Around The Sun Belt

After the first weekend of basketball for most SBC teams...the conference has a respectable 5-4 record, heres a couple of quick summaries:

South Alabama - 73 West Florida - 41 - Dominic Tilford scored 15 and Brandon Davis and Demetric Bennett added 12 each. Interesting note, the USA frontcourt is a bit foul prone...DeAndre Coleman fouled out in 15 minutes and other starting forwards Brandon Davis and Ronald Coleman picked up four each. Daniel Hayles, a NCOY candidate, did not play

WKU - 96 Kennesaw St. - 61 - Courtney Lee dropped 26 points in just 21 minutes...and 3 others scored in double figures including top freshman Stefphon Pettigrew with 11.

Troy - 72 Alabama - 84 - Troy did a surprisingly good job of hanging with Bama but had no answer for Richard Hendrix who had 22 on 9 of 11 shooting. O'Darien Bassett had 17.

UL-Monroe - 78 Kansas - 107 - Tony Hooper led the Warhawks with 19...Jordan Payne chipped in 17 off the bench but ULm was completely outclassed the entire game.

Denver - 50 Oklahoma - 80 - Denver fell to 1-1, their one win an overtime game with East Central College, David Kummer (UNT_92's favorite player) had 11 to lead the Pioneers who may be having a bit of difficulty adjusting to Joe Scott's style as they committed 19 turnovers.
