So, yeah, there were some interesting games last night. I'm guessing the hair pulling and pepto chugging was pretty high along the coaches benches.
1) Undefeated no more. #6 Georgia went into Nashville and got stomped by short-(broken)-handed Vanderbilt (#22), 66-44.
2) #4 Tennessee went up against Amanda Butler's 9-7 Gators and needed a last second bucket from Bjorklund to secure the win. Of concern for the Vols - another injury to Cain. Though this time a leg, not a head.
3) If I recall correctly, last year North Carolina (#11) did some serious stumbling post UConn stomping. Their 79-64 loss makes you wonder if it'll be deja vu all over again.
4) Meier's Hurricanes almost gave the Duke alum a bittersweet victory, but Jasmine Thomas' double-double kept Miami at bay and the Blue Devils escaped Coral Gables with a 69-62 win.
5) Illinois had a run that made the game interesting, but #5 Ohio State rode Samantha Prahalis' 24pts to a 73-61 victory.
6) One of the Feisty Mittens is looking a little unraveled as Michigan State lost to Wisconsin, 48-45. That's the Spartans' fourth loss in a row.
7) Intent on destroying all things Husky related (yah, I know they're the Cougars, but they share a name with those West Coast Huskies), #2 Stanford demolished Washington State, 80-43.
Less happy news for the Cardinal? J.J. Hones sat the game out with a sore left knee and they lost Jeanette Pohlen to a right ankle injury early in the second half.
8) By the way, on Wednesday, a season high 7,718 watched Baylor take their revenge on the state of Oklahoma by beating the Sooners 57-47. Griner only blocked 11 shots.
