We give out two LOTDs today, because I meant to do this yesterday and forgot.
First up is Temple's Mark Tyndale. No, it's not just because the Owls' win over Marist got them off the schneid for the season. There will be whole teams that don't do this well this year from the free throw line in games:

I'm fairly sure you won't see a guy score 23 points but end up with a 21-point efficiency score all that often.
Next up is Duke's Kyle Singler... and yes, it pains me somewhat to give a LOTD to a Duke player, but his role in the Blue Devils' 83-61 embarrassment of Princeton (it was 31-4 midway through the first half) was pretty impressive:

Why does it "pain you somewhat" to highlight a Duke player?
Where and what is the cause for
any anti-Duke bias?
I like this blog since its "fair and balanced", but a comment like this
shows your true immaturity.
Sorry

It's sarcasm. My only objection to Duke is the amount of hype the program gets from the national media, often without much regard to how good the team is at the time. I like to poke fun at that sometimes.
Sorry if it didn't come across to you as such.

All of this college basketball talk about RPI, mid-majors, and these mind-numbing stats is starting to make my head spin. Especially at this stage of the season.
I would like to get back on track to the college football, which captures my attention and energy this time of year.
Q1: Is there any other reason besides what has been stated with LaSalle bagging the program? It never seemed to get much attention locally, both in the papers and on TV. I feel bad for the players and the staff.
Q2: Delaware plays DSU on Friday. Why is the game on Friday? Its the only Friday game of the first round of the I-AA playoff, with the other games being played on Saturday. And, what is the buzz on the game? For years, DSU has been chasing the game, and now they have it.. in a playoff!
