A really, really busy night to kick off the season

B1G

#5 Ohio State 85 #10 Stanford 64 - 30 for Mitchell to pace the Buckeyes

#24 Michigan 75 George Mason 61 - Flaherty led the Wolverines with 29
Illinois 64 Indiana University Purdue University Fort Wayne 50 - Illini won TO battle 21-11
Iowa 83 Quinnipiac 67 - close until the 4th
Penn State 86 Siena 72 - not as close as it looks
Purdue 79 Central Michigan 69 - big 3rd quarter comeback for the Boilermakers
Northwestern 63 Chicago State 36 - first one of the year, and a good one, too


Other RU opponents

Temple 86 Delaware State 72 - not a very interesting blowout
Charlotte 75 Duquesne 72 - late 49er comeback failed
Wake Forest 73 Texas Southern 56 - Whitehead had 23 points for the Demon Deacons
#4 South Carolina 99 Alabama State 31 - no contest
St. John’s 73 St. Francis (Brooklyn) 49 - margin just kept growing the whole game
New Mexico 88 Western Michigan 76 - Lobos won on strong 1st and 4th quarters
#23 South Florida 61 LSU 55 - Jesperson had 20 and Laksa and 16 for the Bulls
California Davis 91 Washington State 71 1:37 4th - Cougars probably not so good
East Tennessee 87 Cincinnati 77 - Cincinnati probably not so good
NC State 64 Jacksonville 44 - ho hum
#7 Mississippi State 68 Virginia 53 - maybe better than you'd expect
Seton Hall 91 St. Peter's 49 - hard to tell much about the Pirates from this one
Fairleigh Dickinson 76 Rutgers Newark 40 - interesting to start with a D-III opponent
Princeton 72 George Washington 52 - hmm

4 of these teams will drop out of the list once the Gulf Coast Classic is over, but we won't know which ones they are until then.
