Still not as bad as UVA-Chaminade, but close.
edit: It was a tournament in Utah. They played in the GAS the year before.

that the results of the game pale in comparison to how the team enjoyed itself on the road?

I don't know. I'm pretty sure we no longer have access to the "Preview: Sarah Heath" posts available, so I can't vouch for her RPI.

Those were the days. Back when people still recognized us as a 'football conference'.

I had it wrong thinking that occured in 1988 when they lost to Alaska Anchorage. It supposedly happened in 1987 when UM was out there for the Great Alaskan Shootout.

Philly Big 5/City 6 w/e you wanna call it exception of Villanova is a joke nowadays in basketball. I am not surprised. St. Joes is the only other program that can compete with Nova, yet they cling to a coach who has clearly rode the coattails of Jameer Nelson and Delonte West from over a decade ago.

Also, I think # 1 Virginia lost to NAIA Chaminade in the Maui Classic about 30 years ago.
December 5th, 2014 at 2:44 AM ^
yeah, the Chaminade upset is usually regarded as one of the largest in sports history

If the name LeMoyne sounds familiar, it's because that's where our very own John Beilein ran the show from 1983-1992, his last lower division job before making the jump to D1 with Canisius.

I thought usually once or twice a year a DII team would beat a DI team, especially down in the lower depths of DI
December 5th, 2014 at 9:40 AM ^
I think it is the first win by a visiting D2 team over a D1 team this year. It's the "first time in 200 tries" that gives it away--there have probably been 20,000 times a D1 team has hosted a D2 team all-time. Surely they aren't 19,999-1 in those games. But it is somewhat plausible that the D1 teams are 199-1 this year.

A few exhibition losses by big name programs:
- MSU lost to GVSU in 2007 (edit: had the wrong year initially)
- Memphis lost to Christian Brothers (D2) this season

Then I realized we were talking about basketball, not football.

When I went to school in the Philly area 20 years ago the University of Sciences was a pretty good D2 bball school - not sure today. However, with sports when you start talking about the differences in D1, D2, D3 it's really just that the guys in the next division up are a little bigger, stronger, faster. When you start talking about a lower level D1 team playing possibly a pretty good D2 team, the differences in talent and size might not be very noticeable. Especially in a sport like bball where there are only 5 guys on the court at a time and 1 or 2 really good players can make a huge difference in the game, an upset like this shouldn't be that surprising.

I know it was an exhibition game but Grand Valley beat MSU in 2007.

from Ottawa usually kills it in exhibition play, stateside or in Canada.
Beat Memphis twice this year. Beat Wisconsin last year. Lots of big name scalps.
