Games 510-511: Saturday afternoon doubleheader

511 - Eastern Washington at Portland State

Portland State's got a very impressive freshman on its roster and we were able to witness Holland Woods' finest collegiate game on Saturday.

Woods scored a career-high 29 points on a perfect 10-of-10 shooting from the field as the high-scoring Vikings (fourth nationally in scoring) snapped a three-game losing streak with a 94-81 victory.

The 6-0 guard's field goal performance, which included a number of impressive drives and tough finishes at the rim, set a school record for most field goals made on a perfect shooting day; the old record was seven set by several players. Woods, who added nine assists and didn't commit a turnover, came into the day averaging 10.2 points, but nearly tripled that mark.

510 - Florida Gulf Coast women at Jacksonville

In a battle of the league's top two teams, Florida Gulf Coast moved to 7-1 with the season sweep of Jacksonville (6-2), winning 65-63.

More importantly, play-by-play man Joe Mixie said some things and I want to type them out here so we can all get a better look.

Talking about FGCU after the final buzzer sounded

"They take back first place [pause] they never lost it, but they'll keep it."

On Jacksonville coach Yolett McPhee-McCuin

"If you're coach Yo, you're not gonna be happy with any opportunity that Florida Gulf Coast has to score."

Describing Florida Gulf Coast when it was down 44-40 just two minutes into the second half

"FGCU has dealt with adversity before, they'll have to deal with a four-point deficit now."

Miscellaneous Nonsense

"This game gets closer and farther apart, but the attitudes remain the same."

"Most of the balls that have been thrown up there in the first half have been around the glass."
