Panthers 3, Devils 0: Starting a season on a nine-game road trip is tough, but the Devils should be playing better than this. Getting shut out by the listless Panthers doesn't seem like the best statement. Only five more games before the first home game! New Jersey, at 1-3, is off to its worst start since the 2001-02 season. The Panthers' win was their first this season.

Georgetown 84, Notre Dame 82; Pittsburgh 65, Louisville 59: John Thompson III's team showed poise down the stretch and won despite seeing star center Roy Hibbert foul out with only six points. Jeff Green dropped 30 for the Hoyas, who reached their first Big East final since 1996. They'll meet Pittsburgh, who denied Long Island product Rick Pitino -- he went to St. Dominic's High School in Oyster Bay -- the chance to coach Louisville in the final. The Panthers won despite little from Aaron Gray. The finalists both have talented big men, but both can win without top-notch efforts in the paint.

Last Night's Action: Rangers' Bad News Comes in Third (And Threes)
- Panthers 3, Rangers 2: Things seemed to be going OK for the Rangers until the third period. Then, just over three minutes in, two Florida goals within 19 seconds of each other erased the Rangers' two-goal lead. The Panthers broke the tie when Rostislav Olesz scored 11:10 into the final period. The stunned Rangers couldn't recover and lost their fourth straight game. All the losses during the streak have been ugly, and this one was no different. New York had plenty of power-play chances in the first but only scored once, and it happened when Brad Isbister netted one with four seconds remaining. The Panthers committed nine penalties to the Rangers' four but still found a way to win. Call it a preholiday hangover or something else, but the Rangers are in a slump.
With Legends in Attendance, Johnnies Win Again
Earlier this week, Gothamist thought that St. John's win over Louisville was the win of the season for the team. Well, we were mistaken because yesterday they defeated Pittsburgh, 55-50, at Madison Square Garden. The 9th ranked Panthers entered the game as one of three undefeated teams left in the nation, but like the Duke Blue Devils and the Florida Gators, they ended the day with their first loss. The win was reminiscent of better days at St. John's, when the team was once a dominant force in the Big East. Fittingly, the school honored 10 people - Mark Jackson, Chris Mullin, Walter Berry, Lou Carnesecca, Dick McGuire, Alan Seiden, Malik Sealy, Sonny Dove, Tony Jackson and Joe Lapchikas - as Basketball Legacy Honorees. In attendance was Jackson, Mullin, Berry, Coach Carnesecca, and McGuire. The win was the Red Storm's third straight and improves their record to 10-6, 3-2 in the Big East. The 10 wins matches the team total from last season.
Crushed
The Giants provided a miserable end to their season on Sunday. They were thoroughly dominated on both sides of the ball as Carolina humiliated them 23-0. It was the first time a home team had been shutout in the playoffs since 1979.
