(1) Stanford 89,

Recap
Box Score
|
C Jason Collins
25 pts, 8 reb, 3 blocks
Intimidating defensive presence renders UNCG's Nathan Popp invisible.
|
The Spartans hung for about 10 minutes, but the combination of Collins inside and Casey Jacobsen and Michael McDonald outside was too much. UNCG hero David Schuck again led the way with 16 in a losing effort.
|
Stanford: Saturday vs. (9) St. Joseph's
UNCG: Get home in time to watch Duke.

(9) St. Joseph's 66, (8)

Defensively, helped limit Tech's shooters to 3-of-18 3-pointers.

Recap
Box Score
|
Kent St. G Trevor Huffman
24 pts, 6 rebs, 9-19 FGs
Scored 11 of Flashes' final 15 points while the teams battled to the wire.
|
A very even game, both on the scoreboard and the stat sheet, Kent simply made more plays when it counted. In continuing their recent NCAA hex, the Hoosiers wasted 29 points from Kirk Haston.
|
Kent State: Saturday vs. (5) Cincinnati
Indiana: Wonderment over whether Haston, Jared Jeffries and Mike Davis will be back.
|
|

(14) George Mason 80
Recap
Box Score
|
George Mason F George Evans
29 pts, 7 rebs, 11-16 FGs
30-year-old took Terps to the limit but final pass went between his legs.
|
The hot-shooting Patriots (55 percent) had Maryland on its heels, leading 75-74 with 2:08 left. But Maryland played sharp defense and hit free throws in the closing minutes.
|
Maryland: Saturday vs. (11) Georgia St. -- The Lefty Bowl
George Mason: Catch the Boise-D.C. shuttle home

(6) Wisconsin 49
Recap
Box Score

Georgia St. G Daryl Cooper
10 pts, 1 steal
Made key four-point play to cut Badger lead to 49-48; set up winning basket with steal.
|
Wisconsin appeared to be having little trouble early, going up 30-14. Yet despite maintaining the slow tempo, its offense faltered in the second half and the athletic Panthers took advantage.
|
Georgia St.: Saturday vs. (3) Maryland -- The Lefty Bowl
Wisconsin: Time to hire a coach.
|
(10) Georgetown 63,
(7) Arkansas 61
Recap
Box Score
|
Georgetown F Mike Sweetney 10 pts, 12 reb, 2 steals
Keyed the Hoyas' 43-28 rebounding advantage.
|
Basically, a very even game that came right down to the last second, when Georgetown's Nathaniel Burton delivered a driving layup that just beat the buzzer.
|
Georgetown: Saturday vs. (15) Hampton
Arkansas: Going away party for Joe Johnson.
|
(15) Hampton 58,
(2) Iowa State 57
Recap
Box Score
|
C Tarvis Williams
16 pts, 13 rebs, 6 blocks
And he even hit the winning shot -- on a beautiful Marseilles Brown assist.
|
Hampton played beautifully, but the Cyclones also choked big time down the stretch, losing a 55-44 lead. Of course, it would be a different story if Jamaal Tinsely's driving layup at the buzzer had fallen.
|
Hampton: Saturday vs. (10) Georgetown
Iowa State: A few choice words from coach Larry Eustachy.
