College Hoops Go-Round: January 25

While Sunday was a relatively quiet day on the college basketball schedule, two Top 25 teams fell, and one needed overtime to beat the worst team in their conference.

Chris Singleton scored a career-high 23 to lead Florida State to a 68-66 victory over 19th-ranked Georgia Tech in the only ACC game on the schedule.

In the Big EastSeton Hall upset No. 9 Pittsburgh, 64-61Louisville snapped a three-game losing streak by beating Cincinnati, 68-60.

No. 18 Wisconsin needed overtime to defeat winless Penn State79-71, in the Big Ten game of the day. Iowa won their first conference game, beating Indiana on the road, 58-43.

Outside of the major conferences...

Maine now has sole possession of the America East lead. That's because Vermont lost 73-67 at Binghamton. Stony Brook moved to 6-2 with a 67-61 win over Albany, while Boston University reached that same mark with a 79-61win at still winless UMBC.

The two bottom teams in the A-Sun picked up wins. Kennesaw State beat Stetson, 75-59, while Florida Gulf Coast defeated Mercer, 71-70, to keep the Bears from joining the group that's a game behind Campbell in the conference.

Green Bay is 7-3 in the Horizon after they defeated Youngstown State, 69-55. Cleveland State moved to 5-4 by edging Milwaukee, 73-72.

Siena picked up their 10th straight MAAC win, beating Manhattan 66-58, without the services of the injured Edwin Ubiles. Fairfield and Iona are tied at 7-3 after the Gaels beat the Stags, 68-58. St. Peter's joins them after they topped Canisius, 68-55.

Northern Iowa rebounded from their first MVC loss of the season. The Panthers defeated Indiana State, 67-58, in Terre Haute. Creighton sent Missouri State to their fifth loss in their last seven, beating the Bears 76-72.

Georgetown at Syracuse, 7 p.m. ET (ESPN): The rivalry that helped make the Big East kicks off a huge week for the Hoyas, who face Duke at home Saturday afternoon. The Orange are hoping to play a bit better tonight than they did at the end of Saturday's win over Marquette.

Delaware State at Coppin State, 7 p.m. ET (ESPNU): Fang Mitchell's Eagles are looking for their first MEAC win, but they'll be tested by a Hornet team that sits two games behind leader Morgan State.

Boise State at Idaho, 11 p.m. ET (ESPNU): These two have managed to win a total of one WAC game so far.
