Texas 72 Kansas 69
Can't fault the Jayhawks too much for losing in an extremely hostile environment against a Top 15 team. Mario Chalmers had a shot to tie it for the Jayhwaks with a last second three (along with about four other treys in the final 2:00 minutes) but came up short as the Longhorns prevailed. The combined efforts of Damion James, who scored 12 points and pulled in 13 rebound all in the second half, and Justin Mason was the difference for the Horns.
Big man: Damion James, 14 points 13 rebounds
Georgetown 55 Villanova 53
If I were a Nova fan, the remote would have gone through the TV tonight. A touch foul was called on Nova about 80-feet from the basket with .01 seconds left, setting up the Hoyas for the game winning free throws. Add this to the NC State loss (similar fashion) and Nova is the offcial Snakebitten Team of 2008.
Big man: Scottie Reynolds, 24 points
Ole Miss 66 Presbyterian 55
The 11-point win over the newbie Blue Hose does little to reverse the Ole Miss freefall
Big man: Curtis, 24 points
Saint Mary's 54 Santa Clara 50
SMC has to live with the Gonzaga-like target in the WCC
Big man: Diamon Simpson, game-winning free throws.

according to kenpom, the wildcats' luck rating is 130th, good for a +.018, much more "snakebitten" teams include Illinois (341st), Missouri (340th) and even Louisville (318th).
Wow, Louisville? Shocked about that one...hasn't seemed to affect them much lately.
yeah, of their 6 losses, 4 were by a combined total of 10 pts (1, 2, 2, & 5).
I watched the end of that Villanova-Georgetown game and the call was absurd. There was just as much contact on Reynolds final drive as there was against the Georgetown player, but in one case they let it go even though he was in scoring position while they call the touch foul where the team has no chance to score. At least against NC State the call was against a someone shooting, not against someone dribbling the ball on the sideline in their own end.
Yep, don't ever trust a Bill Self-coached team.
