12/2/27-
San Diego (Charlie Shocker) @
Alabama State (Randolph Childress) -- Not much to talk about in this one. San Diego started hot and finished hot, having a 30 points halftime lead and never looking back in an easy road victory.
Final Score: San Diego- 82, Alabama State- 56
Now to the rest of the weekly recap:
North Carolina (Ariel Pryde) -- 3-2, 0-0 ACC.
No games this week for Ariel and the Tarheels.

12/2/27 at Purdue (L 70-66).
Tough loss for the Fighting Irish in their only game of the week.

12/2/27 vs. #23 Nebraska (W 80-74).
12/4/27 at FIU (L 78-62).
A split for the Ospreys, but not the results you would expect. They do get a nice home win, handing Nebraska their first loss, but fall apart at FIU.
TCU (Bee Mighty) -- 4-1, 0-0 Big 12.
11/30/27 vs. Louisiana Tech (W 52-48).
12/2/27 at Weber State (W 80-72).

#12 St. John's (Dean Hoo) -- 4-0, 0-0 Big East.
12/3/27 at Fresno State (W 99-84).
The Red Storm get a road test this week and pass it easily to stay undefeated.
Northwestern (Ess Vee) -- 6-1, 0-0 Big Ten.
11/29/2 vs. DePaul (W 66-50).
12/3/27 vs. Missouri State (W 76-63).
2 more solid wins for the Wildcats who are continuing to roll.

The Shockers get back on track this week with a pair of double digit road wins.
San Jose State (Thomas Shepard) -- 2-3, 0-0 Mountain West.
11/29/27 vs. Hawaii (L 64-56).
12/4/27 vs. USC (L 63-56).
A pair of tough home losses for the Spartans. A pretty good effort in both though.
Bryant (Rob Nielsen) -- 4-3, 0-0 Northeast.
11/29/27 at New Mexico (L 68-61).
12/1/27 at Princeton (L 69-52).
12/3/27 at Quinnipiac (W 79-76, OT).
12/5/27 vs. UMass Lowell (W 85-63).
A heavy week for the Bulldogs, with 4 big games, and they split. Coach Nielsen will take it, even if they needed overtime to get one of the wins.
#24 Wagner (Will Brown) -- 6-0, 0-0 Northeast.
12/1/27 vs. South Dakota State (W 70-57).
12/5/27 at Presbyterian (W 69-58).
2 more wins for the Seahawks as they stay undefeated, and they'll get a nice mid-major test next week.
Stanford (Benito Sanchez) -- 6-1, 0-0 Pac 12.
12/2/27 vs. Illinois Chicago (W 65-62, OT).
12/5/27 vs. Fresno State (W 100-64).
2 home wins this week for the Cardinal, recovering nicely from the loss to Ohio State. They can't be happy that UIC took them to OT though.
UCLA (Tim Shepard) -- 3-3, 0-0 Pac 12.
12/2/27 at Cal State Fullerton (L 79-71).
12/4/27 at UC Irvine (L 87-70).
Not a good week for the Bruins, 2 embarrassing losses on the West coast. At least both were road losses, but definitely Coach Shepard has some work to do with this squad.
Washington State (DeShawn St. John) -- 2-4, 0-0 Pac 12.
12/1/27 at Kansas (L 80-56).
The Cougars take a big L in their only game of the week. Although Kansas has struggled a bit in this dynasty, they are still good enough.
Alabama (Roy Rogers) -- 4-2, 0-0 SEC.
12/2/27 vs. Holy Cross (W 87-65).
12/4/27 vs. James Madison (W 73-59).
The Crimson Tide are on a bit of a roll, winners of 3 straight after winning their 2 games this week. They've got a few more winnable games before they go into a tough 3 game stretch to finish non-conference play.
Alabama State (Randolph Childress) -- 1-3, 0-0 SWAC.
12/2/27 vs. San Diego- feature game, highlighted above.
12/4/27 vs. Mercer (L 83-72).
2 more losses for the Hornets as they embark on an 8 game road trip now, where getting a win may be hard to come by.
Arkansas Pine Bluff (B.B. Gunn) -- 0-5, 0-0 SWAC.
12/1/27 at Memphis (L 92-66).
12/5/27 at Arizona (L 95-63).
No surprises here as the Golden Lions lose 2 more games. They are also in the middle of a long road trip against really tough competition.
Troy (Benton Gale) -- 1-5, 0-0 Sun Belt.
11/30/27 vs. St. Peter's (W 97-69).
12/4/27 at West Virginia (L 99-93).
A pretty good week for the Trojans as they won their first game convincingly, then took a very good West Virginia team to the limit. Hopefully they'll keep some momentum as they have a couple ranked teams coming up.
San Diego (Charlie Shocker) -- 3-2, 0-0 WCC.
12/2/27 at Alabama State- feature game, highlighted above.
