College Hoops Go-Round: January 10

Saturday was the busiest day of the season so far. I don't have every score listed, but this is a pretty comprehensive list.

• In the ACC, No. 20 Georgia Tech stunned No. 5 Duke, 71-67 on a bad day for ranked teams nationwide. Elsewhere, Virginia got a nice 70-62 win at NC State; Boston College was no match for Clemson, who prevailed, 72-56; Wake Forest had a shot to win at the end in Miami, but fell 67-66
• No. 12 Georgetown completed a huge comeback to stun 13th-ranked UConn, 72-69, in the Big East. That wasn't the only close finish. Louisville needed a comeback of their own, though not one quite as big, to top St. John's, 75-68; Marquette rallied, but fell to No. 5 Villanova for the second Saturday in a row, 78-76; Seton Hall finally got a conference win, 83-76, over Cincinnati; and No. 8 West Virginia fell at Notre Dame, 70-68, despite mounting a huge comeback. Elsewhere, Providence stopped Rutgers, 94-81.
• Over in the Big Ten, No. 4 Purdue fell from the ranks of the unbeatens, thanks to a 73-66 loss at No. 17 Wisconsin, while Ohio State also fell on the road, 73-62 at Minnesota. No. 10 Michigan State had no trouble with Iowa, winning 71-53;  but Illinois had to rally to win 66-60 at Indiana. 
• It was a busy day and night of Big 12 openers. No. 2 Texas wore out Colorado, 103-86, but No. 11 Kansas State fell at Missouri, 74-68. Oklahoma State later blew out No. 22 Texas Tech, 81-52. In other games, Texas A&M took out Nebraska, 64-53; Oklahoma lost to Baylor for the first time since 1977, falling 91-60 in Waco;  and Iowa State held off North Dakota State, 73-71, out of the conference.
• It was a mixed day for the Mountain West's two ranked teams. In non-conference action, No. 25 BYU grabbed a nice 83-77 win at UTEP without a sick Jimmer Fredette. Meanwhile, UNLV snapped No. 15 New Mexico's 19-game home win streak, 74-62, sending the Lobos to 0-2 in the league. Elsewhere, San Diego State, who handed UNM their first loss, couldn't move to 2-0. Wyoming beat them 85-83.  Utah won their opener, 64-45, over TCU; and Colorado State is 2-0 as they beat Air Force, 70-48. 
• In the Pac-10, UCLA couldn't sweep the Bay Area schools, as they fell at Stanford, 70-59.  USC was swept, however; as they fell Cal, 67-59.
• League play in the SEC also tipped off on Saturday. Georgia gave No. 3 Kentucky a fight, but the Wildcats were too much in the end, prevailing 76-68; Vanderbilt outperformed Florida in the second half to win their league opener, 95-87; Mississippi State came back to defeat No. 14 Ole Miss, 80-75 South Carolina defeated Auburn, 80-71; and Alabama won at LSU, 66-49.

After the jump. I'll take a look at Saturday's other games and look ahead to Sunday.

There was an amazing amount of action all over the country.

• Boston University topped Hartford, 84-70, in the America East.
• Campbell should hold onto the A-Sun's auto bid in Monday's bracket after beating Kennesaw State, 63-53. They'll stay in because Mercer shocked previously unbeaten ETSU, 83-78; Lipscomb defeated USC Upstate, 80-66
