Almost no one played last night. Literally not a single score that I would normally type up here occurred last night.
Cupcake winners: Pitt, Valparaiso (on the road! at a terrible team, but still on the road), North Dakota St (on the road, too).
By the way, Valpo is 7-2 overall, and 4-2 on the road. The committee looks favorably upon playing all those roadies, and winning them. Losing at Ball St is forgivable when you beat Oregon St and Rhode Island on the road too. The bad news is they might be out of quality win chances because the Horizon is a tire fire.
