See bullman, no need to get so nervous about appearing in the GotN writeup. You need to think more positive, nothing to worry about.
Last Night
Whitworth 61 #10 Willamette 77
Well maybe there isn't absolutely nothing to worry about, visiting Whitworth held a narrow 42-41 lead at the half. But then Willamette fought off the GotN jinx and completely shut down the Whitworth offense in the second half, holding them to just 19 points. Willamette and bullman climbed into the top ten with the win and opened up a two game lead in the standings.
Also considered: #3 Emerson got past Rivier on the road 77-66, #2 Wittenberg handled Wabash 72-55, Christopher Newport scored the road upset over #14 Oglethorpe 74-67, and #24 Allegheny downed Denison 60-49.
Sim blowout watch: Two in a row! Methodist were not even close to the spread as they were victimized by #9 Greensboro 54-127. Ouch.
ITaLRbHAGotN: Webster 62 Aurora 53. Angry Gorloks.

#11 Ozarks (18-4)(westcoast22) at #6 Dallas (20-3)(tarvolon)
Another good one in the University between divisional foes. Ozarks got the big win at home earlier in the season and now they have a two game lead in the standings. A win on the road would practically clinch first place while if Dallas can get revenge at home, they'll be only one game back and within striking distance. westcoast has a 4-1 series advantage and the odds-makers are calling this one a pick.
Also considered: #25 Wooster at #4 Grove City, #19 Colorado at #12 Whittier, Palm Beach Atlantic at #1 Piedmont, #21 Emory at Millsaps, #22 Johnson and Wales at Suffolk, and Baldwin-Wallace at #23 John Carroll
Sim blowout watch: Haverford is getting a big 71 point hosting #7 Dickinson while Shenandoah is a 59 point home dog against #9 Greensboro.

Austin (19-4)(ricosuave21) at #8 Hardin-Simmons (22-0)(sublightd)
Well, the first game between these two made this section so we might as well feature the reverse meeting too. That earlier home loss was Austin's only conference defeat this season so they're only one game behind H-Sim in the standings. An upset here forces a tie for first place and a loss pretty much clinches it for Hardin-Simmons. No pressure or anything. The home team is favored by 4.
