Clash of the Titans (the matchup between two teams with the highest combined Hoops Nerd Rating): things worked essentially as planned for Memphis (+19.7) in an 81 - 70 win over Connecticut (+13.4) in the final of the Coaches vs. Cancer Classic, as Derrick Rose and Chris Douglas-Roberts did the scoring while Joey Dorsey and Robert Dozier did the rebounding.
The Poison Cupcake (the night's biggest upset): Providence - without its top three point shooter from last season, Sharaud Curry - beat Arkansas by 16 points in Puerto Rico. An atrocious 42.6 turnover percentage (32 turnovers on 75 possessions) sealed Arkansas' fate.
Superman Wears Donte Greene Pajamas (the night's top performer): the Syracuse freshman forward helped the Orange beat up on Fordham 80 - 63. The numbers you need to know:
Donte Greene 11/16 vs. Fordham
Effective Field Goal Percentage: 82.1
Offensive Rebound Percentage: 27.1
