Still, the NCAA teams lead the series 32-5 by my count with results from a pair of games from yesterday still not in. Last Labour Day weekend, NCAA teams won 23 of 26 games played. Here are last night's last scores:

Marquette 76, Victoria 65 NCAA All-American, and NBA prospect, Dominic James scored 22 points to guide the Marquette Golden Eagles past the University of Victoria Vikes 76-65 Sunday night in front of a 1000-plus crowd at McKinnon Gymnasium. Despite playing without last year's top five scorers, the revamped Vikes' lineup showed plenty of promise. Marquette, who is projected to be a top 25 team and played in four NCAA tournaments in the past six years, was unable to pull away. Even when Marquette went ahead by 14 late in the third, UVic answered back with a 10-3 run. But in the end James scored six points in the final minute and a half to secure the Marquette victory. Here is Mike Tucker's report from UVic sports information New-look Vikes hang tough with Marquette and here is the report from the Marquette web site complete with a link to the box score Golden Eagles Complete Tour With 76-65 Win Over UVic
