First, addressing Monday's games, we saw two 30-point plus spreads.
UNF destroyed Trinity Baptist. Sure, TB is not a D1, but dang, winning by a margin of 76 is still impressive. UNF moves on to a 4-1 record before beginning the Campus Game portion of the Continental Tire Las Vegas Invitational.
Stetson had a tough game against a clear top-10 OSU, but they played very well in the second half of that game. Keep an eye on them, as they currently sit at 2-2 prior to the MAAC/ASUN Challenge.
Second, addressing Tuesday's games, we see two games that were much closer than might have been anticipated.
LU chose to sit Homesley prior to the Islands of the Bahamas Showcase, & it showed that they were missing one of their top guys, particularly when they game cut to a 3-point difference with 1:47 remaining in the game. Liberty pulled the game out by 7, but fans were sweating more than they thought they would in this matchup.
UNA, meanwhile, showed up very well against a very tough South Dakota State team. They played so well that they actually led at halftime, & the Jackrabbits were left on their heels coming out of the locker room for the second half. While the Lions may only be 2-3, they look to be a dangerous team that other ASUN members should be preparing heavily for.
