#11 West Virginia 75 Butler 68 - close most of the way
#12 Tennessee 101 #20 Marquette 99 OT - game of the day

Actually, DePaul lost, 89-84, as you say, in overtime. I too had trouble figuring out who won - first, ESPN appeared to say it was DePaul, then I saw on another message board that it was FGCU so I actually went to DePaul's web site.

On a separate note, regarding Vanderbilt - that was at GW, as they are hosting the tourney due to hurricane damage in the Virgin Islands. Ouch.

And I too hope you and yours had a wonderful Thanksgiving Day!

I got the score from ESPN, before they fixed it. I've corrected it above.

Interestingly, ESPN reflected the incorrect score in the teams' records, too, so it was wrong all the way around.
