(1) Georgetown 100-Savannah State 38. Whoa. Man, thank god Michigan won that game.
(2) Eastern Michigan 67-Wayne State 47. Win #2 for EMU on the year. Brandon Bowdry had 19 points and 7 rebounds. I don't see win #3 coming Saturday at Crisler.
*** Thoughts on Michigan not being ranked: What's the big deal? Only 2 teams from 20-25 in the polls lost this past week. Even if polls mattered (which they don't), 64 teams make the tourney, not 25 right? Unlike college football, where the polls make up two-thirds of the BCS, the college basketball polls (AP and Coaches) have no bearing... I repeat ZERO INFLUENCE on the NCAA tournament selections. The only ranking that matters is RPI, where Michigan is currently 15th. Also, Michigan has a SOS of 5. Warren Nolan explains well. Finally, how is Evansville's RPI #4, with the #1 SOS? They are 3-1 vs. division one teams and have played Austin Peay, Buffalo, Ball State and Butler. Huh?
UPDATE: Michigan's RPI is now #13 and SOS is #3 (as of 12/11)
