As there was a lot of action yesterday, I couldn't list every score here. If you don't see your school's game, click on any of the score links. You'll find a rundown of all of Saturday's action on the right side of the page.

Sunday is a bit quieter, with only two ranked teams on TV. Both face intracity rivals.

• No. 3 Villanova visits Temple (CBS CS, 3) in another Big Five test.
• No. 19 Cincinnati also heads across town to face Xavier (ESPNU, 7) in what is always an entertaining battle.

Also on TV today:

• Western Michigan at Illinois (Big Ten, 2)
• Green Bay at Oakland (FS Detroit/FCS Atlantic/Full Court, 4:30)
• Rhode Island at Boston College (FSN, 6:45): The Eagles look to rebound from their loss to Harvard.
