Yesterday's extremely busy slate was dominated by the NIT Season Tip-Off Regional Finals and the round-the-clock marathon.  On the tournament side of things, four teams punched their tickets to New York.

• In the East Region, No. 9 Duke easily advanced over Charlotte, 101-59. 
• The Blue Devils will face the winner of the West Region, Arizona State, who got all they could handle from TCU.
• No. 12 UConn survived a major scare from Hofstra in the North Region final, 76-67. 
• LSU will be the Huskies' opponent at Madison Square Garden, as the Tigers handled Western Kentucky in the South final, 71-60.

Outside of the NIT, there were games played at just about every moment of the day.  I covered the early morning games in my Tuesday morning recap, but there were so many more.

• Niagara defeated Drexel 76-69 in the 8 a.m start.
• Clemson didn't give Liberty a chance, jumping out to a big lead they never relinquished.
• Northeastern held a 26-20 lead at halftime, but Siena was too much in the 2nd half.  The Saints ended up 59-53 winners. 
• Tulsa had no problem with Arkansas-Little Rock, winning 59-45. 
• No. 20 Georgetown outlasted Temple, 46-45. 
• Binghamton was no match for Pittsburgh, falling 71-46. 
• No. 20 Louisville rolled past shorthanded Arkansas, 96-66. 
• No. 23 Illinois had no trouble with in-state rival Northern Illinois, winning 80-61. 
  
• A strong second half pushed No. 2 Michigan State past Gonzaga, 75-71. 
• A Bill Clark three with 12 seconds left pushed Duquesne past Iowa, 52-50.
  
• In the final game of the marathon, No. 1 Kansas got a major scare from shorthanded Memphis, surviving 57-55. 

In non-marathon action:

• St. John's squeaked by St. Bonaventure in Rochester, 69-68. 
• UNC Asheville was clobbered by No. 10 Tennessee, 124-49. The Vols led 66-14 at the half, and the Bulldogs shot only 7.7% in the opening 20 minutes.  Tennessee set school records in points and assists.
• Georgia wasn't so lucky, as they fell to Wofford, 60-57.
• Iowa State rolled over Drake, 90-70.
• New Mexico won at in-state rival New Mexico State, 97-87. 
• USC did what archrivals UCLA couldn't do the night before, beat a Big West opponent.  The Trojans knocked off UC Riverside by 10.

Wednesday's TV slate after the jump.

You'd expect the day after a college basketball marathon to be quiet, but there are still a few interesting contests.

• Georgia Southern at Florida (Sun Sports/FS South, 7) The Eagles once again make the trip to Gainesville.
• Toledo at Cincinnati (FS Ohio/SNY, 7) Lance Stephenson will hope to score more than the 7 he put up on Monday night against Prairie View.
• Butler at Northwestern (Big Ten, 8)  This game would have been so much better had Kevin Coble stayed healthy.
• Nebraska at St. Louis (FS Midwest/Full Court, 8) 
• Utah State at Utah (the mtn., 8) The first of two WAC at MWC games that make me wish I got this channel.
• Western Carolina at No. 3 Texas (ESPNU, 9) This should be the second easy win for the Longhorns in the CBE Classic.
  
• Texas Southern at Colorado (FSN Rocky Mountain/Full Court, 9) 
• Nevada at UNLV (the mtn., 10) This is the second game of what should be an explosive WAC/MWC doubleheader.
