There are a lot of NCAA Division I teams playing non-D1 teams today, and thus a lot of blowout scores.
But this one takes the cake- UAB 103 Millsaps College 29-

UAB lead 46-9 at halftime, and played their deepest subs nearly the entire 2nd half. That allowed the overmatched Millsaps College team to "rally" with a 20 point second half. Even so, Millsaps had 31 turnovers (most I think I have ever seen), were outrebounded 52-34, shot 19% from the floor and 13% from three.
Millsaps College is a tiny private NCAA Division III college in Jackson, Mississippi with about 985 students.
And speaking of D1 schools clobbering non-D1 opponents, did anyone see this clip from a game Saturday?
The University of Buffalo is pretty good. They were picked #1 in the Mid-American Conference preseason poll and are 6-3 now after their win Saturday against Division III St. John Fisher College (one of Buffalo's wins was over Illinois State). St. John Fisher College is a small private Catholic college in Rochester, NY.
The final score was: Buffalo Bulls 100 St. John Fisher Cardinals 53-

But the big story was about a freshman for SJFC who "went viral".

Connor Williams is a 7' freshman for St. John Fisher College. They list him on their roster at 360 pounds. Check out his bio, he played basketball and football in high school, and had a pretty good high school career- All-Greater Rochester twice, was voted the Monroe County Player of the Year in basketball in 2021, and was named Second-Team All-League in football.

Might that weight be a little low? He is the biggest college basketball player I've ever seen.
Here is a 20 second clip from the game-

Unfortunately, he stepped on a defender's foot, turned his ankle and fell. But he did recover and make a nice assist pass. But he was limited to just 4 minutes of playing time,
The kid does have some skills for a big man. Here are a couple highlight videos of him from his senior season in high school-
