[PointGuard]

(5-4)

Jacksonville @ Miami (FL): Jacksonville tried to keep pace with Miami in the first half but fell behind to trail 36-24 at the break. The Hurricanes then blew the Dolphins away in the 2nd half to give them a 74-41 stomping. While Miami was definitely the better team, the refs also helped bury Jacksonville by calling just 2 fouls against the Hurricanes the entire game. Jacksonville never made it to the foul line. Coach Parsons Nyland spent much of the 2nd half in the locker room after being assessed with his 2nd technical. There were no Dolphin players who deserved to be mentioned for their play. (2-6)

Wofford @ Detroit: The Terriers and the Titans kept the score tight throughout the first half and went to the locker room deadlocked 36-36. But Detroit and its home crowd were too much in the 2nd half and Wofford fell 74-65. C Brandon Linton was the top scorer for Wofford with 11 points. (4-5)

Jacksonville @ Memphis: Underdog Jacksonville trailed the talented Tigers by just 7 points at the break.

SF Michael Frederick scored 13 points for Jacksonville. Memphis’ PF Dan Beerbohm scored 20 and pulled down 8 boards. Jacksonville is now saddled with a 5-game losing streak. (2-7)

A disappointing week for the 5 coaches with 5 losses in their 6 games. But all 6 games were on the road and the refs played a big part in at least 2 of the losses.

Injuries: Texas State’s Russell Brown suffered a bruised hip but should be ready to go for the Bobcat’s next game. C Mike Blackman of Cal-Davis has a strained hamstring and may be out for 2 weeks.

[PointGuard]

Rhode Island @ Texas St.: Texas State totally controlled the game in the first half with a tenacious defense. At the half the Bobcats led 35-18.

The Cougars cut into their lead but still were convincingly beaten 77-61. The Cougars abysmal shooting (35% of their FG attempts and a measly 13% of their 3 point shots) did them in. PF Robert Allocco scored 23 points and pulled down 8 rebounds for Chicago State. (5-5)

Jacksonville @ Drake: Jacksonville played strongly in the first half and came out of it with a 33-31 lead. But the Dolphins fell apart in the 2nd half and lost 71-58 to extend their losing streak to 6 games. The Dolphins’ PF Maurice Braun scored 18 and grabbed 12 rebounds. (2-8)

Bryant @ Wofford: Wofford’s defense allowed the Terriers to take a 34-21 lead to the locker room and then win going away, 68-43. Wofford’s C Brandon Linton played his best collegiate game, scoring 28 points and hauling down 8 boards. (5-5)
