At halftime, the 1986-87 Temple team - which finished 32-4, got to No. 5 in the polls and was a second seed in the NCAA Tournament - was honored. Chaney didn't want to go onto the court, but was persuaded and appeared to love it. Several players from that team were also there, including Mike Vreeswyk, Howie Evans and Darrin Pearsall.

Ivy Deal

Penn is the only unbeaten team in Ivy League play. Princeton is the only team without a win. The exit polls call this one for Penn.

ACROSS THE COUNTRY

Love those Cougars

Friel Court had its biggest crowd in 22 years as Washington State blew away Washington, 75-47, holding the Huskies 36 points below their average. Washington, 0-6 on the road, played without star freshman Spencer Hawes (ankle).

Free throws again

It is just amazing how many games are being decided by free throws.

Wisconsin was 18 of 21 from the line. Illinois was 14 of 23 in a seven-point loss.

Connecticut still has no good wins after losing, 77-73, in Hartford to Indiana. Huskies were 17 of 28 from the line. Hoosiers were 20 of 21. UConn killed IU on the glass, 38-22, but had just two treys to nine for IU.

Shoot 50 percent, lose by 20

That really should be difficult to do. It is not if you commit 21 turnovers, shoot 1-for-6 from the arc and allow your opponent to shoot 9-for-18 from deep. That is what Boston College, the last team unbeaten in ACC play, did at Clemson. Which is why they got crushed, 74-54.

Best comeback

Alabama trailed Georgia by 11 with 4 1/2 minutes left and won, 78-76, on Ronald Steele's off-balance 15-foot leaner at the

buzzer.

Sort of streaking

Kansas had won 10 straight before losing at Texas Tech, 69-64 . . .

Vanderbilt had lost 28 straight at Rupp Arena. Now the Commodores have won two straight there after beating Kentucky, 72-67. UK had won 11 straight.

Home streaks continue

Like Air Force, Brigham Young has won 26 straight at home. Gonzaga's home streak is 47.
