Defend or dethrone

A real College Basketball belt game. Does the holder defend it, or does the challenger take the belt? Holders have defended 71% of the time. Keep your streak alive.

How it works: each round is a real College Basketball belt game, one of 600 drawn from the 2,543 played so far, shown the way it stood beforehand: the date, the holder, the challenger, home or road. Call it, defend or dethrone, and the result, the score and a link to that season follow. The belt has changed hands 743 times in those games, so guessing "defend" every time gets you 71%; the point is to beat that. Your streak and your best run stay on this device.
