  • Hoyas beat top-seeded Orange in quarters (AP) - Arinze Onuaku crashed to the floor and clutched his right knee, writhing in pain at Madison Square Garden. Suddenly, top-seeded Syracuse had more to worry about than a loss in its Big East tournament opener.

  • WVU downs Cincy on Butler's 3 at buzzer (AP) - The Big East's day of quarterfinal upsets ended with an unlikely long shot.

  • No. 1 Kansas third team to 2,000 wins (AP) -

    Kansas center Cole Aldrich (45) is fouled by Texas Tech forward Darko Cohadarevic (31) during the first half of an NCAA college basketball game at the Big 12 Conference tournament on Thursday, March 11, 2010, in Kansas City, Mo.

    Kansas reached a major milestone, one just two other programs can claim. A nice accomplishment, worthy of the trophy case. There just isn't time for the Jayhawks to enjoy it. Not after struggling against Texas Tech, not with more important goals still out there. Leaning on stars Cole Aldrich and Sherron Collins, No.

"I'm still upset about that one, to be honest with you," Fredette said with a smirk after leading the 14th-ranked Cougars past TCU 95-85 in the...
  • Marquette defeats No. 10 Villanova 80-76 (AP) - Same old story for Marquette. A close game and another win. Same old story for the best teams in the Big East tournament.

  • No. 9 K-State rolls past Oklahoma State (AP) - Kansas State had lost two tough games to Oklahoma State the past two years, the worst one coming at its home gym earlier this season.

  • Irish hold off No. 16 Pittsburgh 50-45 (AP) - Draining the shot clock on nearly every possession and relying on stout defense, Notre Dame is playing its best basketball of the season at the perfect time.

  • Vols struggle in 1st half, then beat LSU (AP) - Tennessee coach Bruce Pearl slowed his Volunteers down against LSU in the opening round of the SEC tournament, hoping to conserve energy with Mississippi waiting in the quarterfinals.

Wayne Chism had 17 points and 11 rebounds, and Tennessee overcame 25.9-percent shooting in the first half -- its worst performance of the season -- to beat the...
  • UTEP avoids upset bug at C-USA tourney (AP) - No. 25 UTEP doesn't just have to rely on Randy Culpepper and Derrick Caracter to keep on winning.

Jeremy Williams scored 17 points, Culpepper added 10 and UTEP beat Central Florida 76-54 for its 15th straight win Thursday night,...
