The Holiday Festival at Madison Square Garden and an ACC doubleheader were the main highlights of a day when much of the East Coast was still buried by snow.

The weather (and probably ticket prices) meant low attendances at the Hoiiday Festival at MSG, which is a shame as both games were highly entertaining.

Cornell rallied to beat Davidson, 91-88 in overtime. The Big Red will meet St. John's in the final Monday (MSG, 9:30 p.m. ET). The Red Storm pulled away from Hofstra late, clinching their berth with a 72-60 victory.  The Pride meet the Wildcats, coached by Hofstra alum Bob McKillop, in the consolation game (MSG, 7 p.m. ET).

In other Sunday action,

  • UCF put up a fight at no. 14 Connecticut, but the Knights fell 60-51, despite holding a five-point lead at halftime.
  • Rhode Island survived a scare from Fairfield, 89-84.
  • Sam Houston State won easily at Auburn107-89.
  • Iowa State had no trouble with Bradley, prevailing 87-68.
  • Charlotte survived their trip to Winthrop, 57-47.
  • Arkansas State beat Arkansas-Little Rock, 69-61, to drop the Trojans to 0-2 in the Sun Belt.
  • Isiah Thomas' FIU Panthers picked up a big Sun Belt win. They won at North Texas, 80-70.
  • Florida State won at no. 22 Georgia Tech in overtime, 66-59.
  • NC State couldn't pull off the sweep for the road teams. They fell at Wake Forest67-59.
