Louisville 66, Pitt 53: It was 36-19, Louisville at the half, and Pitt never could fully recover. David Padgett led all Cadinals players with 16 points, in a game that Louisville desperately needed to try and make a case for the tournament (yeah, they have 18 wins, but their resume isn’t very impressive).
West Virginia 53, Georgetown 71: So much for being in the top 25, West Virginia. After climbing in last week with their big win against UCLA, they might have just climbed themselves back out. West Virginia’s leading scorer had ten points, which is never a good sign, especially when the other team has three players who top that total.
Ok. State 54, Texas 83: I watched the first game between these two teams, and I will remember it fondly for quite some time. It was one of the best college basketball games I’d ever seen. Thankfully, I didn’t waste two hours of my life watching the encore. Kevin Durant led Texas in scoring (again) and rebounding (again), and Ok. State was outscored 52-30 in the second half. Mario Bogan did his part, putting in 16 points.
