--------------------------------------------------------------
Week 1
Colorado- 60, N. Texas- 56
Wisconsin- 76, UMBC- 55
Chattanooga- 56, Ohio- 55
Chattanooga had to survive an Ohio half court prayer at the buzzer that fell way short, otherwise we'd have another 5 vs. 2 upset in the first game. Wisconsin was impressive in victory, and Colorado also led from start to finish.
Week 2
N. Texas- 58, UMBC- 50
Chattanooga- 73, Colorado- 68
Wisconsin- 77, Ohio- 62
Pretty close games this week, even Wisconsin was only up by 3 at halftime, and the Chattanooga/Colorado game was back and forth.
Week 3
Wisconsin- 61, N. Texas- 47
Colorado- 66, Ohio- 53
Chattanooga- 60, UMBC- 58
Another game in which Chattanooga had to hang on late. Wisconsin actually was outscored in the second half of their game. Colorado fought off pesky Ohio with an 8-0 run in the last 2 minutes of the game.
Week 4
Ohio- 58, UMBC- 55
Colorado- 81, Wisconsin- 79 (OT)
Chattanooga- 76, N. Texas- 67
UMBC is proving to be a pesky low seed team in their group, as it take a buzzer beating three pointer from Ohio to beat them. And this is the earliest a top team in their group has lost, as Colorado overcame a 9 point halftime deficit to force overtime, then hit a bucket with 2 seconds left to get the upset win.
Week 5
Wisconsin- 69, Chattanooga- 46
Colorado- 77, UMBC- 50
Ohio- 64, N. Texas- 55
Wisconsin was not happy about losing last week, and they took it out on previously undefeated Chattanooga, holding them to 15 second half points. Meanwhile, Colorado gave UMBC no chance to hang around, leading by only 7 at halftime, they scored the first 16 points of the second half to put it away. Ohio has won 2 in a row.
