Wednesday News:
Richmond vs. St. Joe's - 7:00 pm ET
Northwestern (16-11) fell in overtime to #11 Michigan for the second straight time. Highlights from the (agonizing) game are above.
These clips are fueled by the site's new video player, a smaller version of which can be found to your right in the sidebar. I've loaded it with clips of NU and Oregon State games, with more footage to be added as available.
As we wrote about last night, Georgetown (20-6) was trampled by Seton Hall, 73-55. Hoya Prospectus crunches the numbers.

Postgame audio - Coach John Thompson III, Henry Sims & Jason Clark:
I've never fully understood the "o-ver-ra-ted!" chant. Don't you want the team you're beating to be as good as you expected if not better? Doesn't that say more about the school you support?
Still, such a cheer broke out half-heartedly with 2:04 left in the second half tonight in Newark with Seton Hall (19-9) up 64-49 on #8 Georgetown (20-6).
Perhaps it was deserved. The Hoyas didn't play much like a Top 10 team and Seton Hall performed like a school on the NCAA Tournament bubble desperate for a marquee victory.
Jordan Theodore was magnificent for the Pirates, scoring 29 points on 8-11 shooting including 5-5 from three point range and 8-8 at the free throw line.
John Thompson III's team was holding opponents to 38.0% shooting from the floor and 27.8% from behind the arc in Big East play but Seton Hall lit them up from all over, connecting on 8-13 threes and 61% of all their attempts.

It was a very impressive fifth straight win for Fairfield (15-10), who went to league leader Loyola (Md.) and returned north with a 17 point triumph.
Every time Northwestern (15-9) took the lead in the second half, it seemed like Purdue answered with a three pointer. The Boilermakers hit back to back treys with six minutes left to break the game's eighth tie and defeated the Wildcats 87-77.
