Yesterday TCNJ lost a 73-72 game versus #11 Ramapo.

They'll be honoring Mason Rocca in Milan on Sunday.

Kareem Maddox wants Newcastle to take a "business-like" approach leading up to the team's BBL Trophy game.

Richmond coach Chris Mooney was a guest on College Sports Today after Spiders' victory over VCU.

There's more on East Brunswick's win at The Hun School here.

It was Georgetown (14-4) over #5 Louisville, 53-51. The Hoyas did just enough down the stretch. Some think John Thompson III's team is now pointed in the right direction.

Mercer (15-6) ended a two game losing streak with a 63-57 win at Essex. Mustafa El-Amin scored 19 and grabbed 12 rebounds for the Vikings.

Shooting 32.1% as a team, Northwestern (12-9) lost 64-49 at Nebraska.

Washington State tripped up Oregon State (11-9) in Corvallis, 71-68.

Fairfield faces St. Peter's in Jersey City while Richmond looks for a third straight at UMass.

Around the Ivy League: Oh, Dartmouth (4-12 / 0-2). The Big Green actually held a 10 point lead with the ball in the final two minutes at Harvard (10-6 / 2-0) before the Crimson made three shots behind the arc (and were fouled on another) as they rallied to force overtime. Once they took their first lead since 2-0 on a Laurent Rivard trey, Tommy Amaker's team never trailed again. Yale (7-12 / 1-1) also required overtime, getting past Brown (7-9 / 1-1) by a 76-64 final. A three from Brian Barbour at the horn did not drop and Columbia (9-7 / 1-1) went down 66-63 at home against Cornell (9-10 / 1-1).

Craig Robinson thought his photo that went viral earlier in the week was pretty funny.

Lots of action today, starting with Georgetown hosting #6 Louisville while looking for consistency, resurgent Northwestern playing at Nebraska for the first time in 37 years and Oregon State welcoming Washington State.

Tonight Northwestern matches up against Minnesota, their third straight ranked opponent. Denver plays at New Mexico State and Oregon State hosts Washington. All three games are televised nationally if you're looking for some late evening viewing.
