A Long Day For BC In Shreveport

((HT: Pac-12 Digital/ESPN))

The ACC is having their problems this year in bowl games- and they may have more tonight, depending on the level of motivation of JFF...

Ka'Deem Carey and the son of some guy named Griffey had a big day for RichRod and Arizona as they rolled Boston College in the Independence Bowl, 42-19...

Arizona never trailed and was up 42-6 in the fourth quarter. The Wildcats held BC's Andre Williams to only 75 yards, but that figure still has him as the 5th best all-time in NCAA history with 2,177 yards.

William Parks put a stomp on the game early with this 69-yard pick-6 to give Arizona a 14-6 lead and they never, really, looked back...

BUZZER BEATER: Top Ranked Indiana Shot Down At Illinois 74-72

In this wide open year in college basketball a top ranking in the polls is more of a curse than a badge of honor.

Indiana was the latest victim last night in Champaign, Illinois losing to Illinois 74-72.

That will be the easiest buzzer beater Illinois senior forward Tyler Griffey will ever make.

"I just made a simple curl cut and left two guys behind me, and Brandon got off a heck of a pass," Griffey said. "Zeller and Watford were both right in front of me and just kind of stayed there."

It’s the third time Illinois has knocked off a top ranked team in Assembly Hall.  The first came on January 11^th, 1979 against Michigan State.  That Spartan team would go on to win the national championship with Magic Johnson leading the way.

The second time was December 1^st, 2004 when top ranked Wake Forest went down.

D.J.Richardson led the Illini with 23 points.      

I thought he (Richardson) was absolutely terrific on both ends of the floor," Illinois first year head coach John Groce said. "He battled, he fought."
