There were no palindromic scores in 112 games today. That makes a total of 25 palindromic scores in 4,088 games so far this season. It's been six excruciating days since the last palindromic score.

I can't imagine watching a game like UT - Arlington and La Monroe. I really, really try not to be a snob - and I appreciate good defense - but, a point a minute wins it? Blah.

On a completely different topic - but related to teams that couldn't score (last year) - I noticed that UCSB is having a much better season than last year. Not world-beating, but . . .

Sorry - ESPN reported that score as a final when I looked.
