| I know Bucknell hasn't played this month, but that also means they're still undefeated

But there was a change. Indiana Purdue Fort Wayne gained their first win of the season today. The Mastodons, clad in pink for Vera Bradley Pink Week, beat Robert Morris 71-67. Both teams are new to the Horizon League, IPFW from the Summit and Robert Morris from the Northeast.
Shayla Sellers, the daughter of former NBA player Brad Sellers, is a sophomore who was averaging only 7 points per game a week ago. In her last two games she has set all time highs with `17 points last Sunday and 21 points today. After a close first quarter Sellers went to work in the second, scoring 13 points including 3 3-pointers. IPFW led the entire 2nd half but RM got within 2 three times in the fourth quarter. Sellers made 4 free throws in the final minute to seal the win.
Of the remaining 6 winless teams Weber St has the best chance of securing a win, hosting Cal St Sacramento for 2 games next week. Loyola (Md) has been competitive, losing their last 5 games by less than 10 points. The Greyhounds have 4 games left against American and Navy and could win any of them. Cal has been playing better of late, but their last realistic shot is Arizona St on Sunday. The Bears lost by only 4 in their first matchup. Chicago St has 2 games left against New Mexico St. Tennessee St's best chance for a win is against Eastern Kentucky who only beat them by 12 in their first meeting. Northwestern St, likely the worst team, has their best chance vs New Orleans.

Just a small point: Purdue Fort Wayne has dropped the Indiana from their name (of the university, not just the sports teams). The two universities still jointly operate the IUPUI campus, but that is the only one at this point.

Cal has had a very tough season. The team was very young with only one senior, Archer Olson, who had played less than 40 minutes coming into the year. Their top guard, Kianna Smith had transferred to Louisville and Alaysia Styles transferred to Maryland. And then the team was hit by season ending injuries to two of their top guards. Leilani McIntosh also went down with a concussion. Cal had only 3 non-conference games, losing to Cal St Bakersfield, San Jose St and San Francisco by single digits. That left only Pac 12 games so the Golden Bears knew they would struggle to find a win.
It took until Senior Day but it was a sophomore that led the day. Arizona St led 8-5 after the first quarter but the Bears roared back for a 26-22 halftime lead. The game stayed close until 3 minutes left in the 3rd, but then Cal went on a 15-1 run over the next 5 minutes. Leilani McIntosh scored a career high 21 points to lead Cal to a 67-55 victory. She had been a 31% shooter from 3 this season (27% for her career) but she went 4-4 yesterday.

They were running out of options, with their only other game against Stanford.

Let's not forget Mia Mastrov, who should be a senior at Miramonte HS, and played 40 minutes. I was on the staff at Miramonte so know her pretty well, and it's great to see her out there.

Moot now, but they will still have a Pac12 tournament game vs the 9 seed...I think.

| I was thinking about regular season record only, but point taken.

They will play the 5th seed, most likely Colorado.
