Games of interest

Kentucky has Ashley Judd, we have Kirstie Alley. Advantage Wildcats.

HUGE understatement my friend.

BYU WINS! 60-57! Shocks will keep their 2nd top 50 rpi win!

[WuDrWu]

BYU up 58-55 with 4 seconds left and they foul St. Mary's to put them to the line to shoot a 1 and 1 instead of allowing them to attempt a 3.

Perfectly executed, exactly the way it should be, every time.

[Rosewood]

is all I could think of for those last St. Mary's FTs

I would love for Kentucky to win this by double digits, leave no excuses for Florida.

I don't care about the final margin as long as Kentucky wins. I just hope it isn't close down the stretch or I am afraid Florida will pull a Syracuse.

Although give how Kentucky has been in close games, would it be Florida pulling a Syracuse or Kentucky pulling a Kentucky? Or are those two things that same thing?

[Play Angry]

I really thought Kentucky would win this one. They have the big guys to bang with Florida down low, but the Gator big men are just abusing them on the boards down the stretch. That is one tough group now that the spineless officials have let it slip back to rugby.

Look at all the scores in the 50s and low 60s this week. We need higher offensive output this year, yes? Mission accomplished assholes.

[WSUwatcher]

That will keep those NC State guys up at night for years.

Gee, if only Marshall had taken the NC State job, they'd have won that game. Oh, wait...

Wasn't I just reading about how WSU is starting to look like Arizona before they lost to Cal? I'll grant that WSU wasn't hitting on all cylinders against Loyola or SIU, but if that description is true of the Shocks, how the hell is Syracuse looking at this point? You can bet that if WSU had just completed back to back one point wins, one at home, in which they came from behind in the last ten seconds, stoneheads like Seth Davis would be saying that in retrospect maybe he had the Shocks a little too high at #5.

Actually, this is probably good for WSU in a couple of ways. For one, it highlights that they have no room to coast or lose focus against anyone at this point. And for another, it may shift some of the media frenzy back toward Syracuse and their new tightrope act, thus lessening the potential distractions for the Shocks, which is just what the doctor ordered.

A Calipari team missing free throws.....shocking

[KC Shox]

WSU sneaks by a horrible SIU team (still won by double-digits) = WSU is ****.
Syracuse sneaks by a horrible NC State = Syracuse is tough and has grit. A win is a win.

NCSU horrible? They have an RPI in the 50s and have won 16 games. Comparing them to SIU....well, there is no comparison.

Look, I'm no SU apologists but let's keep it real here. We've had some squeakers and poor performances against some crappy MVC teams. At least SU can say their nail biters have all come against ranked and/or teams with winning records.

[WSUwatcher]

Kentucky has Ashley Judd, we have Kirstie Alley. Advantage Wildcats.

Judd may be a babe, but she's a total buffoon who thinks she actually is smart and well-informed -- a young Barbra Streisand or Nancy Pelosi. At least Kirstie knows not to take herself seriously.

[AndShock]

I don't see Florida losing from here on out. Becoming #1 looks like a pipe dream at this point.

[Play Angry]

Well thank goodness BYU won, we couldn't catch a break otherwise from about 2 PM onward today.

[Jamar Howard 4 President]

The Arizona game was sooooo ugly I keep forgetting Arizona State actually pulled it off. For an Arizona loss, I really should have been able to enjoy it a little more.

That said, after Syracuse survives another one today, Alabama and Tennessee lose close ones, and now Florida pulls it out against Kentucky, I'm really, really praying WSU can just go out and pound Evansville tomorrow. I can't take the stress of a close game and the accompanying thoughts of what another loss to Evansville would feel like.
