This week in college basketball has seen
a few upsets as well as blowouts. In theßig
East, number 18 Georgetown, which has
been somewhat sluggish of late, dispatched
any Hoya critics with a 59-53 win over St.
John's, the fifth-ranked team in the coun
try. The amazing fact about this game was
that Georgetown made just seven field
goals in the second half and managed to
beat the Redman and deny coach Lou
Carnesecca his 500 th victory.
Also in the Big East, Villanova upset
number 19 Pittsburgh with the help of
Wildcat Greg Woodard's career-high 33
points.
Indiana, the number four team in the
nation and the second-place club in the
tough Big Ten trashed Wisconsin 73-57 to
set up Thursday's battle between unde
feated Ohio State and Michigan State for
the top spot in the conference.
Number two Arkansas survived an early
scare by the University of Alabama-Bir
mingham and went on to crush their oppo
nents 104-72 as Todd Day scored 33 for
the Razorbacks.

defeated Shaquille O'Neal and number 14
LSU by a score of 82-79. And in the Big
Eight, football powerhouse Nebraska
demonstrated that it has basketball ability
as the 11th ranked Cornhuskers beat Mis
souri 89-75.
And now on to the ACC. The Virginia
Cavaliers on Tuesday handed N.C. State
its worst loss since the 1968-69 season.
UVa's victory moved the 'Hoos into
second place in the conference behind
Duke. Virginia guard John Crotty tied a
school record with 14 assists to wrap up
another uneven game in the ACC.
Wednesday night brought the Yellow
Jackets of Georgia Tech face to face with
the Duke Blue Devils. The Jackets hoped
to avenge their 41-point loss to the Devils
on January 9 with the help of guard Kenny
Anderson. The game was close even though
Tech coach Bobby Cremins threatened to
take his team off the court after some over
zealous Tech fans threw ice on the floor.
With the score knotted up at 75, Duke
guard Bobby Hurley made a beautiful pass
to Thomas Hill for the layup and the win
for Mike Krzyzewski's top-ten team.
With that last-second shot at Atlanta's
"Thriller Dome," this week in college
basketball ended on an exciting note.
