Not nearly as good a day in the B1G/ACC challenge as yesterday, but good enough to get the overall win
Big Ten
Ohio State 67 #2 Louisville 60 – maybe the biggest upset of the year so far
#8 Florida State 78 #19 Michigan State 68 – Seminoles overcame 5-point halftime deficit
#13 North Carolina State 66 #9 Maryland 59 – 18-9 3rd quarter was the difference
#24 Michigan 84 Syracuse 76 OT – best game of the night
North Carolina 85 Illinois 60 – darned Tar Heels are 7-0
Georgia Tech 60 Wisconsin 41 – Badgers still have no road wins*
Virginia Tech 67 Purdue 54 – Baptiste had 13 and 12 for the Hokies
Penn State 78 Pittsburgh 73 – Nittany Lions led by 12 at the half and held on
The B1G wins the challenge 9-5
*Even though GT is an RU opponent, not the result we wanted because it hurts the conference RPI.
Other RU opponents
South Dakota State 94 Coppin State 41 – 28-4 1st quarter; ouch
Vanderbilt 75 Tennessee Tech 61 – Fasoula had 23 and 11 for the Commodores
Other ranked teams
#4 Connecticut 92 Seton Hall 78 – not a bad showing for the Pirates, really
#18 Gonzaga 70 Montana State 55 – Townsend had 16 to lead the Bulldogs
Also
East Tennessee State 67 Wake Forest 60 – Demon Deacons missed the challenge, but lost anyway
Iowa State 75 Alabama 66 – Cyclones now 6-1
Missouri 83 St. Louis 58 – Mizzou’s not so good, but clearly better than the Billikens
Louisiana Tech 79 McNeese 54 – Lady Techsters 5-2; maybe a threast in C-USA
