Pretty much as expected
Originally possted Friday at 11:48 p.m., updated at 8:37 a.m.)(9) Washington 54, Lehigh 37 -- The good news? Lehigh's defense held the nation's highest scoring offense over 40 points below its average. The reality? The Mountain Hawks still got beat by almost 20.

This excerpt from the AP story pretty well sums it up:
The in-your-face Huskies turned every Lehigh possession into a pained effort to get off a decent shot. And few went in. The Mountain Hawks made just seven of 29 shots in the first half -- only one beyond 5 feet -- to fall behind by 19.
Washington had averaged 95.8 points per game coming in. Lehigh's 37 were the fewest points allowed by the Huskies since 1970.

    Maryland 81, American 55 -- What everyone wants to know from this one is "How did Pauli do?"

    According to the AP story he showed some rust:
    In his first game with the Eagles, 6-11 center Paulius Joneliunas missed his first six shots and finished with two points and two rebounds in 21 minutes. Joneliunas sat out a year after transferring from South Carolina in the middle of last season.
    A game like this is not exactly the one you might schedule if you were tuning up.

    AU has two more non-conference games for Joneliunas to regain a little game feel before league play starts.
