Busy college hoops day ahead

There are 70 games today. And some of the teams playing in tournaments play twice – just like in high school. Key match ups.

More on last night:

Oregon held on to beat Illinois, 77-74. Senior Amanda Johnson poured in 31 points to guide the win. I am excited because I’ll be catching the Ducks’ next game tomorrow evening, and I’ll get to see Knight Arena for the first time. I’ve heard it’s the best venue in the Pac-12.

And speaking of that West coast conference: Washington State beat Wisconsin 69-51. Senior April Cook reached the 1,000-point career mark in the process.

Monday:

So early in the season? Stanford travels to UConn.
