A very big rivalry in the Big East between Villanova and Georgetown was not as expected. The game was suppose to be a very good game where both teams would battle. Both teams are in the top ten of the polls. Villanova is the number two team in the country and Georgetown is number eight. Georgetown led the whole game with a double digit lead for almost all forty minutes of the game. It was not as good of game as expected. Villanova was upset 103 to 90 and Austin Freeman led all scorers with twenty five.
Another upset that occurred Friday was between Illinois and Michigan State. Michigan State is ranked number five in the country but there star player Kalin Lucas did not play because of injury. Illinois is not ranked in the top twenty five but the Illini were ready to play. ESPN's college game day was at the game so that could of been a motivator for the Illini's excellent play. The Illini didn't win by much but they played hard an came out with the victory upsetting the number five team in country 78-73.
The number ten team in the country Texas, traveled to Oklahoma to try and get a win. They would not find it there. Texas formally a number one team has not been playing very good basketball. They were one of three unbeaten teams in the country. Now they have lost four out of there last six games, two games were against unranked opponents. Oklahoma pulled out the upset with the final score being 71-80. Tommy Mason-Griffin Oklahoma's guard led all scores with twenty four points, he also hit five three pointers.
