Not quite sure how #2 Illinois had to travel to #7 Boston University for their game, but it looks like they had absolutely no interest in making the trip. BU is up by 17 with about 3 minutes left in the first half at Agannis Arena.

BU is up by 17 with about 3 minutes left in the first half at Agannis Arena. Illinois' arena was being used so they didn't have anywhere to host. Also we should be rooting very hard for Vermont to beat Georgia and Iona to beat Louisiana Tech so that if we get past FSU we can host again. |

St. John's got Lavined by Robert Morris last night. At some point, the Johnnie fans will tire of watching teams that won't get up for games that seem to have little consequence. Last night was a Lavin classic. It's bad enough to lose to Bob Morris (although even mighty Kentucky can feel that pain), but to trail by 20 at home? I don't think that was the Miami Heat disguised in Robert Morris uniforms.

Damn. No more home games for 2014. Both Iona and Vermont collapsed big time late.

The higher seed in 13 of the 16 first round NIT games won. And two of the "upsets" were 5s (Belmont and LSU) over 4s. The other upset was of course #1 seed SJU.
