Much of the action last week took place in Hawaii, where Oklahoma ended up winning the Diamond Head Classic over Harvard. It was a great opportunity for a few teams to make a statement. New Mexico failed to do so, going 0 for 3 on the trip. Northern Iowa stumbled a couple times too and, while they are a good team that will compete for a MVC title, they have a long way to go. BYU salvaged their trip after a tough overtime loss to Harvard by beating both UNM and UNI. But the big winners were Harvard, a team that we thought may struggle in the Ivy League this year, and Oklahoma. The Sooners are now 11-0 and we will not have to wait long to see who will be chasing who in the Big 12. OU begins conference play against Iowa State and Kansas.
