Some breathing room

Raise your hand if you saw West Virginia's win over Louisville coming? Yeah right.

I honestly believed UConn was going to have to run the table to win the Big East regular-season title outright. That was until West Virginia 79, Louisville 70. Yes, West Virginia the last place team in the Big East went to Louisville and won with each. Wow. That result gives UConn a little wiggle room in its quest for the conference title. If win beats Marquette tonight, the Huskies will lead its closest pursuers by two games in the loss column.

I guess Takisha Granberry, West Virginia's senior guard, is OK after going off for 27 against the Cardinals. On the most recent Big East coach's conference call, West Virginia coach Mike Carey said he feared Granberry would be sidelined with a torn meniscus.

Rutgers managed a 60-47 overtime win over Georgetown even though the Scarlet Knights had 39 (yes that's right 39) points at the end of regulation. The good news for Rutgers outside the victory was the performance from senior Kia Vaughn who had 16 points, 17 rebounds and seven blocks in 40 minutes. But a 39-39 going into halftime? Was the shot-clock broken or what?
