With so many great games yesterday, I figured I should post something this afternoon. But I can't offer you much because I'm overseeing our live coverage of the Eagles-Saints game, including my live running story.
So let's take a look at some of the crazy lines from yesterday's action. For starters, there's pretty much the whole box score from Seton Hall's 112-110 overtime win over James Madison. Among the highlights were 20 points and 10 rebounds from former St. Joe's guard Abdulai Jalloh.
On the local scene, there's Temple's 58-55 win over Eastern Michigan at the Liacouras Center yesterday. Mark Tyndale had the game-winning basket, but Dionte Christmas had (yet again) the best line:

At the other end, Eagles guard (yes, guard) Travis Lewis' effort against the Owls was completely pointless but quite efficient:

La Salle played well in a 93-88 loss to DePaul, and for those of you who had asked what Shannon Ryan's up to these days she covered the Explorers' trip to Puerto Rico for the Inquirer. Darnell Harris had 21 points for La Salle, but the line of the game goes to Blue Demons center Mac Koshwal. And not just because of his cool name:

And finally, there's North Carolina's 105-70 drubbing of UC-Santa Barbara in Chapel Hill. I'm not sure which was more impressive:
-- The frenetic pace of the game, with 87 possessions for UCSB and 84 for UNC;
-- Carolina's 1.24 points per possession on offense;
-- The fact that Tar Heels coach Roy Williams played seventeen players in the 40 minutes;
-- or Tyler Hansbrough's 360-degree dunk in the game's opening minutes, captured on video by the Raleigh News and Observer.
