Did Milwaukee really beat UC Irvine by 54-37 this afternoon? http://www.foxsports.com/college-basketb...e?id=92469

And if so, how on earth did that happen? Irvine limited to 37 points??

Was the game played outdoors in a South Dakota blizzard? Did the teams rely on the New England Patriots equipment manager to inflate the basketballs?? There's got to be a story here.

UC Irvine also lists this score on their website. http://ucirvinesports.com/sports/m-baskb...7/schedule

So it's apparently real. But how did they post weak DIII numbers? Suspensions? Illness?

Looking at the UC Irvine message board, there was apparently nothing irregular about the contest. http://bigwest.yuku.com/sreply/136401/Re...DoM5YWcGM8

Just a historically bad team performance.

Somebody is likely to be historically ticked off their next game.
