• Mason 54 LaSalle 47: The Comets opened up the game with a 12-0 run to start the 2nd quarter as they punished LaSalle inside with the strength of senior forwards Darrin Harris and Michael Van Kleunen; who scored 15 and 12 respectively. With LaSalle cutting the lead to two by scoring the first 10 points of the third quarter, in a game the Lancers never led, it was the composure of senior guard JD Sprague (who scored 13 points) that kept the Comets together. Mason battled back and forth in the final quarter until Lancer's senior guard Josh Lemons fouled out on a charge with 2:21 left and his team trailing by three, essentially icing the game for Mason. The Comets played great defense all game, holding the Lancers to just 3/25 three point shooting, and stifling Lemons into tough shots; although Lemons did manage a game high 22 points. Despite the many turnovers Mason had in the second half, that allowed LaSalle to run and thus get back in the game, they were able to handle the ball down the stretch and make their FT's to get the win. LaSalle suffers their first loss of the season, and first since last January, while Mason has made their case for the #1 spot in the rankings with only one loss themselves. 
• Middletown 81 Princeton 78: The 27 points, 8 rebounds, and 4 assists of senior guard Geovonie McKnight led the Middies to an overtime road win in what is now a heated GMC rivalry, as Middies coach Josh Andrews made his first return to his old gym. Middletown also got 18 points from senior guard Zach Edwards, while sophomore wing Vincent Edwards went for 16 points and 18 rebounds. Princeton was led by the 20 points and 10 assists of junior PG Dorian Jordan, the 21 points of senior guard Deion Isham, and the 17 points De'arius Young; as the Vikings have lost an unfathomable third straight league game.
