Lots of talk about Miami having a massive downturn, and it looks to be accurate. St. Francis is not a good team, and losing in OT to a cupcake on the same night you unfurl your ACC Regular Season and Tournament Champs banners...well, that's just embarrassing. I was really hoping for Georgetown to pull off the upset, but awful shooting from three (1-15) really hamstrung them. Joshua Smith was damn good, though. 25 points and 4 rebounds, he'll be a load. 'Nova struggled a bit early, but put it together in the second half. Best win of the night for the Big East was definitely Providence, who saw off an improved BC team in overtime. Bryce Cotton played all 45 minutes and scored 28, including 7 in OT during a 10-3 run to end the game.

UW shot 11 fro 23 from 3. Creighton also made 11 3s.....................

UW also gave up 58% shooting inside the arc to St. John's. That game is going to come down to how well MU can score inside the arc vs. how well UW shoots outside the arc.

Wisconsin looked very good when I watched them in the first half. Went to the basket off the dribble more than any UW team I can remember under Bo Ryan since Devin Harris played. UW's strength is depth and experience in the backcourt and MU will have to improve in that area.

UMass beat BC today, who lost to PC.
