Non P6 hoops- stumbling into 2024/25

 GCU never made it to the WCC, took the off ramp to MWC, maybe as soon as 2025. No Zags, no Antelopes will hurt the WCC. Plus WAC is stung.

Chicago St starts life in the NEC but has a rough game this month against TX(SEC)

USF(AAC) lost Coach Rahim , who died at he age of 43 due to a complication during surgery.Fletcher takes over. 

Lot of hype for St Louis(A10) , with former Indiana St HC Josh Shertz and a few of his player joining the team.

Coach Kampe(Oakland) stayed put  after beating Kentucky in 2024 Dance so the Golden Grizzlies will be a team to watch in the Horizon League.


Nov 9, 2024

Caught my attention: VCU(A10) blew out BC. CoC(CAA) beat USF(AAC). Brzovic 34 points  for the Cougars coached by Chris Mack.

South Dakota St (Summit) survived a late rally by LBSU(Big West) for a 79-73 win.

Nov 15, 2024

GCU(WAC) stayed with  Ariz St in the first half, but  went cold in the second half of a 76-87 loss. However, JaKobe Coles didn't miss a shot for the Lopes while scoring 17 points in the game.

Nov 18, 2024

St Mary's(WCC) beat Nebraska. 

William & Mary(CAA) scored 102 in a win over GASO(SBC). Where did that come from? Noah Collier scored 19 for the Tribe.

Boise St(MWC) beat Clemson.

Nov 23, 2024

Dorn (24pts) leads Elon(CAA) to an upset over Notre Dame (ACC)

Christmas  scored 15 points for Longwood(Big South) in an upset of UAB(AAC)

BTW, the late Jerome Kersey, ex NBAer, played for Longwood(1980-84).

Nov 26, 2024

Tyrese Hunter(AAC) scored 26 for Memphis in an upset of UConn.

KSt brings Longwood back to reality.

Chicago St (NEC)continues to struggle in a 63-48 loss to Radford(BigSouth)

Nov 27, 2024

Davis(18PTS9REB)(MWC) leads the Aztecs past Creighton (Big East). Memphis(AAC) keeps rolling with a win over Sparty. GCU(WAC) gives Stanford its first loss.

Dec 4, 2024

Maybe UTA hoops stays in the WAC this time. They were in the WAC (2012/13) then SBC (2013-22), then back to the WAC(2022-)

Mavs have been up and down this season and Ware(17 pts, 9reb) led them to an 84-70 win over ULM(SBC) last night

Dec 6, 2024

Dons top Billikens 78-61. Some  Sycamores fled Indiana St for SLU(A10) , but it ain't showing  positive results yet. Malik Thomas scored 22 for San Fran(WCC).

Drake(8-01-0 MVC) beat Valp. Stirtz scored 29 for the Bulldogs.

Dec 11, 2024

Nice 71-68 win for NDSU(Summit) over Butler(Big East) . J White (27pts) was a sharp-shooter for the Bison. 

COFC(CAA) 78 JOES(A10) 75  Good win for Coach Mack

Dec 16, 2024

Navy (Patriot) gave VTech a battle before losing 80-72

SF(WCC)  rides a big second half(52 points) to a 76-66 win over LOYCH(A10)

Todd scored 31 for Ark St(SBC) in a 98-89 OT win over UAB(AAC)

Chicago St  remains winless, and it's going to be a rough season when they get into  the NEC schedule. N. Crawford scored 20 in a loss to Mercer(Southern). Grand Canyon is the next game.

Dec 17, 2024

UTEP(AAC) 67 TARL(WAC) 62. Spirited comeback attempt by Gillispie's kids.

Weston scored 30 for MTSU(CUSA) in a win over  Cal Baptist(WAC)

Dec 20, 2024

G Crawford (17 P, 5 R , 3 A) for UNTD(North Texas -Dallas) in  a 69-68 upset of Rice (AAC). Ok, now I know NTX has as a Dallas campus.

Dec 22, 2024

Wichita St(AAC) fans are scratching their heads. After bad losses to DePaul and Kansas City(AKA- UMKC), X Bell scored 24 points to lead the Shockers to a 84-65 win over KST(Big12) 

Dec 26, 2024

Coach Chris Mack is having a nice early part of the season at CoC(CAA). After losing to Oregon St the Cougars beat LOYCH  and Charlotte. Brzovic  19.2 PPG this season

Chicago St is 0-14  this season. NEC play starts soon and I don't foresee a lot  of improvement.

Dec 31, 2024

End the year looking out west. WCC: Zags gets a tough game from Pepperdine and win 89-82. San Fran survives Santa Clara 97-94 in OT. 

Bent Leuchten (20 pts, 10 reb) for UCI(Big West) in a 71-63 win over Cal Baptist(WAC)

I was checking out the score of SFA(Southland) beating Abilene Christian(WAC) and noticed that UTRGV hoops left the WAC for the Southland. They paid a 2M exit fee. Biggest reason given was the cost of extensive travel and the need to maintain a footprint in TX and Louisiana.
