Rush The Court

Was there a football game this weekend? Maybe that’s why we couldn’t find a hoops game on anywhere after 5pm today.

Weekend Wrapup:

• #7 Georgetown 73, Seton Hall 61. The Hoyas continue to look like the class of the Big East.
• Maryland 88, Georgia Tech 86. Osby with 18/11. Would a third-place team in the ACC please stand up?
• Syracuse 87, Villanova 73. Nova is in free fall mode (3-6 in the Big East), while Cuse is quietly regrouping.
• #17 Marquette 75, Cincinnati 60. God, the middle of the Big East is murky.
• Connecticut 60, #21 Pittsburgh 53. Watch out for the Huskies – they’re starting to get it together (5 Ws in a row).
• Kentucky 63, Georgia 58. The Cats are finally back above .500 (10-9).
• #1 Memphis 70, UTEP 64. UTEP led this game with just over a minute remaining – the Tigers are getting bored and unfocused.
• Virginia Tech 72, Virginia 65 (OT). Good night, Virginia?
• Missouri 77, #22 Kansas St. 74. Hmmm… guess K-State is a young team, huh?
• #10 Texas 80, Baylor 72. Baylor is still quietly playing well just under the Big 12 radar.
• Rhode Island 82, Dayton 70. Two weeks ago Dayton looked like the best mid-major in America. They’ve now lost 4 of 5.
• Louisville 87, Rutgers 50. Complete and utter destruction.
• #16 Stanford 67, #8 Washington St. 65 (OT). Tremendous game that neither team wanted to win down the stretch.
• Arkansas 80, #21 Florida 61. Perhaps Arkansas is the new “it” team in the SEC this week (after MSU and Florida the last two).
• #2 Kansas 72, Colorado 59. KU still looked hung over for most of this one.
• #3 Duke 88, Miami (FL) 73. Can we go ahead and get to the Duke-Carolina game on Wednesday?
• Purdue 83, Illinois 75. Illinois really sucks.
• Texas A&M 60, Oklahoma 52. Can you believe OU’s Blake Griffin (6/8) is #1 on the Big Board (2009)? We neither.
• South Carolina 80, #19 Ole Miss 77. Ole Miss shouldn’t be ranked.
• California 79, Washington 75. Really tough weekend for the Washington schools (both swept at home).
• Iowa 53, Ohio St 48. Another confounding performance from the Buckeyes. We can’t figure them out.
• #6 Tennessee 76, Mississippi St. 71. UT is really starting to impress us.
• #14 Drake 83, Indiana St. 77. Is The Drake going to run the table (11-0 in the MVC)?
• Penn St. 85, #8 Michigan St. 76. It’s games like this and Iowa that mean we cannot pick MSU to go very far in March.
• #5 UCLA 82, Arizona 60. UCLA’s looked like the best team in America its last two games.
• USC 67, Arizona St. 53. USC’s win over UCLA may have turned around their season.
• #11 Indiana 75, Northwestern 63. E-Giddy with 29 as IU went to 7-1 in the B10.
• NC State 67, Wake Forest 65. NCSU won this one on a putback dunk at the buzzer.
• #4 UNC 84, Florida St. 73 (OT). Hansbrough with 22/21 as Lawson sprained his ankle and is questionable for the Duke game.
• #13 Wisconsin 63, Minnesota 47. You really have to marvel at the consistency of Bo Ryan’s program.
