Group 9
#9 Florida (SEC, 13-3, 29-8)
St. Marys (WCC, 11-3, 25-9)
Bethune-Cookman (13-3, 21-13)
Cleveland St. (Horizon, 13-5, 27-9)
Week 1
St. Marys- 76, Florida- 68
Cleveland St.- 82, Bethune Cookman- 68
Big win for St. Marys, and CSU has no trouble with Bethune.
Week 2
Bethune Cookman- 73, Florida- 71
St. Marys- 78, Cleveland St.- 62
A huge upset, as Florida is 0-2 in group play now, and has a long road back. St. Marys is looking like the big favorite in this group.
Week 3
Cleveland St.- 81, Florida- 68
St. Marys- 80, Bethune Cookman- 64
The downward spiral continues for what I thought was an overrated Florida team, while St. Marys avoids the upset. Here are the standings halfway through.
St. Marys (3-0, +40)
Cleveland St. (2-1, +11)
Bethune Cookman (1-2, -28)
Florida (0-3, -23)
Florida is on the verge of being the second straight ranked team to be eliminated in group play. Even running the table in the second half of group play would probably only guarantee them a second place finish.
