By week's end the number was down to seven-and some of the survivors were on the critical list. No. 2-ranked Louisville had all it could do to squeeze past Syracuse, 75-71, at the Quaker City Tournament in Philadelphia; and the 8-0 record of No. 6 Cincinnati included three overtimes, four victory margins of two points or less...
