  • Knicks 102, Timberwolves 94: If the Knicks want to make the playoffs, they'll have to win games like this one. Wilson Chandler had 24 points and 12 rebounds. David Lee posted yet another double-double (12 and 13) and Nate Robinson had 25 points and seven assists. He continues to get to the line -- he made 14-of-17 attempts. The Knicks' position in the conference doesn't look too good, but they are on the cusp of the playoffs. If they keep on winning, stranger things have happened.
  • Louisville 69, Villanova 55: Rick Pitino hasn't done too well at his hometown tournament. The New York native and product of St. Dominic's High School in Oyster Bay has seen Louisville have some short stays at the Big East Tournament in his tenure. At halftime of this one, it seemed as if the Cardinals were due for another early exit. But they came back against Jay Wright's Villanova team and advanced to the final. The quest for a No. 1 seed is very much alive.
  • Syracuse 74, West Virginia 69 (OT): Only one overtime? Ridiculous! One night after playing six overtimes against Connecticut, Syracuse snuck by West Virginia in one. Jim Boeheim has five titles at the Big East Tournament. He'll try to No. 6 Saturday.
