Tuesday Morning Shootaround

It's going to be a brief shootaround today as we are trying to rest our legs from a long one last night. Scores you need to know about:

  • UConn 99, Hartford 56 - Hartford made it interesting for a while, cutting the lead to 43-42 at one point in the second half, but that's when the Huskies really turned it on. They closed with a 56-14 run. AJ Price did not play (ankle), but the Huskies got 60 points, 10 assists and 5 steals from Craig Austrie, Kemba Walker, and Jerome Dyson.
  • Davidson 99, James Madison 64 - The Stephen-Curry-at-point experiment is going pretty well thus far: through two wins he is averaging 31 ppg, 9.5 apg, 6.5 spg, and just 2.5 t/o's. 
  • Pitt 82, Miami OH 53 - Levance Fields had 12 and 12 and the Panthers used a 16-2 run to start to second half to blow open a close one.
  • Georgetown 71, Jacksonville 62 - Monroe had 14 and 7 and Chris Wright went for 16, 5 boards, and 4 dimes as the Hoyas held on against a scrappy Dolphins team.
  • Siena 82, Boise State 52 - Boise State was an NCAA tournament team last year, and the Saints smacked them from the tip. Hasbrouck had 20 and 6 boards.
  • UAB 64, Santa Clara 61 - Robert Vaden had 23 and 9 and the Blazers battled back from down nine midway through the second half to win. John Bryant, the Santa Clara center who was stabbed in the off-season, had 17 and 15.
  • St. John's 86, Cornell 75 - The Big Red were missing Adam Gore and Louis Dale, but still made it interesting. The Johnnies got 25 from Anthony Mason Jr. and 22 from DJ Kennedy.
  • Loyola (IL) 74, Georgia 53 - Yea, the SEC is bad. 
  • Oakland 82, Oregon 79 OT - Oakland got 32 from Johnathon Jones, including 10 in overtime, as the Grizzlies beat the Ducks. Oregon has not looked good so far, losing to Oakland and barely beating Northern Colorado.
Best of the night:
  • Chad Tomko, UNC-Wilmington - Tomko had 33 and 9 dimes in a win against Troy.
  • Dante Cunningham, Villanova - Cunningham had 31 and 11 as the Wildcats smacked Fordham 107-68.
  • Tyrone Kent, Toledo - Toledo lost to Xavier, but Kent had 37 points.
  • James Anderson, Oklahoma State - Anderson had 28 and 8 boards in a 100-88 win over North Texas.
  • Wesley Matthews, Marquette and David Holston, Chicago State - Holston had 33, but Matthews led the Eagles to a win with 26 and 9 boards.
  • Blake Griffin, Oklahoma - 20, 19, and 6 steals. Beast.
  • Patty Mills, St. Mary's and Paul George, Fresno - Mills had 27 points, 5 assists, and 6 steals while George led Fresno with 25 and 10
