So here's the notable (to me, anyway) scores from last night:

Duke 84 - Michigan State 79 = A pretty good game, and had the Spartans managed to stick a spear in Irving (who went for 31 on them) they could have won it. But there was no Thermopylaeic stand for them against the Blue Persians. I guess Izzo's at least happy for the good showing, and that K is pleased his boys withstood a challenge.

UCF 57 - Florida 54 = Here was the upset of the night, though I did tell you UCF was pretty decent and would give the Gators as much as they wanted. Well, they actually gave them just a bit more than that, and chalked up what is likely the biggest win in their history.

Boston College 88 - Indiana 76 = A good win for the Eagles over an improving Hoosier squad.

BYU 77 - Creighton 65 = The Cougars scored 6 more than the Bluejays in the first half, and another 6 in the second, so they were at least consistent.

Memphis 78 - Arkansas State 71 (OT) = The Memphis Tigers are winning, but they sure are winning ugly. I guess that beats losing ugly, but it is not a very positive sign for their chances over the long run.

ODU 77 - Richmond 70 = Seems I said this would be a good game, and it would have been even gooder had the Spiders made a few key buckets late. They had the halftime lead . . . if one point is actually a lead, that is.

Arizona 84 - Rice 57 = And why am I citing this one? Firstly, the Desert Wildcats are playing very well, after a few down seasons, and have only lost to the Jayhawks so far. Secondly, this Rice team they spanked has lost three inna row, with their previous one being to Texas . . . by 3 points. Does this mean 'Zona's good? Texas is bad? Rice is bi-polar? Eh, who knows?

South Florida 60 - VCU 59 (OT) = I predicted this one could be lotsa fun. It was so much fun, they even asked for more.

Purdue 58 - Va. Tech 55 (OT) = I also told you we'd have a good game here as well. Make sure you send the vig to the right address, fellas.

A quick glance at tonight's schedule didn't much impress me, but I'll comb through it again to see if I can find you a few anyway. Back soon.
