Football is over, and even though Pitchers and Catchers are reporting it's going to take a while for my spring fever to get into full swing. So until the NFL Draft, the first MLB and AFL games I am all about College Hoops. It was a great day yesterday, if you were paying attention. Here's a break down:
Texas Tech 84 #22 Kansas State 75: Pat Knight got his first Coaching win in style as Tech (13-10) knocked off a ranked KSU (17-6) squad who had previously toppled unbeaten Kansas by the same score.
#2 Duke 77 Maryland 65. The Terps (16-9) had a spurt in the middle of the second half where they were having their way with the Blue Devils (22-1) but couldn't keep up. Greivis Vasques had 25 points and 7 assists but didn't get the post help he would have needed to knock off Duke at Cameron.
#14 Wisconsin 68 #12 Indiana 66. With Hoosiers nation distracted by their coach's misdeeds (remember Bob Knight, he never broke NCAA rules.) Wisconsin (20-4) was able to take IU (20-4) down for the second time in two weeks, and they did so on a last second three. Last time out the Badgers won by a count of 62-49 and in both games they got great performances out of unsung hero, Joe Krabbenhoft who is averaging 4 points 11 rebounds and 2.5 assists in his games against IU this year.
#17 UConn 84 #18 Notre Dame 78. The Huskies (19-5) got 26 points and 9 assists from A.J. Price on the way to a win at THE XL CENTER. These two will both be looking up at Georgetown and Louisville in the Big East, but don't sleep on either as both are capable of winning the conference tournament.
Davidson 83 UNC-Greensboro 78. I was on the edge of my seat watching the end of this game, after the Duke v UMD game got boring. Stephen Curry was amazing while scoring 41 points in 40 minutes of play. He was 14-26 from the field, and 9-9 from the line all while he pulled down 7 rebounds. He is just plain fun to watch, and could be on the way to scoring 3,000 points in his career.
St. Mary's College (MD) 78 Mary Washington 63. Mary Wash (14-7) now trails my Alma Mater by two games for first place in the CAC. Shetland Pont Guard Mike Smelkinson (they list him at 5-5 but he can't be any bigger than 5-3) had 10 points and 10 assists as the Sea Hawks (12-11) helped York out by knocking the Eagles down a peg.
My boys were on their CAC buy last night (having 9 teams is really stupid) but we got more good news in addition to the Mary Wash loss. Senior All American Chad McGowan was named CAC player of the week for the third time this year. He put up 49 points, 21 Rebounds, 8 assists and 7 blocks in two YCP wins this week.
