Grand Canyon- St Louis incredible finish! 
Lopes pull it off.

[johnsoniu]

Lopes down 1 with 5 seconds inbounding under St Loo basket. Go for a lob on the inbound, intended target gets fouled. He misses front end of one and one but gets the rebound on a tip out and hits a turnaround J on the baseline with 0.3 left. Great game, 2 really solid mid majors

I’ll have to break out my WAR top 25 over the holidays.

I’ll have to break out my WAR top 25 over the holidays.

And I will throw in my computer rankings, as I have done here the past few years.  Just to re-introduce, these are a 50-50 split of score-based and result-based ratings.  They tie pretty close to the old-version Sagarin ratings that combined predictive (score-based) and elo chess (result-based), which usually ended up being pretty close to tournament seedings.  Normally, the bubble for at-large teams is around 45-50 rank.  Rankings are through yesterday's games and records only include division 1 games.  Indiana comes in at #63 this week.

Game before break is always interesting.   

[Hoosier DaDa]

Fun game to watch between these two Tennessee teams

[LamarCheeks]

Seattle U. went halfway across the city -- and is taking Washington to the woodshed. 

Up by 22 early in 2nd half. 

Wouldn't be a good look for the B1G.

[Uspshoosier]

Hawaii gave up a 15-0 run and just hit a 3 at the end of the half to only be down 2.    Nebraska up 2 at half.   

[LamarCheeks]

Seattle up 13 with about 5 minutes left.

Seattle still up 10 with 1:35 left.  Looks like a pretty embarrassing loss for Washington.

The Huskies did get news that French player Dominique Diomande has been granted eligibility by the NCAA.  He is not currently with the team and it is yet to be seen if he will join them this year but he is a projected top 50 NBA pick.

[LamarCheeks]

Battle of Seattle goes to ... 

Seattle 79, Washington 70 

Elgin Baylor is smiling down on the Redhawks.

Am I the only one that doesn't understand the Houston?

Wins: Jackson State(0-12), Louisiana(3-10), Hofstra(8-4), Notre Dame(7-5), Butler(7-6), Troy(8-4), Toledo(6-5), Texas A&M CC(7-6)

Losses: Auburn, Alabama and San Diego State. Basically the only 3 teams they've played with anything resembling a pulse.
