UVa thumped the Tar Heels on Saturday w/ some inside muscle and offense (what's this?). Wish they had made more 3s at the end. But I'm quibbling.
WVU looked good against Trae Young and got 8 turnovers off of him. But, hey, he's good. BTW, Esa Ahmad (a double digit starter) will be returning to WVU next game, so they should have even more fire power and experience.
Look for me at the UVa/NC State (beats Duke!) game in Charlottesville Sunday night. I also plan on heading to Morgantown to see WVU next month. Live NCAA basketball is the best.
NCAA b-ball is the best. Although my Tar Heels clearly are not a Top Ten team, I enjoy the ACC games and other conferences. ACC champion won't be Duke nor UNC this year. UVa, Miami, FSU, Clemson, and Notre Dame all look great. I look forward to seeing UVa defense contrast with FSU and Miami fast pace. Syracuse, FSU, Miami, and Duke all have great size, too.
Duke, MSU, and Xavier lost this week

who did Duke lose to?
Boston College and NCSU. Duke is currently 1-2 in ACC play.
Watched some of the UK vs Texas A&M last night. I try not to complain about refs, but the no-call at end was a game winner for UK. Of course, they were playing at home

Texas takes on TCU tonight here in Austin. The have just announced this morning that Andrew Jones, Texas' leading scorer before a stress fracture in his arm in December, has been diagnosed with leukemia. He had come back and played some minutes in a couple of games, then was out again with an unspecified illness. This is really sad news for a young man with a bright future.
Definitely makes you remember what's important.What a terrible thing for a young person to confront. Basketball is trivial compared to the battle he faces. My best to Andrew.
Yes, and they really need to take care of things at home - already went down to KU here.Great win, Longhorns
Yup - and the Wildcats were ranked #2 back then. That was in the Battle for Atlantis in the Bahamas - first round no less. Hence my comment about anyone following the Wolfpack shouldn't be surprised when they hang one on a "better" team ...
