A night of no upsets; also, no OT games so far (and the two that are still ongoing do not look like candidates for free basketball).

Northwestern 87 Santa Clara 84 - Hoosiers led by Gassion with 15 and 20


Other RU opponents

Elon 79 East Tennessee State 51 - Phoenix in control pretty much all the way
Maine 77 Bryant 52 - not out of reach until the 4th

[Knight Time Fan]

I'm not here to make your life miserable - but

- 2nd loss for the Wildcats. Disturbing - not that I expected them to be great, but the other loss was a late lay-up. This was a pasting from (arguably) the best team we played so far.

- Only Wisconsin and Rutgers are done with the OOC in the Big 10. Both schools you cite have another tilt, in fact I think Purdue gets IUPUI.

That's what I get for relying on the record that ESPN shows under the team's name.
