The Cram Session is a semi-daily melange of last night's most important hoops action. It's so close to turkey it can smell it (the turkey).

Villanova 79, Ole Miss 67: Villanova was the best team in Puerto Rico, and for most of the tournament, they played like the best team in Puerto Rico. Still, winning this preseason tournament is good result for a team that expects to win the Big East in 2009-10; nothing about Villanova's performance over the past week insinuates the team will perform otherwise. Anyway, Scottie Reynolds had 21 for the Wildcats Sunday night, while Corey Stokes had 18 and Antonio Pena had 17 points and 16 rebounds. The Wildcats had 79 points on 83 possessions and rebounded 41 percent of their misses on the offensive end, which was the deciding factor in the game. Given how high-octane the Wildcats will be in 2009-10, rebounding at that rate offensively will make them incredibly dangerous. Let's see if they can keep it up.

Kansas State 83, Dayton 75: Speaking of teams justifying their preseason hype in Puerto Rico: Dayton. The Flyers entered the season ranked higher (at No. 18) than they have at any time in recent history. They have some proving to do. And they did so in our fine sunny commonwealth to the south, beating a Derrick Favors-led Georgia Tech team before losing a close game to Villanova and Sunday night's loss to Kansas State. Dayton will have to beat teams like K-State if it expects any sort of late-season tourney seed love, but it would also be nice if the selection committee took into account the fact that Kansas State shot an 84 percent free throw rate last night; they went to the line 28 times in the second half and 44 times overall. To illustrate, behold this chart, which tracks the four factors of winning:

Dayton could have done more on the offensive rebounding front, but they didn't play that poorly. They just ... gave up a ton of free throws. It happens, I guess?

Georgia Tech 85, Boston U. 67: Hey, there's the Georgia Tech we all know and love. A team with Derrick Favors, one of the best recruits in the country, who had 14 points and 10 rebounds. A team with depth, with Zachery Peacock, who scored 22 points off the bench. A team willing to play pressure defense. And so on. Georgia Tech's stock might have slid after their loss to Dayton Thursday, but there's still plenty of time for this team to figure things out. Once they do, look out. Derrick Favors is totally going to dunk on your head.

Elsewhere: Indiana fans are starting to kind of/sort of freak out about their team's three losses this weekend, as the Hoosiers fell 69-66 to George Mason Sunday night ... Louisville played a perhaps-too-offensive game with Morgan, winning 90-81 ... Iowa State continued its high-flying ways, scoring 95 on Missouri Valley State ... James Madison handed another loss to Isiah Thomas and FIU ... and Purdue easily handled St. Joe's in the Virgin Islands. But I want to go to the Virgin Islands! Totes not fair, you guys.
