So UM's loss to SJSU is still worse than NAU losing to 2 MEAC teams at home?

Yes. SJSU came into the season as one of the WORST, if not the worst D1 program in the nation…however SJSU looks somewhat competitive this year in relation to the other bottom tier D1 programs…they’ll revert back to awfulness once MWC play starts.

That was fun watching Werner block the shots. Good game though, Bobcats kept coming back after the Bison would extend the lead in the second half.

In case you're looking for the results tonight, Mvemjsunpx, the EWU-Morehead game was postponed to next season due to travel issues.

Oh, OK, thanks for telling me. ESPN isn't aware of this yet.

Wow those are bad.

BTW you have NAU v NAU in your score summary.

Fixed. The way the 'Jacks are playing, though, they probably would lose to themselves by that kind of margin.

So much for the CIT run last year springboarding them anywhere…

When you lose most of your team to graduation, not too unexpected. We started slow last year as well, and have a tougher schedule this year to boot. Only 2 Seniors on the team.

Based on my observation, I'm pretty sure NAU couldn't have beaten NAU last night.

I sat through every last painful second of game last night @ McKale Center in Tucson. U of A fans sitting nearby didn't even have the heart to talk smack. The evening's highlight was the U of A band going bonkers when the video board showed the NAU player's tooth flying through the air towards the baseline.

I hope this pays off when the horde of freshmen (all 11 of them) are in their junior/senior years. But it just feels like a beat down right now. I can't fault the team's effort but they aren't quite ready yet. In the meantime, I'll continue watching because I'm a masochist.

Well don't get too down on NAU. The BSC is utter garbage this season. If a couple young players can emerge along side Yanku, I think NAU will be fine...and by fine I mean not finish in the cellar.

I think SUU has to be the most disappointing so far. They returned pretty much everyone from a team that got better as the season progressed.

ISU sucks as well, they got blown out at home by Utah Valley, this does not bode well at all

This same Incarnate Word team just beat St. John's in NYC by 22. That was also their first DI win of the season and they were just coming off a non-DI loss.
