Yale vs. Brown - 7:00 pm ET
What a rough night.
First there was the Northwestern (8-6) game. The Wildcats had a 13 point halftime lead against Purdue and an 11 point lead with under eight minutes remaining. That advantage was incrementally widdled away as Northwestern habitually split their trips to the foul line. The Boilermakers won 63-61 on two free throws with two seconds left. Argh.
As that contest was finishing, Oregon State (6-9) was going to overtime versus Washington State, despite not trailing in the second half. The Beavers would fall 61-57.
Not to be outdone, Denver (7-10) could not hold a 21 point halftime lead at North Texas, as the Mean Green rallied for a 69-62 win. It tied the largest comeback in North Texas history.
