It was a great OOC!

FGCU just beat A10 member Richmond by 18 points at Richmond Saturday and only lost to undefeated Drake by 2 at Drake back in November.

Not to jinx it lol, but we not far from Quad 1 category (1-75 if playing home game) in the NET and Top 100 in KenPom................

Princeton beat Akron today on a 3 pointer with 1.8 seconds to play 76-75. Sound familiar? They are now 10-4.

Also - Seattle went to new Big Ten member U. of Washington and won by 79-70. Washington is 9-4 and ranked in the Pomeroy top 100.

Yes meant to note that in the OP. Have added it, thanks for the reminder.

Watched the entire game (Akron Zip fan from birth).
Most impressive is Princeton came back and won the game without Ivy League POTY Caden Pierce, who rolled is ankle in the 1st half and only played 8 minutes.
Having wins against two solid (top 25) OOC mid-major programs (Princeton & Belmont)should help us in seeding should head back to the dance in March.
