Back to tonight's action. In addition to Gonzaga, other "mid majors" who had a successful night include Creighton, who downed a ranked Clemson team from the ACC. Also, GA State shed a lot of "flagship frustration" (if the term "flagship" even exists in Georgia's higher education structure) tonight as they soundly trounced the GAWGA Bulldogs by close to 30!!! Finally, Loyola of Chicago played Boston College pretty tough before losing by about 10 or so. BC looked pretty good and could be an ACC dark horse.
As for Herd foes, Rice lost tonight, but UTSA, FAU, and Southern Miss all won. Akron (4-2) and Toledo (5-1) also won and should be pretty competitive foes for the Herd!
