QuoteThen, the icing: 10 days later, in its next home game, Caltech beat La Verne 70–69. In three weeks the team had equaled the number of conference wins from the previous 43 years.

talking about recruiting
QuoteOne of last year's top recruits had to settle for his safety school, MIT.

Higher toral this year:

Warriors' losses or Sixers' wins?

A perfect basketball Saturday.

UNC won (beat NCSU who played well - sorry Brant).
Dook lost, at home, to an unranked team!  I guess they forgot to sacrifice enough children to Satan.
Auburn beat Kentucky at home!

Auburn beating Kentucky was a shocker.  The line was 11.5 point underdog.  Auburn has lost two of their 3 starting guards.  A walk-on got two minutes of play.  Kentucky shot horribly (36% from the floor) and short-handed Auburn played their hearts out.  Only the 2nd AU win against Kentucky in the last 33 meetings.

I think I've seen AU's men beat Kentucky 3 times in the last 28 seasons.  As a season (scholarship) ticket holder to AU Men's Basketball, this was a fun and unexpected win.

State is playing like a barrel of putrid fish this year. It'll be a miracle if they make the tournament

Congrats to Auburn!  The Round Table were just discussing this yesterday.  Auburn is down some serious talent and to take out Kentucky is a feather in Perl's cap!

So YOU'RE the one!

I also saw Auburn's Women beat Alabama on Thursday.  Auburn played their best game of the season on that one.

AUs men play Alabama next home game.

Bison

I hope to God you don't have to watch Auburn play UCONN.  That team is a monster this year.

Auburn's Men had their 2nd straight sellout (including standing room) for the Alabama game.  Auburn won and is at 500 in conference play. 

May not sound like much, but for Auburn basketball this is amazing.

They need a distraction from football season down there, huh? ;)

Different State, same results.
