Beat the BCS 2018-19 Edition

[Washingtonian]

Texas Southern (SWAC) beat Oregon (PAC-12) 89-84.

 

[Five Two]

UCF beat Alabama by 4! They've been saying they are at Alabama's level for 2 years now and finally proved it!

Radford takes down another one: Radford 62 Texas 59.

Bet their coach isn’t with Radford next year.

For craps sake Radford plays in a high school gym and has beaten 2 power five schools. They spread it out with good guards. What do we have in year four - hoping beyond hope to beat W&M??

Maybe after 8 years, Jones will finally be able win a Big South regular season championship.

Radford finished 2nd in their league last year but won their conference tourney to make the big dance last year. Wouldn't you prefer that when a regular season championship in the Big South will likely only get you to the NIT?

I know I was happy with those years that Larranaga's teams finished lower than 1st but won the CAA tourney.

They were awful when he got there and now he has them beating Texas. Wow.

Not BCS but there is an incredible game right now with #1 Gonzaga down by two to Creighton 71-69 with over TWELVE minutes lef tin the game!!!!

Final total points may be over 200.

Isn’t Creighton technically a “BCS team” being in the Big East?

Ah yes, you are correct. I should be used to it by now with Gonzaga, but its still a bit weird that a BCS team is playing a Non BCS team that is ranked #1 in the country.

If any team had the incentive to leave their conference for a bigger one it would be Gonzaga. But they remained loyal to the WCC. Nice to see.

Tiny school plus no football would make me want to stay in WCC as well. St Mary’s is usually pretty good and many moons ago Pepperdine and San Fran were as well

San Fran is good this year... 7-1. Lost to #21 Buffalo today

Didn’t they used to be like really good for a couple decades?! 70s-80s?! Way before I was born but I remember reading they had a good program

BYU plays their non-football sports in the WCC now too and they usually are decent.

I would imagine BYU has roughly 50x the student population that Gonzaga has

Butler only has 4,400 students and Gonzaga has 4,965 students.

One left their conference, one stayed. Probably alot of other factors plays into it, though.

Only logical place to move for Gonzaga is PAC 12 and there are many reasons why they shouldn’t and haven’t done that. Butler got admitted into the most historical conference ever

As a New Yorker - good to see a SUNY school in the top 25. I'd rather it be Mason though.

 

[GMUgemini]

Speaking of Butler, they lost today to St. Louis.
