Almost front-page worthy

So much amazing basketball in D3 Saturday, we couldn’t fit all of it out front…

Here’s the best of the rest

Men’s

* I count 21 one-possession games (decided by 3 points or fewer) and 9 OT games (some decided by 3 or fewer) among that which was reported by 12:45am

* Among them, an ODAC-record 154 points from Emory & Henry in an eight-point OT win against Eastern Mennonite.

* Chad McGowan’s late 3-point play kept York in the thick of the tight CAC race, with a win over Hood.

* Petre Petkovski’s late score pushed Bethany to 6-1 in league, earns team nice win over Thomas More.

* Knox stunned Carroll on a late hoop by Adam Estergard, giving the Prairie Fire 5 wins, as many as it had last season.

* Likewise, Anderson matched its win total from last year (9) by rallying from 13 down to beat Mount St. Joseph.

* Richard Stockton crushed New Jersey City, handing the Gothic Knights their worst loss in 14 years, a 41-point blow.

* York shut down Brooklyn to nab CUNYAC bragging rights, for now.

* Endicott was down 14-2, but beat Wentworth Tech on a Joey Burgos buzzer-beater.

* 2-16 UMass-Boston shocked Rhode Island College.

* Mitchell got its first win vs a D3 this year, beating Lyndon State

Women’s

* William Smith squeaked one out at Union, improving to 13-1 by winning in OT

* Much-improved Potsdam State lost a tough one to Geneseo, a day after upsetting SUNY-Brockport.

* Wooster women got a 3 at the regulation buzzer to tie, then another with 2 seconds left in OT to edge Earlham

* Jessica Berry scored as time expired to give Utica a road win at St. John Fisher.

* Clark went 3-point bonkers against Coast Guard, but Coast Guard rallied from 5 down with a minute left to win in double-OT, improve to 6-0 in NEWMAC

* Transylvania handed Manchester its first HCAC loss of the season, winning by 1 point.

* Caltech won its first game against a D3 this season, slipping past Claremont-Mudd Scripps by 1.

  1. I have one more “one possession game” to your total.

    University of the Ozarks won 71-69 over Louisiana College on a last second jumper from Habeeb Kareem!

    Total now: 22

  2. You’re getting a little look at how scores get on the site if no school posts them, I think. 🙂

    We have people working into the wee hours to clean those things up.
