Clash of the Titans (the matchup between two teams with the highest combined Hoops Nerd Rating): Virginia (+13.9) defeated Arizona (+10.3). The Cats are still bothered by having lost to the Cavs by three points last season... and it happened again.
The Poison Cupcake (the night's biggest upset): Cleveland St. upset Florida St. in the Glenn Wilkes Classic tournament in Daytona Beach, FL. The Vikings built an 18 - 4 lead but needed overtime for the win. Cleveland St. was a 12.5 point underdog.
Superman Wears Kyle Landry Pajamas (the night's top performer): the Northern Arizona senior went 8 of 10 from the field with 14 rebounds and 10 trips to the free throw line. The context-adjusted stats were just as impressive:
Kyle Landry 11/17 vs. UMKC
Effective Field Goal Percentage: 80.0
Free Throw Rate: 70.0
Offensive Rebound Percentage: 36.3
Defensive Rebound Percentage: 28.9
