OAKLAND UPENDS CHICAGO STATE, 80-60--goldengrizzlies.com
The TV networks try to inject some intrigue into this time with happenings like the ACC/Big Ten Challenge. And the event does have some excellent games, but the truth is the novelty of most of this event wore off long ago. Duke and Michigan State already play every few years in the not-so-modestly named Champions Classic, Indiana and Purdue face Notre Dame regularly in the Crossroads Classic. How many more games do these teams need to play against each other? Also: why should we buy the idea that Georgia Tech playing Penn State or Rutgers facing Miami (Fla.) is a big deal just because of their conference affiliations?Valparaiso picks up key non-conference win over No. 21 Rhode Island--College Basketball Talk
(Prime example of this: last night a top 25 team-Rhode Island-played on the road against a Valparaiso team that was a notable snub from the NCAA Tournament last year and very rarely gets to host top 25 teams.

Side Dishes:
Valparaiso has had a heck of a last eight days, posting a 4-0 record that included three name-brand wins. The Crusaders won the MGM Grand Main Event tourney last week by defeating Alabama and BYU, and now Valpo has its first win at home over a ranked team since a 1988 win over Notre Dame dubbed the Lutheran Miracle by then-coach Homer Drew. The Crusaders topped No. 21 Rhode Island 65-62, with Alec Peters again playing at an All-American level with 27 points, nine rebounds and a blocked shot on the Rams’ final tying three-point attempt. Great win for Valpo, and a great test for URI as well.
