Cupid broke the hearts of some ranked teams

#7 Ohio State 77 Penn State 63 - 26 for Alston to lead the Buckeyes
Nebraska 73 #17 Michigan State 66 - Shepard and Romeo both with 25+ for the Cornhuskers
Indiana 67 Wisconsin 57 - Hoosiers a surprising 9-5 in B1G
Michigan 68 Purdue 61 - both tied at 7-7 in B1G
Other RU Opponents
#1 Connecticut 85 Temple 60 - actually within reach until the 4th
#10 Florida State 94 North Carolina 63 - Tar Heels in danger of not qualifying for postseason at all
Seton Hall 60 Villanova 50 - close until the 4th
St. John's 63 Georgetown 55 - Red Storm 2nd in Beast behind DePaul
Tulane 76 Southern Methodist 64 - not as close as it looks
Virginia 61 Boston College 50 - Cavs tied with North Carolina in ACC
Missouri 69 Arkansas 48 - kind of a big game for both teams
Georgia 58 LSU 47 - Bulldogs have won 5 in a row
Other Ranked Teams
#3 Notre Dame 90 #19 Miami 69 - Irish 12-0 in ACC
#21 Oklahoma 74 #6 Texas 56 - pretty big upset
#8 Oregon State 72 Utah 53 - Beavers in control all the way
#9 Arizona State 63 #13 Stanford 61 OT - big 4th quarter comeback by Cardinal was in vain
#14 UCLA 63 Washington 59 - closer than I would have guessed
Auburn 80 #16 Florida 58 - not as big an upset as it might appear
#18 Kentucky 71 Vanderbilt 55 - Wildcats just .500 in SEC
#23 DePaul 102 Butler 63 - *only* a 25 point game after 3rd
Also - checking in on the Colonial
Drexel 66 North Carolina Wilmington 60 - Dragons break mini 2-game losing streak
James Madison 57 Hofstra 42 - 11 game winning streak for Dukes
Delaware 69 William & Mary 53 - Blue Hens basically set the margin in the 1st half
Northeastern 67 Elon 61 - close 'til the end
Towson 62 Charleston 51 - neither team going anywhere
Fresno State 65 Nevada 56 - not CAA, but needed to be reported anyway
Standings:
1. James Madison 11-1/18-5
2. Hofstra 9-4/18-6
3. Drexel 8-4/13-11
4. Elon 8-5/15-9
5. Delaware 7-5/13-11
6. Northeastern 5-7/10-14
7t. William & Mary 4-8/13-11
7t. Charleston 4-8/9-14
9t. North Carolina Wilmington 3-10/7-17
9t. Towson 3-10/6-18
Basically the only team with any shot at an at large bid is James Madison, but the Dukes probably will win the CAA tournament.
