Sunbelt Games Today - 11/15/08

Denver vs. Northern Iowa

UAB vs. Troy

WKU vs Houston

North Carolina State vs New Orleans

Louisiana Tech vs. Louisiana Lafayette

Some interesting match ups with several against CUSA....and I love wins over CUSA. The WKU game is especially interesting and should be a decent measuring stick as to where WKU is at right now. I believe that UNO beat NC State last season when they were Top 25. This is should be a great game due to the "pay back" factor.

Denver apparently is involved in a serious defensive battle with North Iowa.... 33-31 with 12 minutes left in the game.

Denver lost to the mighty Northern Iowa.

Denver lost to the mighty Northern Iowa.

and to think Kurt Warner wasn't even playing today

[CMJ]

Northern Iowa isn't a terrible loss on the road....but it woulda been a nice win for Denver to have over a MVC school.

Looks like Troy is a few minutes away from a loss to UAB. Today isn't shaping up well so far for the SBC.... Hopefully ULL, UNO, and WKU can win tonight. I want our conference ratings high when we enter conference play.

WKU up by 10 at the half.

Any idea why Magley only played 6 minutes for Western tonight?

Anyone have any eligibility left want to go enroll at Denver? 3 guys played 40 minutes and they only went 2 deep on the bench. This really isnt a bad loss for UD...most of what I've read has UNI pegged second in the MVC, right behind Creighton. UNI isn't a running team by any means, but it still looks like Denver forced them into their snails pace kinda game.

UNO vs NC State - 19-15 - UNO up with 6 min. left in half 1.

ULL vs. Lou Tech 15-14 - Lou Tech up with 8 min left in half 1.

I have the UNO tracker up on my computer while watching football on TV. UNO really seems to be playing fantastic.

I just saw that... it hadn't updated in while and it looked like NC State was pulling away... hope UNO can pull it out.

[CMJ]

UNO had the ball but couldn't covert, fouled NC State.

Looks like the Wolfpack will salt this away.

Nice effort by the Privateers. Was hoping they could win this one. Tough day for the Belt.

CMJ - Are you sure this score is right? ESPN has it the other way??

Pretty positive. Not just Yahoo has it, but Realtime Rpi shows New Orleans as 0-1 and NC State as 1-0.
