Clinical performance by Southampton on #UniversityChallange this week β Bath are a fine team and acquitted themselves well, but against this sort of opposition points are hard to come by. I doubt 70 will be enough to come back, but anything is possible. Highest scorer this time was Ben HβK with 5.

Congratulations to UCL! For the second week in a row on #UniversityChallenge, 210β170 with winning team on 2, 3, 2 and 4 starters respectively, while the opposing team's captain managed 6 starters. All is not lost yet for SOAS by definition, but 170 *should* be enough to see them again.

Figure I might get back to this on the better website. Stats below for tonight's incredibly close #UniversityChallenge match featuring for the first time ever 8 people all of whom I know and hold very dear. A pity one of yous had to win but a commendable effort from all. Hope to see Sheffield again!
