- #1 Kansas goes down in a heap... a blowout road loss at K-State thanks to Jacob Pullen's career-high 38... just a combination of Kansas not really showing up, and K-State executing offensively in a way they haven't all year capped by Pullen's 5-6 3 pt showing... he was throwing it in from everywhere... what does it mean? Not a whole lot... but KSU needed this one to have any prayer of an At-Large bid....
- Albert Pujols is likely to be a free agent... I'm interested to see what happens here, but I'm already growing weary of it.. and it's February... could be A-Rod like in free agency...
- The Eagles will franchise tag Mike Vick... zero surprise here... they get to retain his rights, albeit at a high number, but don't have the total commitment of a long-term deal in the star QB range... almost an automatic...
- NBA Check - The Hawks awaken... after being down 7 after 1, the Hawks beat up on Detroit by 22 the rest of the way, and got a road win... Josh Smith led the way with 27 and 14... it has to be the most monotonous team to discuss... I need my Hawks 2nd wind... Charlotte blows out the Lakers? 109-89 and this was hideous basketball from LA... Kobe shot 3 different airballs, and while he managed 20 points, he was pretty bad... Gerald Wallace led 8 guys with 7+ points for Charlotte... Step off, Dante Cunningham... the 'Nova product may have played the best game of his career with 18 and 13 last night in a road win for Portland in Minny... and Houston drains 14 threes in disposing of Denver 121-102... Courtney Lee led the way with 22...
What to watch for...
- Heat @ Pacers - 7:00 NBA TV - The Pacers are really, really interesting and nobody knows it... playing very well under Vogel since O'Brien went away, and their rotation is something to keep an eye on when they're healthy to see how it shakes out...
- Michigan State @ #3 Ohio State - 9:00 ESPN - This would've been a much bigger deal if Michigan State hadn't tanked... but with OSU coming off a loss, and MSU having the talent to beat them, I kinda want to see where these teams are...
- Mississippi State @ #22 Kentucky - 7:00 ESPN - SEC Basketball is so... taxing...
Until later...
