There have been no palindromic scores in 59 games completed so far today. That makes 27 palindromic scores in 3,278 games this year. It's been one day since the last palindromic score.
 
Just a few comments:

Minnesota played overtime on a Thursday night, must travel to NJ, think they may develop tired legs for Sunday?

Amanda Zahui B was perfect from the field, 16-16 I believe, and one player had double digit assists. I can picture successful feeds to the post. Rachel, please limit your fouls on Sunday!!!

Florida State has been hot. I keep checking the box scores and while they played over ten, I don't see Shakeena's name. What's up with that?

I was hoping for a Mississippi State loss. It seems that, with the exception of Minnesota, that teams near us in the polls have been barely avoiding upsets.

The foul disparity at Georgia...that explains it.
