Texas 77 Texas A&M 50
If it wasn't for UConn, Texas would be the hottest team in America . With wins over UCLA, Kansas and Tennessee, the Longhorns still have an outside shot at a #1 seed. And DJ Augustin is making a serious push for first team All-American
Big man: Augustin, 27 points
Xavier 81 Rhode Island 77
The Muskateers all but wrap up the A-10 with this road win. Rhody doens't have an impressive win since December.
Big man: Josh Duncan, 23 points
LaSalle 90 Saint Joseph's 89
I'm chalking this one up as one of the most shocking results of the season. The Explorers have some young talent, but I never thought they would knock off Saint Joe's at the Palestra in late February. Devastating loss for SJU's tournament resume.
Big man: Darnell Harris 21 points
Louisville 60 Syracuse 51
Cards have gone form giant disappointment to Big East co-leader. Cuse can go back to the bubble now.
Big man: Terrence Williams, 12 points
Georgetown 68 Providence 58
Much needed road win for the Hoyas
Big man: Hibbert 18 points, 8 rebounds
Longwood 96 NJIT 78
Oh Lord...... at 0-28, NJIT has just one more game to avoid the winless season.
Didn't get to link this yesterday, but here are some fantastic pics from the Cuse-Gtwon floor storming by reader Rob K. But as much as we love a good floor stormin' here at STF, and as much as I support Syracuse (sister is a senior there), I got call a foul on the Syrcuse fans for a) storming the floor against Gtown on a non-buzzer-beater and b) rushing with 2.0 seconds left on the clock. You're better than that Cuse fans...

This says this was posted at 7:32AM, but I'm pretty sure my clock right now says it is 2:25AM, and I am confused. Is this like Lost - is there a break in the time-space continuum where STF is posted? Are you posting from the Lost island? Or England? Is England the Lost island? I demand answers.
That would be a really cool explanation, but the fact is, you can put any old time stamp on these that you want - all it does is cause them to appear in a certain order, but you can post at midnight, and tell the computer to tag the post for 7:20 am if you want.
What is madness is that Xavier was +2 last night against that RI team that peaked in 2007. Xavier is making a strong case for a top 3 seed and if they run the table that should be a 2.
I'm a big fan of posting from the future....
Also worth mentioning about Syracuse is that not only was the game itself not floor storm worthy, but can a team that is less than 5 years removed from a national championship and has a reasonable expectation of returning really be allowed to storm a court? I say no.
As a die-hard Xavier fan I cannot let this slide. It's spelled Musketeers. Not Muskateers. Go X!
