The Basketball Hall of Fame Showcase had a doubleheader in Phoenix, and both results were noteworthy in part for an individual effort. In the opener, Loyola-Chicago stayed hot by riding a triple-double from Cameron Krutwig (22 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists) to beat sliding Vanderbilt 78-70. The second game saw Saint Mary’s hammer Arizona State 96-56 behind 34 points from Jordan Ford, while the Sun Devils were basically a one-man show as Alonzo Verge Jr. scored 43 points. Saint Mary’s was 16-26 from long range.
Other results of note: Virginia turned back Stony Brook 56-44; Michigan State held off Northwestern 77-72 in Evanston to go to 2-0 in the Big Ten; Dartmouth kept Central Connecticut winless as they beat the visiting Blue Devils 76-60; UNC Greensboro headed north and edged Vermont in a dandy 54-53; VCU rallied from being down by eight at the half to beat College of Charleston 76-71 behind 17 points and 11 rebounds from Marcus Santos-Silva; Syracuse pulled away from Oakland 74-62; Illinois State stormed back to score the final 11 points of the game and nip UIC 67-66; Pacific moved to 11-3 with a 74-66 win at UNLV; and Oregon took care of Montana 81-48 behind a double-double from Francis Okoro (12 points, 17 rebounds).
