In last night’s action, fans at Madison Square Garden witnessed a pair of blowouts in the 2K Classic. First, the Virginia Tech Hokies blasted the Washington Huskies, 103-79, to claim third place. Then, the favored Providence Friars trounced the Saint Louis Billikens, 90-63, to claim the season’s first championship.
As is typical, both the Puerto Rico Tip-Off at Myrtle Beach and Gildan Charleston Classic take today off so the ESPN networks can air wall-to-wall football. Tomorrow evening, the relocated Puerto Rico final will be a rematch of the 2013 Diamond Head Classic championship game, as the Iowa State Cyclones (80-78 winners over the Tulsa Golden Hurricane) will meet the Boise State Broncos (who routed the Illinois State Redbirds, 82-64).
