Last night there were 5 games in addition to Providence’s own at Butler that could help boost the Friars’ RPI. The results were about as good as could be asked for at 5-1, including Providence’s fantastic come from behind road win at Butler. Stony Brook took care of Columbia, 70-61, on the road. In a battle of two not very good ACC teams, Florida State defeated Virginia Tech, 86-75, at home. Kentucky had their first true scare of the season against Ole Miss with the Rebels taking the Wildcats to overtime. Kentucky did prevail though, 89-86. Albany edged New Hampshire by the score of 64-62. The only blemish on the night was Boston College who coughed up a 10 point lead with just over 3 minutes remaining in regulation at home to ultimately fall in overtime against ACC foe Pittsburgh, 61-60.
