A few links to get you caught up on some of Sunday's action:
- norcalnick of SB Nation's California Golden Blogs offers what he learned from Cal's 73-70 loss to the Rutgers Scarlet Knights. Of course, as just about anyone who follows Cal even half closely might expect, ball handling is a concern for them once again this season and thus turnovers were a problem against Vivian Stringer's 55-press defense.

- Jayda Evans of the Seattle Times was at the Connolly Center for the Seattle University Redhawks' 66-62 loss to the UC Davis Aggies, who just completed a Seattle sweep after beating the Washington Huskies on Friday. Should we be fearing the Aggies? Well, Sacramento State pulled off the same feat in 2009 and didn't make the tournament, for whatever that's worth. Read more >>>
- SBN's I Am The 12th Man provides a brief recap of Texas A&M's 83-58 rout of Lamar in which Kelsey Bone scored 11 points in her debut. They also present another interesting bit of trivia: the men's team beat Southern by the exact same score on Sunday. How often does that happen? Read more >>>
- SBN's Anonymous Eagle provides a brief summary of Marquette's 69-61 win over Mississippi Valley State, which I normally think about as Jerry Rice's school. While that score was closer than it should have been, maybe Marquette's 30-8 run is encouraging? Read more >>>
- If you'll allow me to have a late-90's CAA moment, the American University Eagles lost a tough one in double OT to James Madison Dukes yesterday in luxurious Bender Arena. Both AU and JMU have been on a bit of an upswing in recent years and the visiting Dukes got the better of the Eagles yesterday. Read more >>>
- Matt Sussman of SBN's Hustle Belt continues to keep us updated on all the MAC scores of the day. Of note from this weekend was his surprise that Bowling Green had no answer for Dayton in a 61-51 loss. Read more >>>
- Jennifer Azzi's San Francisco Dons recorded their first win of the season against the San Jose State Spartans for the second year in a row. Guard Rheina Ale was impressive with 23 points, 9 assists and 8 rebounds. Read more >>>
- SBN's Our Daily Bears notes that Baylor won again. Ho hum. Read more >>>
- SBN's Bruins Nation makes an interesting comment on former coach Nikki Caldwell's departure: "[Athletic Director Dan Guerrero's] appalling handling of the women's basketball team -- allowing the NCAA to make UCLA play Gonzaga on Gonzaga's home court in the tournament -- helped lead to the departure of one of the top women's college basketball coaches." Read more >>>
- SBN's Block U briefly summarizes Utah's first game and notes that they have a big test coming up this week: a trip to chilly Ann Arbor for a game against the Michigan Wolverines. (Go Blue) Read more >>>
Obviously, other things occurred this weekend that we haven't posted on the site. Feel free to drop links in the comments or just say good things about the Michigan Wolverines.
