Some unexpectedly tight games today. Illinois Wesleyan edged Chicago, Wooster got a last-second basket to beat Earlham. Even tighter, of course, was Carnegie Mellon’s win against Rochester. Mary Hardin-Baylor the same against Mississippi College. St. Thomas edged Macalester 72-68.

The good: Coast Guard rolled up a 29-0 run against Kings Point in the basketball equivalent of the Army/Navy game, winning 97-76. The Bears shot 69.7% from the floor. … Alma’s men beat D-II Lake Superior State. … Nice win for Clark’s women over Salem State. … Elmhurst men knocked off Hanover and Chris Martin wasn’t one of the top two scorers.

The bad: Don’t have any details on Dickinson/Washington College on the women’s side but at 49-43 can’t have been a great game.

The ugly: Curry’s men lost at Christopher Newport because it had six men on the floor with under 30 seconds left. The two CNU free throws allowed the Captains to take a 65-64 lead en route to a 68-65 win.

So what does this mean? Catholic women beat Scranton. Mary Washington beat Catholic. Catholic beat Marymount. This could mean Mary Washington is really good. We’ll see.

We’ll leave the rest to you.
