Sure, it was Central Baptist, but a win’s a win, at least unless you’re the NCAA Selection Committee. The Bisons forced turnovers on over 25% of CBC possessions and held their True Shooting percentage under 40, which meant CBC just wasn’t going to score a lot of points in this one. That turned out to […]

Weekly Notes: December 6, 2007
