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).
