In Round 2 of the A10 Tournament, George Washington leads @FordhamMBB 11-7 at the first media timeout. Japhet Medor has drawn a lot tighter coverage than he did against URI yesterday, and it's forced the Rams to take some tough shots early on. GW excelling in the paint early.

Ohio State won all of their CFP games by double digits. Is it even worth asking if we can find a solution to reducing the amount of uncompetitive games in the playoff since 2014? It feels like there’s no answer that doesn’t completely re-haul how other components of the sport work.
