The "Wait, What?" Thread

Postby marquette » Wed Nov 06, 2019 12:12 am

I figured we could use a thread to talk about the eyebrow raising results this season.

Tonight, power conference team Alabama lost to Ivy League Penn. I don't follow Penn but it feels like the Ivy has been more competitive recently so maybe this one isn't as big of an eyebrow raiser as I thought on first look.

Chicago State lost to NAIA Judson. Now, Chi St. is barely DI but you can't lose to an NAIA. You just can't.

Meanwhile, Grand Canyon lost to DII Davenport. I had thought that GCU was one of those mid-majors that was kind of on the upswing athletically but but wow.

Finally, what happened in Lincoln tonight? The Fred Hoiberg led Cornhuskers got blown out 66-47 by a UC-Riverside team that went 10-23 last year. What?
This is my opinion. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

Holy crap. Fred Hoiberg loses his NU debut to a team picked 7th in the Big West.
Nebraska by birth, Creighton by choice.

I take entirely too much delight in this result. Are Fuskers gonna blame Mike Riley for this, too?

I like this thread. I think it'll receive its share of hits this season and beyond. It should be "stickied," so as to not get lost.

Shocked to see Nebraska lose with future NBA superstar Cameron Mack running the show.

I guess this can replace the non-BE games thread from the last few seasons.
