Okay, I'm not saying I'm prescient, but it is nice when teams read the blog and then go out and make my point.
Yesterday, currently unranked DePaul snapped #11 West Virginia's 9-game winning streak. 14 three-pointers and Deirdre Naughton's 24 points and 15 rebounds earned the Blue Demons an 81-80 victory.
St. Bonaventure earned its first victory over a ranked team in school history. Their 44-24 halftime lead over #13 George Washington held, and they went home with a 63-60 win.
How much of a surprise is this? Well, consider that before last season's 16-15 finish they've not had a winning season since 1997-98. Said Bonnies coach Jim Crowley,

"I think there's going some wide eyes. I'm not going to lie, I thought of people seeing the bottom line at halftime and figuring it was a misprint."Seems like other unranked teams didn't get a chance to read the blog (let this be a lesson to them). Rutgers won, as did Stanford (Wiggins is 50 points away from breaking Lisa Leslie's conference scoring record of 2,414.), California, Utah (16-straight), Notre Dame and Wyoming.
