2/12 College Hoop Headlines

Football is done, so all eyes are on college basketball as we are about halfway through conference play this season. The Sports Scene will be your March Madness Central for the fifth straight season this year, as we will exclusively cover the NCAA Tournament next month, with the Final Four in my hometown of Houston this year.

Here's a look at yesterday's biggest games.
#14 Wisconsin 71, #1 Ohio State 67
The Badgers rallied from a 12-point second half deficit, and rode its hot three-point shooting (12 of 24) to upset the undefeated Buckeyes in Madison.
#4 Pittsburgh 57, #10 Villanova 54
In a typical Big East slug fest, the Panthers got 21 points from Brad Wannamaker and edged the short-handed Wildcats by 3. With the impressive road win, Pitt extended its lead in the Big East to two-games over #7 Notre Dame.
#15 Louisville 73, #13 Syracuse 69
In a game that was not as close as the final score indicated, the Cardinals got 23-points from Kyle Kuric and 22 from Preston Knowles to send the Orange to their 6th loss in their last 8.
#24 Vanderbilt 81, #18 Kentucky 77
Vandy's John Jenkins scored a career-best 32 to help the Commodores jump the Wildcats in the competitive SEC-East standings.
