Friday, 2/2/01--(Feb. 3, 2001)
We counted more than 350 teams in action on Friday night, and if you think we were able to get all the scores or details, you're nuts. . .or maybe we're nuts, because we've tried and we think we came up with most of them. Not all the details, but at least a score, and in a lot of cases, the overall won-loss records (in and out of league) for those of you who will be voting or helping out in the SCIBCA polls. . . and speaking of Polls, we missed our weekly SoCalHoops Top 20 Polls this past week, but we'll be posting up the newest and latest polls tomorrow (Sunday) all throughout the day.
Here's what happened on Friday night. Lot's of scores. If you know a game score or details where none are shown, send them in either by e-mail of by posting it to the message board.
