There have been no palindromic scores in 12 games completed so far today. That makes 5 palindromic scores in 645 games so far this year. This is the 6th day in a row without a palindromic score.

UVa is undefeated at 5-0 but isn't getting very many votes in the polls. I'm wondering how good that Green Bay team is, both because we have to play them tomorrow but also because I'm curious to know just how good a win that was for UVa yesterday.

It will be RU vs. UVa twice today, both on the women's side. It would be nice to go 2-0 against them today, putting the women's soccer team into the Final Four and giving the women's bball team a solid OOC victory. And UVa is a potential future conference rival for RU once conference realignment starts again.

You're right, it's hard to tell whether the Cavs are good or not. They haven't beaten anybody of note, unless Green Bay turns out to be good.

Well, now we know that the RU women are better than UVa in basketball as well as in soccer. We'll find out about Green Bay (which I assume is UW-Green Bay) tomorrow. Go RU!
