The only thing surprising about Pitt’s loss to Dayton was the final score. A 25-point loss on the road probably irks Jamie Dixon’s team more than the opponent. The Flyers are every bit as good as their 11-1 record and Brian Roberts is a player you’ll hear more about when March rolls around. The Panthers should still be considered a title contender, while Dayton cements itself as a mid-major no one wants to play. (Ask Rick Pitino.)
Once again, Memphis’ depth wins out, with a boost from stellar defense. Not sure Jerryd Bayless would’ve been the difference for Arizona, but it couldn’t have hurt.
The Kansas fan in me hates that Oklahoma can beat West Virginia in Morgantown. The hoops fan in me loves games like this, though. Blake Griffin is a beast.
Ouch. If Kentucky loses on Monday, it’ll panic time in Lexington.
Is this a sign of things to come for Winthrop? I’d like to think so.
For that matter, how much longer do we consider Gonzaga an elite team? I know they don’t really have a “bad” loss, but the Zags are 9-4 and thei best win is against UConn, which isn’t what it used to be. If Saint Mary’s has a chance to dethrone the WCC kings, this is it.
O.J. Mayo has never seen a shot he didn’t like.
I’ve never understood why anyone would wear a T-shirt under their uniform. Who can shoot like that?
Ouch, part II. It’s hard work to win by 119 points.
