Purdue thumps Michigan State.
Nice to see Gonzaga facing another tough WCC opponent in LMU. How do the Zags manage to muster the strength to meet the formidable challenges of their conference?
Purdue thumps Michigan State.
Michigan St and Michigan lose; Wichita St and Memphis survive; and Colorado beats Utah by 39! Crazy year!
Just when I thought South Carolina had blown it and let Kentucky come back from a deficit to tie and send the game to overtime, SC hits a deep three at the buzzer to win by 3!

'When I got on the bus for my first road game at Duke, I saw that every player was carrying textbooks or laptops. I coached in the SEC for 25 years, and I had never seen that before, not even once.' - David Cutcliffe to Duke alumni in Washington, DC, June 2013
I want no part of Dayton come March.
Right now all six top twenty five teams that are playing are losing, two by double digits.

Ohio State loses again, falling to Penn St. 90-76. Maybe now the Buckeyes will actually fall out of the Top 25.
#4 Auburn loses by 22 to unranked Florida.
#5 Butler loses by double digits to unranked DePaul.
#12 West Virginia loses to unranked Kansas State by 14.
After 1,080 games, Vanderbilt, one of 3 teams along with UNLV and Princeton to make at least 1 3 pointer in every game of the 3 point era, goes 0 for 25 from 3 tonight.
Baylor held a healthy lead for most of the game against Oklahoma, but it was close. OK had a three-on-one break with 10 seconds left and could have tied it with a layup, but instead chose to kick it out for a transition three that missed. I guess you go for the win on the road, but a gut-wrenching missed opportunity.
Baylor looks physical and athletic, exactly the type of team that gives us trouble.
