There have been no palindromic scores in 54 games completed so far today. There have been 23 palindromic scores in 2,375 games this season. This is the fifth day in a row without a palindromic score.

I believe the game ended after you did the summary (hence your "completed so far") but you missed a chance for witty remarks about one of the great mascots.
An additional score:
UCDavis Aggies beat UCIrvine Anteaters 76 to 67

It did end after the report, but it's an important score that I need to include in the totals, and not just for the nickname!

So, revised totals:

Today:

B1G: 0-0
Other RU opponents: 5-1

Year to date:

B1G: 129-46
Other RU opponents: 118-58


There was one palindromic score in 62 games on Thursday. There have been 24 palindromic scores in 2,383 games this season.

BeKnighted were you referring to the Missouri game as the "interesting upset?"

A caveat: Missouri played without their best player and All American candidate Sophie Cunningham (having never seen them play, I would think a fair comparison would be she's their Scaife). She's day-to-day with a sprained knee.

 

[BeKnighted]

Yes. Partly it was Missouri losing, but partly it was that LSU seems to be on an upswing - this was their 8th win in a row. They get Mississippi State next, so that will be a big test.
