STARTING FIVE
- Lipscomb took an 88-75 win over Belmont to take the 153rd edition of the Battle of the Boulevard inside Allen Arena. Devyn Martin led the Bisons with 23 points while going 10-of-13 from the field while four others reached double-figures: Titas Sargiunas (17), Takai Simpkins (16) Mateo Esmeraldo (11) and Kennedy Okpara (11).
- Hayden Wood led the Dolphins to their second win of the season behind a 26-point performance against UM-Kansas City. Junior guard Jamie Phillips Jr. added a big offensive presence for Jacksonville with 18 points, 14 of them coming in the second half.
- After first year head coach Tanner Smith and the West Florida Argos picked up its first win of the season with a 127-point offensive show, UWF hit the century mark again with a 110-59 victory over Baptist University of Florida.
- Pat Chambers and crew had another close game against a P4 opponent, this time giving Georgia trouble this past Monday. After getting down by as much as 23 in the second half, the Eagles strung together a 16-0 run midway through the half to get within seven of the Bulldogs before Georgia sank late buckets to take the win.
- Queens held its own against No. 23 BYU where Rickey Ballard and Caleb Jones led the Royals with 18 points each and the team made a collective 14 three-pointers - the most for Queens this season.

Mann led the Royals to back-to-back wins over Winthrop and Loyola Marymount to start the 2026-27 season where he scored a career-high 28 points against LMU. The grad student shot 62 percent from the field while going 10-for-18 from beyond the arc while averaging a league-best 19.33 points per game last week.
Bryson Lucas, FGCU // Newcomer of the Week
Lucas had a breakout start to the 2026-27 season where he averaged 18.0 points, 8.5 rebounds and 2.5 blocks per game in the Eagles two games last week. The fifth-year, who came to FGCU from the Division II level, notched a 25-point, 10-rebounds performance to help the Eagles take UCF to overtime in the team’s season-opener and made him just the second Eagles player since 2015 to post a double-double in their FGCU debut.
