Tonight's CuseAdelphia Games of Interest and nightly RPI update

Every night I'll provide the NBA, NHL, and college basketball scores that a CuseAdelphian should be aware of. They'll be the scores of division foes, conference foes, or non conference opponents of Syracuse basketball. I'll also give a SyracuseRPI update to the minute.

Syracuse's RPI: 12
Team you would be surprised to see ahead of Syracuse: St. Mary's at number 3. The Gaels are good and have showed it with wins over Seton Hall, Drake (the Missouri Valley leader), and Oregon.
Team you should be surprised is way below Syracuse: Georgetown at 69. The Hoyas haven't played anyone outside Memphis who they lost too. They have just one other game against an RPI top 150 team.

College Basketball scores of importance:
(25) Rhode Island 92, Eastern Michigan 75. The Rams continue to win as they played their first game as a ranked team in this millennium.

St. Joesph's 74, Siena 68. I guess it's better that St. Joe's won this game from the Syracuse standpoint because St. Joe's will probably be considered the better quality win come March.

Tulane 69, Alabama St. 60. Tulane has a top 75 RPI so Syracuse's pretty convincing win against the Green Wave actually looks half decent.

UCONN 85 Central Florida 82. If you think Syracuse schedules poorly. UCONN has played two games this year they could remotely lose. A game in Boston against Gonzaga and a game in MSG against Memphis. Of course they lost both. They finally went on the road tonight to UCF and won a squeaker.

Syracuse's first conference opponent is battling with Louie McCroskey's Marist Red Foxes right. St. John's 62 Marist 59. St. John's comes back and wins it.

NHL:
Devils 2, Sabres 1. Devils take it in a shootout. Jersey moves seven points out in front of the Flyers.

NBA:
Nets 109, Wizards 106. Jason Kidd nearly records another triple-double with 20 points, 8 boards, and 12 assists. The Nets move a half a game ahead of the Sixers with the Sixers game in progress.
