- The ACC is terrible. NC State beats Duke, loses to Maryland and then UNC smokes Maryland. At least the UNC student base didn't rush the court. And Virginia beat FSU by 20. Virginia scored 56. Do the math of awful.
- Interesting tidbit from Jimmy Dykes of ESPN while calling the Florida romp of fading Missouri. Florida entered today 14-1 doing Thursday/Saturday turn around games in their last 15 instances. Something to remember in March. Florida was dominant today. Game was over at the tip.
- Kansas won at Texas despite being down double digits in the 2nd half. Really like watching this Kansas team. From ESPN Stats Info: Since its only loss to Sparty, Kansas has outscored its opponents 48-24 in the final 5 minutes of games within 5. Starting to get a Carmelo vibe from KU Frosh, Ben McLemore.
- Syracuse isn't dead, even w/o James Southerland which show you how talented they are. Michael Carter-Williams plays a bit out of control too often and played one possession in the final 4 minutes 1-on-5 but he's a playmaker. He's one of the top steal men in the country. Louisville fans had flashbacks today to bad Peyton Siva. Has to be his worse game of the year, yet, they almost won. Great battle between two very good teams.
- Wichita State held serve at home against Creighton. Carl Hall of WSU had a huge game. File that name away when we get to the tournament. There was a bad flagrant foul called against Creighton G Grant Gibbs at about the 9:00 minute mark of the 2nd half. Turned out huge at the end.
- Finally, Oregon is cementing itself as a tournament team with a win over UCLA at Pauley Pavillion. I'm not sold UCLA is a great team but it's a good road win for the Ducks, nonetheless. I always liked the hire of Dana Altman. They swung for the fences and went after Izzo but Altman was a good back-up plan.
