The wind was very loud last night and it kept waking me up so I'm very tired. How's that for an interesting stat of the day?
Last Night
#2 Texas Lutheran 83 Worcester St. 63
Texas Lutheran shook of their supposed GotN jinx and opened up an 8 point halftime lead. The home team fought back to close the gap but the Bulldogs of TL were able to hold off the charge and effectively put the game out of reach about halfway through the second half. Texas Lutheran and ajlillie moved up a spot in the rankings after the road win and Worcester St and kneehouse now find themselves in the others receiving votes section.
Also considered: #14 Ursinus edged #24 Whittier 92-86, #9 Piedmont stayed perfect with a road win over UMass Dartmouth 64-51, #13 John Carroll prevailed in a double overtime thriller against Colorado 91-86, #23 Hamline took care of Wittenberg at home 79-61, and Millsaps got past Howard Payne 76-64.
Sim blowout watch: The blowout watch enjoyed a quite evening at home, eating ice cream and watching historical documentaries.
