College Hoops Go-Round: November 17

Since I already previewed today's action here, this post will only recap Monday night's games, with the first few contests from the early morning hours on this enjoyable gimmick of a day thrown in for good measure.

The big story of the day was John Wall's debut at Kentucky, and he bailed the Wildcats out against Miami (Ohio), which ended up 72-70 UK.  You can see his game winning shot here.

The other big attraction of the night was regional play in the NIT Season Tip-Off. 

After the jump, I'll have some of the other action from today, including the scores of the first few games of the round the clock marathon.

  • The 24-hour marathon got started with a double OT thriller, as Cal State Fullerton defeated UCLA for the first time, 68-65.  The Titan win snapped the Bruins' string of 37 straight wins over unranked non-conference foes. 
  • St. Mary's had a suprisingly easy time with San Diego State in the 2 a.m. Eastern game, winning 60-58.
  • At 4 a.m., Northern Colorado used a 19-0 run to get ahead of host Hawai'i, whose comeback attempt fell short in the end.
  • St. Peter's blew out Monmouth in the first ever Division I basketball game to start at 6 a.m. local time.
  • Auburn fell to Missouri State, 73 to 62, becoming the second SEC school to fall to the Bears at the JQH Center in as many years, as Arkansas lost there last season.
  • Florida State knocked off Atlantic Sun favorite Jacksonville by 26.
  • Washington State struggled with Eastern Washington, finally prevailing 67 to 61.
  • Indiana also had a closer game than expected, as they beat South Carolina Upstate by 8.
  • Cincinnati also had a rough go of it last night, beating Prairie View 69-62.  Lance Stephenson only had 7 on the night.
  • Rider didn't slip up after their upset of Mississippi State.  They defeated Lehigh 86-71.
  • In a battle of two teams picked to finish near the bottom of their respective leagues, South Florida ran all over Tony Bennett's Virginia, 66-49.  Dominique Jones had 22 to pace the Bulls.
