Horizon League, but last night they nearly lost to sub-.500 Cleveland State. Green Bay's Soulis and Porath scored 17 each; Soulis blocked a shot that would have tied it.

Coach Borseth on his team's narrow escape: "We had great looks, but just couldn't make them. Momentum was a lot in this game - they made a bunch of baskets in a row and we missed."

As for Middle Tennessee, they've now won twenty games in a row, most of the Sun Belt games by enormous margins. Thursday, though, they beat FIU, in Tennessee, by just seven; WNBA prospect Givens ended up with 17 and 9.

Bowling Green, on the other hand, continue to flatten their conference opponents: last night they nearly doubled up Buffalo to clinch a share of the MAC title. Guard Megan Thorburn led everyone with 22, including six three-pointers.
