Tennessee gives Vandy a beatdown, 86-59. (OT, there's a really cute video somewhere of Kellie Harper and Shea Ralph's daughters running around together.)

Arkansas dumps Mizzou, 61-33. Mizzou is a sad mess that can't get out of its own way. It's really hard to play a team like that. When are they going to fire Pingeton?

JMU went down to San Marcos to play Texas State lsst night. This was an attempt to breakj up the ;gja, om first place, and the Dukes did it, winning 58-54, in a game which saw both Kiki Jefferson (20 pts, 12 rebs) ans Ksdeniia Kozlova( 15/14) get double-doubles. Also, Troy, which had been in sole possession of first place, got beat, so there's now a tie there.

The big deal this week was the second game of the renewed "Royal Rivalry" between the James Madison Dukes and the Ikd Dominion Monarchs. JMU won the first battle in the AUBC and Saturday they took it on the road to Norfolk and the Chartway Center. These two used to both be in the CAA, which ODU fled for C-USA, but this year both joined the Sun Belt, which is poised to become a pretty strong conference.

This game went right down to the wire and eventually ended up in OT, whereupon the Dukes erupted and won, 73-68. Dukes had three in double figures inc;idoing Lolo Jefferson with 30, Caroline Germond with 14, and Kseniia Kozlova with 20, and played a "short bench", using only 8 players. Monarchs, meanwhile, threw pretty much everyone they had at the Dukes.They had only two in double figures, Amari Young with 23 and Taleash Washington with 11. Looks like the ownership of the conference is pretty much down to JMU and Troy.
