Saturday Roundup

Bracket Busters kicked off last night, and those lucky enough to get ESPN U (damn you comcast) got to see an excellent game out in Reno as Nevada went on an 18-5 run in the final five minutes to overcome a nine point deficit. Luke Babbitt hit a free throw with 1.8 seconds left to put Nevada up four, which ended up being really important because Joey Rodriguez hit a 75 footer at the buzzer. Babbitt and Brandon Fields both went for 15, while Armon Johnson and Malik Cooke had 13 each for the Wolfpack. Eric Maynor had 28 to lead VCU.

The other game was not quite as interesting, as Niagara used an early 14-0 run to open up a 20-6 lead over Illinois State. Tyrone Lewis had 19 and Bilal Benn went for 17 and 11 for the Purple Eagles.

I'm not going to post the entire schedule of games for today, but here is the schedule for Bracket Busters. The games I recommend watching: Butler at Davidson at noon, Northern Iowa at Siena at 3, and Utah State at St. Mary's at 5.

As far as non-Bracket Buster games go, there isn't all that much. Marquette plays Georgetown at 2, Louisville plays Cincinnati at 2, and Oklahoma heads to Texas tonight at 9.

Be sure to come by today, as we will be blogging away the Saturday once again.
