Vanderbilt 72 Tennessee 69
UT’s reign at #1 lasted approximately 29 hours, falling to Vandy in an upset that isn’t all that surprising when you factor in the rivalry plus the Memphis hangover. The elements (#1 team on the road, conference supremacy, in-state rivalry, private vs. public school, 14 technical fouls) involved in this one made it at the very least as intense as the Memphis-Tennessee game was. Vandy takes the lead as this seasons’s Oregon/Florida team (something that needs a better name, if anyones got any suggestions)
Big man: Shan Foster 32 points
Missouri State 86 Drake 83
Could go either way with this one. Drake haters will point out that the Bulldogs have lost three of four in the Valley. I’ll lean towards the fact that the young Valley is vastly improving and that the Bulldogs have a gigantic target on their backs. Floor storming by Missouri State students well deserved.
Western Michigan 56 Northern Illinois 49
Just great to see NIU back in action for the first time since the tragedy.
Indiana 72 Ohio State 69
Dakich has mastered the three-point victory.
Big man: Bassett, 23 points
BYU 70 New Mexico 69 (OT)
Cougars lock up bid, Lobos remain on outside looking in
Big man: NM’s J.R. Giddens, 30 points

I have pictures on my cell phone from when my friends and I broke into Vandy's gym, yes broke into it, last Spring. If I thought charges couldn't be pressed against us for being in the Men's Basketball Locker Room and me hanging on the rim, I'd send them along.
Great gym. Lovely ladies at the bars in the surrounding area.
I noticed that there was better-than-average female representation in the crowd shots on ESPN. If the rest of them are like that, woo hoo.
My buddy and I have a theory - for televised games, schools bias the ticket allotment so that more girls get into the game than guys. He and I have yet to get tickets to more than one game this year in Chapel Hill, yet girls who respond with "some red team, and some blue team" when you ask what tickets they got go to games all the time.
