News From The Summit 2/23/2008


The Boubacar 2/23/2008 (BracketBusters Edition)--The Mid-Majority

And How 'Bout™ Oakland? IUPUI had been rolling along, but came down from the high of giving Oral Roberts its first Badlands Conference loss last weekend. But the Golden Grizzlies beat the Golden Jaguars 84-69 in a second-half pullaway that snapped IUPUI's seven-game win streak. The difference was the board battle -- IUPUI was mostly "pooee" on the glass with only 17 rebounds.
