We've got West Florida leading the pack with an impressive 20-3 record in the conference. They're on fire! Gabriel: Fire, indeed! But hot on their heels, we've got Oklahoma Panhandle State with a 19-4 record. Those guys are making some noise this season. Jalen: And don't forget Western Washington, sitting at number three. They're 17-6 in the conference, still a force to be reckoned with. Christopher: Absolutely. Now let's take a closer look at today's games. Starting with the results from earlier: Western Washington 75 - Ferrum 91 Gabriel: Looks like Western Washington had a rough day. Their five-game winning streak came to an end, and Ferrum showed no mercy. Frank: Yeah, Ferrum really came out swinging in this one. It's impressive to see them take down a team like Western Washington. Xavier 65 - Austin College 59 Jalen: Xavier managed to secure a victory here, breaking their two-game losing streak. Austin College put up a fight, but it just wasn't enough. Gabriel: Hey, Jalen, didn't you have a few battles against Xavier back in the day? Jalen: Oh, you bet I did, Gabe. Those were some intense matchups. Xavier's got a strong program. Montana State Billings 77 - Bellarmine 63 Frank: Montana State Billings came out strong and snapped their three-game losing streak. Bellarmine, unfortunately, couldn't turn their season around. Christopher: It's been a tough year for Bellarmine. Let's hope they can bounce back soon. Rhode Island College 94 - Lakeland 51 Jalen: Rhode Island College made a statement in this game. They dominated Lakeland from start to finish, extending their winning streak to five games. Gabriel: That's a beatdown, no doubt. Rhode Island College means business. Notre Dame 75 - Messiah 94 Frank: Wow, what an upset! Notre Dame had a two-game winning streak going, but Messiah came out of nowhere and put a stop to it. Christopher: This game shook things up a bit in the standings. Messiah is making a push. Maryville 78 - Oklahoma Panhandle State 92 Gabriel: Oklahoma Panhandle State continues to impress. They've won three in a row now, and they had no trouble taking care of business against Maryville. Jalen: Yeah, Maryville's struggling this season, but credit to Oklahoma Panhandle State for staying consistent. Dubuque 91 - University of the Pacific 75 Jalen: Dubuque has been on a roll lately, and they kept it going with this win. They're now riding a four-game winning streak. Frank: That's some good momentum for Dubuque. They're climbing up the standings. West Florida 70 - West Alabama 67 Christopher: Talk about a nail-biter! West Florida narrowly escaped with a win against West Alabama. That could've gone either way. Gabriel: That's right, Chris.
