Dayton got pushed by Bona and Fordham wouldn't let VCU break away, but the favorites ultimately pulled out the wins. Loyola took down La Salle, while Davidson led SLU by as many as 13 in the first half and were still up 5 at the break, but a 16–0 Billiken run in the second half flipped the script.
Southern Virginia won their 6th straight and are atop the USA South at 8–1 in conference play. Belmont kept things rolling in a high-scoring affair with Drake, though Noyes only had 3 points in 13 minutes. And Southern Illinois got a nice win over Illinois State in a defensive-minded game.
