52 undefeated teams left, but we all know that 2-2 is the super-cool record to have after four games.
Last Night
Concordia 71 #15 Dallas 90
tarvolon made his GotN debut in style with an impressive 19 point home win. Concordia led for long portions early on but Dallas came back to take the lead with five minutes left in the first half, and they never trailed again. The home team kept up the pressure in the second half, extending the lead to double figures and cruising to the finish. Dallas and tarvolon had five players in double digits and moved up seven spots in the rankings with the win. Concordia and hoboman were led by James Warden's 21 points in their first loss of the season.
Also considered: Another game against a ranked opponent, another OT victory for #9 Wittenberg, this time 69-66 over Penn St. Altoona, #16 Colorado handled Wooster 60-47, Howard Payne upset Sewanee 67-57, and #21 Christopher Newport got past SUNY Cortland 63-54.
Sim blowout watch: Boy, that escalated quickly... I mean, that really got out of hand fast. George Fox became our first official blowout victim of the season, almost getting doubled up by #24 Texas Lutheran 67-131. Brick killed a guy. Did you throw a trident? Not to be outdone, E. Mennonite went one step further and did get doubled up in becoming our second official blowout victim to #19 Ozarks 52-115. Two victims in one night! Yeah, there were horses, and a man on fire, and I killed a guy with a trident. Brick, I've been meaning to talk to you about that.
GotN

Sim blowout watch: After last night's bloodbath we're going to take it easy with just one game: York (NY) is getting 46 points as they play host to #18 New York U. So that's New York U at York of New York. That's a lot of yorks.
