Greetings... it was a big day on the hardwood especially in the collegiate ranks... so we'll stay on the court this morning... college first
- Ohio State narrowly avoids being bounced by NW thanks to some faulty execution late by the Wildcats... a typical road test and even the most experienced teams catch these...
- Louisville knocks off UConn in Storrs... Kemba Walker with an inefficient 7 of 23 for UConn, but the story for me was Peyton Siva for Louisville... played big-time with 19 and 7 dimes...
- Georgetown knocks off Villanova... this was a weird game simply because both teams were out of timeouts with about 3 minutes to go... it was mass chaos on both ends down the stretch... Austin Freeman had 30 for Georgetown and was everywhere, but the Hoyas won this game in spite of some laughable execution...
- Kansas blitzes K-State by 24... the purple and white are pretty bad right now... Frank Martin looks to be asleep at the wheel, and they had no chance in Lawrence last night... great story with Thomas Robinson 2 days after his mother's funeral keying the Jayhawks with 17 and 9... big-time performance by KU
- Texas is the real deal... Rick Barnes has them playing well right now, and they took it to Missouri... right now? I have to give them the frontrunner nod for the 4th #1 seed with Ohio State, Duke, and Kansas...
- Upsets abound... Texas A&M, BYU, Wisconsin, and Syracuse drop road games to unranked teams... A&M was actually a road underdog (Vegas-style), and none of the losses were shockers, but it just shows again and again how big home-court is in college hoops... especially in conference....
NBA Check...
- Dallas knocks off ATL with help from a 25-13 4th quarter... some abysmal offense from the Hawks in the 4th quarter (a recurring trend), and the Mavs took advantage... Jason Terry with 11 dimes to lead Dallas... and despite Joe Johnson putting up another huge stat game (27/8/6) it wasn't enough...
- Zach Randolph is so under-appreciated.... 24 and 20 for Memphis in their home win over the Wiz... yes, the Wizards are 0-23 on the road now... but Z-Bo needs more love... you can't argue with 20 and 13 on the season...
- Same old story for San Antonio.... 6 guys in double-digits and a 13 point win over Houston... the Spurs are rolling..
What to watch for on a football-less Sunday...
- Heat @ Thunder - 1:00 ABC - Sunday afternoon ABC games!... These 2 teams haven't played yet, and this matchup is really intriguing... 4 of the top 15-20 players in the league? Even without Bosh, That's enough for me...
- Celtics @ Lakers - 3:30 ABC - Oh... just the finals rematch and the 2 most storied franchises in the NBA on national tv.... that's all...
- Duke @ St. John's - 1:00 CBS - Remember when this game didn't suck?... Bootsie Thornton does...
- Washington @ Washington St. - 10:00 Fox Sports - Pac-10 hoops on a sunday night... always enjoy this matchup...
