Grambling 159, College of Biblical Studies 18

Grambling women post record 141-point victory

Grambling's 159-18 triumph over the College of Biblical Studies marked the biggest margin of victory in Division I women's basketball history.

I may be way off here, but I‘m guessing College of Biblical Studies is lacking in the NIL department.

And they must have a GPA below 2.0 in religious studies, because they didn't have a prayer.

Not that anyone ultimately cares, and that includes me, but this is the kind of "record" that should have a long string of asterisks after it.

"CBS" is a Div. II school, which offers just partial scholarships, and not even in the 'regular' NCAA - they are NCCAA, the first C there standing for Christian. They are basically a level below an NCAA Div. II school. This is on par with Penn State playing Lancaster Bible College.

Imo, it's fine to schedule as an exhibition, preferably pre-season like many schools do, but for this win or those records to actually count is akin to counting the box score from a controlled intra-squad scrimmage.... which would likely be far more competitive.

Then how can it be a Div I record?

My point exactly.

My guess is that since it is a regular season game, and Grambling is a Div. I school, that's the requirement to make their stats count in the Div. I category. But it is nonsense.

I don't know for certain, but I look at enough Div. I bball scores nearly every day to see that a number of Div. I schools play schools that I don't recognize and don't remember seeing before. I guess schools and/or coaches will chase after Wins howevers they can.

Is it a sin to give College of Biblical Studies, or for them to receive, an A$$. BEATING. ?

I'm thinking they are familiar with the stories from the Old Testament, so a mere a$$ beating is a relief considering the menu of options they may imagine. It is the proverbial slap on the a$... er, wrist. 141 shades of black and blue, perhaps.

If I remember correctly, regular season games against non DI opponents do not count towards post season qualifying (RPI), so why should this record count?

Games against non-D1 schools don't count in the NET (the rating system that took the RPI's place), but they do show up on a resume and "count" when the committee looks at a school. It's basically a no-win proposition, but it's a cheaper home game and for a school like Grambling, I'm sure they're looking closely at the $ when they put together a home non-conf schedule.

Again, my point exactly.

NCAA, you're up.

Do they have a men’s team? Get them on the schedule!!

 

[Erial_Lion]

Thankfully, we haven't played regular season game against a non-D1 school since 2005...but if we do (and when we did), those stats count.

Penn State would win but get out-rebounded

Their men's team has already played three D1 games this season.

My favorite team that I've seen pop up as an opponent on the men's side this year is "Mississippi University for Women"...they played two different D1 teams.
