Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Friday, January 30, 2009

Fun times last night!
1) Mechelle looks wicked smart (or has great timing) as #20 Florida State roared back in the last few seconds of regulation to tie the game, and then surged to victory over #4 Duke, 82-75.

2) Georgia seems to be enjoying conference play -- and they sure enjoyed taking down undefeated #4 Auburn, 67-58. This is Georgia's first win over a top 5 team since beating No. 2 Texas on Nov. 21, 2004.

3) The moanin' and groanin' and you heard coming out of Bristol, CT last night were the ESPN executives watching Mississippi extend their lead over Tennessee to 9 points with 4:10 left. Their gnashing of teeth turned to hysterical cheering when Angie Bjorklund nailed a game winning/game ending three to give Coach Summitt victory #999. Let loose the Hype Hounds!!!

5) #22 Vandy needed overtime to defeat Arkansas.

6) #10 North Carolina righted the ship (though there were some shaky moments) and beat Wake Forest 77-66.

7) #16 Florida made quick work of Kentucky, coasting to a 74-59 win.

8) #5 Cal stomped UCLA -- but more importantly, seem to have Hampton returning to form.

9) #14 Ohio State squeezed by Michigan.

10) #8 Stanford made quick work of USC, pulling away for an 81-53 win.
