Show Me Saturday

This Saturday was a chance for a handful of teams with good records to show they are real contenders.

Who showed us something? Let's start with Randolph-Macon, which won at No. 11 Guilford 69-60 on Saturday afternoon. David Carlson paced the Yellow Jackets with 26 points and Randolph-Macon is now 9-2, 3-1 in the ODAC.

No. 4 Williams didn't win at No. 3 Amherst but showed a little something behind Matt Weisbrot's 18 points, rallying from a 13-point deficit with 90 seconds left to cut the lead to four before falling 87-80. The same can be said of Ohio Northern, which lost to No. 16 Capital 69-67. Kyle Gehle scored 20 of his game-high 23 points in the second half to lead a Polar Bear comeback that came up short. Bryan Beamish hit a three-pointer with three seconds left as No. 14 UW-Stevens Point edged UW-Platteville 70-67 in the final "Show Me" game of the night. Track Saturday's men's scores.

On the women's side, Millikin showed something, as Lindsay Ippel scored 28 points and had nine rebounds in the Big Blue's upset of No. 10 Illinois Wesleyan. So did UW-Eau Claire, which knocked off No. 2 UW-Whitewater 63-60, ending the Warhawks' undefeated run. Eau Claire hasn't lost to Whitewater at home since 1987. The Warhawks had a chance to tie with eight seconds left but could only hit one of two free throws.

Thomas More showed it's far ahead of the rest of the Presidents' Athletic Conference by crushing Washington & Jefferson 86-53 thanks to 16-for-34 three-point shooting. No. 15 Southern Maine dealt No. 25 Eastern Connecticut its first loss 55-50, but it was the Huskies' Stacey Kent who showed something, with 15 points in the final seven minutes, outscoring the Warriors herself in bringing her team back from an eight-point deficit.
