Just three conference finals tonight, but one huge upset (and it couldn't have happened to a nicer pair of coaches)
Big Ten
None
Other RU opponents
#17 DePaul 59 St. John's 41 - more or less over after 29-13 1st half
Bucknell 75 Loyola (MD) 72 - Bison get American next, and host semis and finals in Patriot
Other ranked teams
*#1 Connecticut 100 South Florida 44 - least suspenseful championship game of the season
*West Virginia 77 #2 Baylor 66 - wow; may shake up top seeds in the tourney**
Marquette 72 #23 Creighton 65 - Marquette was at RPI 32 before this game; I say the Golden Eagles are in the NCAAs regardless of BEast final result
**More on this game: This really was a blowout - the Mountaineers led by 21 after 3 quarters, and the Bears never got closer than 7 in the 4th. Their last lead in the game was with around 5-1/2 minutes left in the 1st quarter.
Also
*Quinnipiac 81 Rider 73 - 3rd bid in last 5 years for the Bobcats
