Duke and tOSU take care of business as expected.

NC Central looks pretty good so far against MT's Terps, leading 16-14 at the under 8. This is the smallest crowd I've ever seen for a Maryland game.

Central down 11

Would like GWU to get a win over KSU today so SLU can get chances for Top-25 victories.

Anyone watching Penn State-Michigan State right now? Penn State is a whole lot of awful.

DePaul is down 4 to Georgetown with 8 minutes left. Georgetown was picked 2nd in the conference (ahead of Creighton and Villanova), DePaul was picked last. Great conference they have there.

[AndShock]

Holy crap DePaul and Georgetown are both atrocious. Possibly Thursday teams in the Valley. Considering DePaul has already lost to Illinois State, that comment is probably not even that much of a stretch.

Maryland 70 - NC Central 56

Jeremy Ingram 4-19 from the field (0-6 from behind the arc) and 3-5 FT's for a big 11 points. Sheesh!

PSU has been bad for several years now it seems.

They always seem to get one signature win a year though.

[KC Shox]

Every freakin' day I watch our OOC SOS continue to rise. Now its ranked 104th. Geeesh! Considering 10 of our next 18 games are against opponents who have RPIs 143 plus, I'm really not sure if we're going to break the century mark by regular season's end. Just need to pull an Al Davis and keep winning baby.

I came across the UCONN-Houston game on ESPN and there are about 20 people in the stands. I always thought they had a decent program/following but this crowd for a Top 25 opponent on ESPN definitely shows otherwise.

The Butler v. Villanova game in OT is a crazy game.

[DUShock]

Butler blew it. They forced a turnover with 13 seconds remaining and after a Villanova timeout threw up a 3 bomb on the inbound and bricked it but forced a jump ball that went to butler. They then choked the inbound. Almost a wildly good finish.

[DUShock]

Creighton v. Marquette on FS1 Cox 60.

Dougie starts the game with a deep three ball from up top.
