Saint Francis, PA 50


What is this, opposite day or something? St. Bon. and Hofstra win, F-D wins a road game, and Monmouth wins too (against a rpi 300 team, but still). Note: F-D now has a better rpi than we do(!).

[B][COLOR=Red]La Salle 76[/COLOR][/B]
Florida State 81

I followed the scoring in this one, LaSalle was up for most of the game, and lost when Fl. St. went 30-32 from the free throw line. That’s amazing. If Fl St. shoots a more normal percentage (say 75% = 24-32), LaSalle wins that game on the road. Count me as more worried about our game at LaSalle now.
