	the Shootout...
Iowa 103, Eastern Michigan 66:  A pretty impressive win, really...
Iowa 90, Southern Illinois 70:  A very impressive win for the title.  SIU
	has but one loss this year...
	
Sunday (12-20):

ILLINOIS 78, Mercer 59:  UI struggled against a bad team (Iowa State beat
	the Bears by 41 two nights earlier)...

Monday (12-21):

MICHIGAN 94, Central Michigan 69:  The Chippewas were outmanned...

PENN STATE 73, Drexel 64:  Pretty easy win for the Lions...

Tuesday (12-22):

North Carolina 84, OHIO STATE 64:  OSU led at the half, but UNC pulled
	away late.  The final score is a bit misleading.  Youth...
Purdue 48, SOUTHWEST MISSOURI STATE 45:  Purdue fought off the stubborn
	5-1 Bears in a game slower than mollasses.  The Boilers were the
	first ranked team to ever venture into Springfield...

Wednesday (12-23):

Missouri 66, Illinois 65 (at St. Louis):  Mizzou blew 10- and 6-point
	second half leads, but managed to hang on by dribbling off the
	last 5.8 seconds...
INDIANA 105, St. John's 80:  A complete blowout.  Where are you, Looie???
Minnesota 87, SANTA CLARA 63:  A shockingly easy win for the Gophers.  UM
	led 53-29 at the break...
TEMPLE 70, Penn State 61:  The Owls seized control midway through the
	second half...
WISCONSIN 108, Detroit-Mercy 86:  Jackson's running game finally takes off...

Saturday (12-26):

TEXAS 89, Illinois 72:  The Longhorns pulled away near the end of the
	first half and never looked back in routing the Illini.  Where's
	the D?...

Sunday/Monday (12-27/28):

INDIANA 90, Butler 48 (INB/Hoosier Classic at Market Square Arena):  IU
	led by 50-15 at one point in this one.  Amazing...
INDIANA 85, Colorado 65:  The Hoosiers pretty much won this one in the
	first half.  Colorado was incredibly sloppy looking...

Sunday/Wednesday (12-27/30):

Michigan 88, Nebraska 73 (Rainbow Classic - Honolulu):  Eric Riley was
	the star as UM shucked the Huskers...
Michigan 79, North Carolina 78:  Jalen Rose's rebound hoop just before
	the horn gave the Wolverines a wild win over UNC in this matchup
	of titans...

Michigan vs. Kansas for the title tonight...

Monday (12-28):

IOWA 91, Texas Southern 70:  A bit of a sluggish win for the Hawkeyes this
	time around...
Penn State 69, TOLEDO 60:  Probably PSU's best win of the year.  Toledo is
	usually tough at home...

Monday/Tuesday (12-28/29):

Penn 64, Northwestern 61 (Lobo Classic - Albuquerque):  A layup by the
	Quakers with 6 ticks left spelled defeat for the Cats...
William & Mary 77, Northwestern 69:  W&M made it a bad, bad trip to
	turquoise country for Northwestern...

Ohio State 85, Oregon State 77 (Far West Classic - Portland):  A nice
	win for the Buckeyes against a tough crowd in Portland...
Ohio State 79, Oregon 75:  The Buckeyes outlasted the 6-5 Ducks to win
	a nice title before another home crowd disadvantage...

Purdue 67, Florida 63 (Sun Carnival Classic - El Paso):  Keady got two monkies
	off of his back by finally defeating both Florida and Lon Kruegar.
	UF led 34-20 in the first half before a 15-0 Purdue run got the
	Boilers back in it.  Purdue almost blew an 11-point second half lead
	before holding on.  Ugly performance by Glenn Robinson.  Frosh
	guard Porter Roberts was impressive...
Purdue 63, TEXAS-EL PASO 61:  Purdue overcame a 9-point first half deficit
	to win, as Matt Waddell's 12-foot J at the horn won it.  The
	homestanding Miners led most of the game.  Purdue's first lead after
	4-2 came at 49-48.  The Boilers led 61-59 and had the ball late,
	but Robinson turned the ball over and UTEP tied it.  Purdue also won
	this tourney back in 1984 by beating the Miners.  UTEP is 7-3 now,
	with two of its losses coming to Purdue and New Mexico State...

Tuesday (12-29):

IOWA STATE 99, Minnesota 65:  Iowa State crushed the Gophers to hand
	Minnesota its first loss of the year.  A surprisingly big loss,
	to be sure...
WISCONSIN 110, Alcorn State 81:  Another big win for Wisconsin against
	another bad opponent...
Marquette 61, ILLINOIS 58:  The Illini dropped their third straight in
	a disappointing home loss to the Warriors...  Marquette led most
	of the game.  No defense at Texas, no offense last night.  Marquette's
	only loss this year came the other night at UNLV...

Tuesday/Wednesday (12-29/30):

MICHIGAN STATE 81, New Hampshire 51 (Olds Spartan Classic):  No problem
	for MSU in this one.  They face Washington State tonight, a team
	that routed Princeton 72-49 to make the title game...
