Well, if Coach Romar has finally convinced his players to play up to their early-season hype, then good for him. He picked the right time to do so, for sure. But don't think Alford can't coach a little too, since he took a lot of the good . . . and damn little of the bad . . . from Bobby Knight.

8 minutes into the 2nd, WVA spanking Morgan State like a red-headed stepchild. Action's started in the other 2, but no significant change yet.

Cornell still up 10, but plenty of time left for the Owls. X-men up 5, so that's far from over too.
While the subject of the Washington/Marquette game is fresh, lemme make another point: Marquette's loss, plus Notre Dame's and Georgetown's, and with Villanova needing OT to take care of Robert Morris, and couple that with opening-round NIT losses to St. John's, Seton Hall, and South Florida, and also U. Conn edging Northeastern by 2 there . . . well, maybe now you understand why I've been calling this the Big Mouth Conference for years!

Up 14, Cornell is 6 1/2 from a real rarity: An Ivy League win in the NCAAs.

Final: West Virginia 77 - Morgan State 50 = The margin is fine, but seems awfully low-scoring for a 2-15 game.

My friend, I can only quote the great Woody Durham, long-time broadcaster for UNC, who'd always say when the Heels were down late: "Go where you go, and do what you do." It may not help them, but it ain't gonna hurt them either.

Cornell 78 - Temple 65 = Here's one for the books, my brothers.
Xavier 65 - Minnesota 54 = Here's pretty much what one might expect.

Amen to that. Lord, I can't remember how long ago it was that Princeton beat the Hoyas, but it's been a while.

Clemson/Missou tied @ 39 at the break. Purdue outscores Siena 16-3 to open 2nd half and take 10-point lead with 15+ to play.

Siena has some work to do against Purdue in the last 3 minutes. Wofford has tied Wisconsin with 16 1/2 left. Clemson/Missouri a war, back and forth.

Pitt 13 better than Oakland at the break.
