Both # 6 Purdue and # 11 UNC won last night, guys - but you should know that already. The Tar Heels had an easy time with Gardner-Webb, winning 93-72, though they still had too many turnovers and missed too many from the stripe. The Boilermakers had a tougher time with # 9 Tennessee, edging them 73-72, so I called that one above - a good matchup. All the other games involving ranked teams we 20+ point blowouts. And FYI that other good game I predicted was a fun one too, as unranked opponents DePaul and St. Joe's duked it out all evening. The game was tied @ 49 under 3 minutes, and DePaul took the lead for good with 50 ticks left, holding on for a 58-51 victory.

Already today # 24 Vanderbilt has beaten Chaminade 68-41, while # 5 Kentucky has a slim early lead on Cleveland State. The other "big" games tonight:

# 3 Texas vs. Pittsburgh - This could easily be the best game.
# 8 West Virginia vs. The Citadel
# 10 Syracuse vs. Cornell
# 17 Ohio St. vs. Lipscomb - This could easily be the worst.
# 20 Illinois vs. Wofford - Or this.
# 21 Maryland vs. Cincinnati - Hmmmmmm. Can the Bearcats sneak up on the Terrapins?
# 23 Notre Dame vs. Kennesaw St.

As always, enjoy the games.
