And the season begins with an RU win.
Big Ten
#4 Maryland 119 Wagner 56 – Terps scored only 21 in 3rd; need to work on halftime adjustments
#17 Michigan State 85 Eastern Michigan 50 – Spartans opened 2nd with 28-0 run
Missouri State 77 #23 Minnesota 69 – Big 1st quarter Lady Bear lead held up
Illinois 96 Chicago State 66 – Holesinska led the Illini with 29
Penn State 73 Towson 67 – hmm
Wisconsin 75 North Florida 62 – closer than I would have guessed
Other RU opponents
Harvard 59 Northern Illinois 53 – I drove past the NIU campus last weekend
LSU 83 New Orleans 49 – good times rolled, but only for Lady Tigers
Vanderbilt 88 Jacksonville State 66 – close at the half
Georgia Tech 69 Houston 38 – 26-1 2nd quarter
Virginia 84 Bucknell 60 – Willoughby had 31 and 11 for the Cavs
Marshall 89 Kentucky Christian 40 – KC is a non-D-I team
Other ranked teams
#2 Baylor 97 New Hampshire 29 – Kim should have called off the dogs 5 points sooner
#3 Stanford 92 Eastern Washington 27 – Tara should have let EWU score one more time
#6 Texas A&M 78 Little Rock 35 – Johnson had 24 and 13 for the Aggies
#8 South Carolina 103 Alabama State 43 – Boston marked her Gamecock debut with a triple-double
#9 Louisville 75 Western Kentucky 56 – actually not out of reach until 4th quarter
#11 UCLA 85 Weber State 45 – never close
#12 Florida State 88 Charleston Southern 36 – won’t say it was close at the half, but it got much worse after the break
#16 Notre Dame 60 Fordham 55 – at Fordham, but still surprisingly close
#20 Arizona State 87 Air Force 56 – Falcons usually one of the worst D-I teams, so actually closer than you’d expect
#21 Syracuse 66 Ohio 54 – Orange trailed at the half
Also
Marquette 70 Morgan State 48 – will be interesting to see what Golden Eagles do this year
Bryant 45 Brown 44 – if a one-point game could be dull, I bet this was the one
Mercer 74 LaGrange College 47 – Teddy Bears come through for me
Missouri 97 Western Illinois 89 OT – first OT game of the year
Arizona 74 North Dakota 42 – no contest
