Last Night
Whittier 58 John Carroll 67
Whipping out the whit6r bobble head worked like an absolute champ last night as John Carroll scored the upset with a 9 point victory over ranked Whittier. That must be one creepy-looking little ceramic dude because Whittier came out of the locker room scared stiff, missing their first six shots on their way to 39% from the floor and a disappointing 0-11 from 3pt. John Carroll used that poor shooting to open an early lead and stay in front the entire game with three scorers in double figures. Whittier and windixies drop to #13 in the rankings while John Carroll, whit6r, and the bobble head climb up to just outside the top 25.
Also considered: #14 Texas Lutheran cruised to an easy 87-61 victory over Webster, St. Joseph's upset #15 Elizabethtown 70-57, while the dream of a perfect season ended for previously ranked Wittenberg on a last-second shot by Calvin 48-46.
Sim Blowout watch: Linfield kept it respectable most of the way against #17 Capital only losing by 14, 66-80. But the real drama was with Maine, Farmington who scored just enough down the stretch to cover the massive 77 points as #3 Greensboro showed no mercy, 118-52.

#3 Greensboro (5-0)(tilldog28) at Penn St. Altoona (3-2)(frankgrimes1)
Greensboro takes a bit of step up in competition from last night from a 77 point underdog simmy to our defending national champion. tilldog and Greensboro look to stay undefeated as frankgrimes and Penn St. Altoona continue their rough defense schedule. I'm not sure if any bobble heads will be involved.
Also considered: Lots of good games to choose from today: Wooster at #6 Ursinus, #12 Centre at #15 Elizabethtown, #13 Whittier at Denison, #23 Howard Payne at #18 Sewanee
Sim blowout watch: Carroll is getting 63 points at home against #14 Texas Lutheran and Goucher (love that name) is a 32 point underdog hosting #17 Capital.
