- The Louisville Cardinals stayed on pace with Georgetown by defeating Villanova 68-54. The win means that the winner of this Saturday’s matchup between the Hoyas and the Cardinals will be the 2008 Big East regular season champion.
- Pittsburgh literally stole a win from Syracuse on Saturday, stunning the Orange with an 82-77 win. Syracuse was winning by one with possession and under 20 seconds left when Paul Harris had then ball taken away by Sam Young, who passed to Keith Benjamin for the go-ahead basket with under 10 seconds. Scoop Jardine’s miss on the ensuing possession along with a technical foul on Coach Jim Boeheim sealed the Orange’s fate.
- It was a wild finish in New York, as the St. John’s Red Storm eked out a victory over Seton Hall to keep their Big East tournament hopes alive. After Jamar Nutter made a three to tie the game, Anthony Mason Jr. responded with a three of his own with 1.7 seconds left to play. A half-court shot by Jeremy Hazell banked in to apparently tie the game, but Seton Hall coach Bobby Gonzales had already called a timeout to nullify his player’s heroics. The stunt could not be repeated, and the Pirates fell to the Red Storm 65-62.
