    Georgetown Hoyas – Otto Porter and All the Rest

    It’s going to be a while until Georgetown play Syracuse inside the Carrier Dome once again, so Otto Porter made sure it was a game neither side were going to forget, almost outscoring the Orange by himself, while the Hoyas took sole control of the lead in the Big East.

  • Kansas Jayhawks – Naadir Tharpe Not as Bad as the Rest

    Kansas Jayhawks – Naadir Tharpe Not as Bad as the Rest

    You don’t expect too much scoring in College Basketball games, even with a double overtime. Still, the fact that Naadir Tharpe scored the only field goal for Kansas in the double overtime period, which just happened to be the winner, speaks once again about the quality of offensive basketball we get to see these days.

  • Indiana Hoosiers – Victor Oladipo Shows What is a Number One

    Indiana Hoosiers – Victor Oladipo Shows What is a Number One

    The best team in the nation needs to prove that being number one comes for a reason. Having the two leading candidates for national player of the year in Victor Oladipo and Cody Zeller certainly helps, even in the too tight to call Big Ten this season.

    Maryland Terps – Still Good Enough to Beat Their Biggest Rivals

    There’s always a discussion and fan banter between Duke and Maryland about their match-ups being real rivalries or not. Well, they certainly feel that way in College Park, putting another dent in the ACC run of the Blue Devils, losing for the third time in conference play and looking unimpressive for yet another time.

  • Duke Blue Devils – Should Have Been Easier

    Duke Blue Devils – Should Have Been Easier

    It’s never easy in a rivalry game, even at home. Still, the number two team in the nation right now, Duke, probably should have done a little bit better facing a so-so North Carolina team, that made life very difficult for a group of guys many think are a bit overrated regarding their national championship hopes.

    Michigan State Spartans – Making a Joke of Their Biggest Rivals

    Things couldn’t have gone any worse for Michigan heading into East Lansing, not only losing to their state rival, but dropping a game for the third time in four outings with their worst performance of the season, while Tom Izzo had his players, and especially Gary Harris do what Izzo teams do beat – surprise everyone with just how good Michigan State can be.

    Florida Gators – Too Good For the One and Done Bunch
