Maybe I can get this in, if I'm concise. Read, "hasty". Last night:
Georgetown 83 - DePaul 75 = The Hoyas need every league win they can get to try and keep pace, or at least pace enough to get a higher-seed in the Big East tourney.
LSU 65 - Auburn 58 (OT) = I believe I said they'd both want this one badly.
Michigan 60 - Michigan State 59 = Once again, the Wolverines fail to score over 65 points. Luckily for them, the Spartans scored one fewer than did the home team.
Western Carolina 141 - Toccoa Falls 39 = Yeah, you read that right. The score at the half was 72-17 Catamounts. Well, at least it wasn't the bullet-dodging of their 2001 meeting, when WCU edged this small Christian school 133-58. I guess The Doors were right:
"You CANNOT petition The Lord with prayer!" 
Tonight has a lot of great mid-major action, plus a few biggies:
LaSalle vs. Temple = This ought to be fun.
St. Joseph's vs. Xavier = Here too.
Clemson vs. Miami = Here too, as they fight to stay out of the ACC cellar.
U Conn vs. Cincinnati = Ditto, if the Bearcats play the way they are capable of doing, even up in Storrs.
Kent State vs. Ohio = And the hits just keep on coming.
Murray State vs. Morehead State = In previous years this would be another war. Maybe not so much tonight, but Joe's Racers should not get complacent.
Indiana vs. Nebraska = And last year the 'Huskers may have had a better chance against the Hoosiers, but this one is most likely IU's to win . . . or lose, in lieu of beating beaten.
Marshall vs. West Virginia = No waffling here . . . this will be a war.
Memphis vs. UCF = And this one too, since both are hoping to gain enough momentum to gain at-large attention come March.
Wyoming vs. Air Froce = Nobody much cares (well, maybe some do about service academies, but only for that), yet I can see this one being damn good too.
Wichita State vs. Northern Iowa = Both have the talent and tradition to make this a contest.
Creighton vs. Missouri State = MSU hasn't the same tradition as Creighton, but they will put up a fight nonetheless.
Texas vs. Kansas State = The 'Horns have not shown us much so far this year, but the Manhattan 'Cats have had some struggles of late. A win by UT would not only help their confidence, it might give Frank Martin a stroke.
Mississippi State vs. Mississippi = OK, it ain't Duke/UNC, or UK/Louisville, or even UCLA/USC, but it is an in-state rivalry between teams that have had their moments this season.
San Diego State vs. New Mexico = The Aztecs get back into the Top 25 this week, based upon their good play. If they aren't careful, they will drop out of the Top 25 after this game. It's in Albuquerque, and the Lobos can hoop a little.
TCU vs. UNLV = And I even give those horny Texans a shot at the Rebels, even in Vegas. OK, not much of one, but it could be closer than you'd think.
Sorry for the brevity, but that's the way it goes. Hey, do you expect
War and Peace every freakin' day? Jeez. So until later . . . enjoy.
