ATB: Weekend Wrap
Posted by rtmsf on February 11th, 2008We were out of town all weekend, so we saw very little in the way of games, so let us know if we missed something…
Weekend Wrapup:
- #24 Notre Dame 86, #20 Marquette 83. ND just does not lose at home anymore (34 in a row).
- Kentucky 62, Alabama 52. Is UK going to make a serious run at the NCAAs?
- #2 Duke 90, Boston College 80. We still have trouble believing Duke is the class of the ACC this year, but the D’Antoni infuence is working pretty well for Coach K.
- #19 Texas A&M 77, Missouri 69. Isn’t half of Mizzou in jail right now?
- Florida 77, Georgia 67. We bet Billy D. wishes every game this year was in Gainesville.
- #6 Tennessee 47, LSU 45. Games like this are why we can never completely trust UT.
- #12 Texas 71, Iowa St. 65 (OT). UT got a scare in Ames.
- #16 Washington St. 74, USC 50. Anyone care to explain what happened here?
- #17 UConn 80, Georgia Tech 68. UConn is playing like they’re a F4 contender right now.
- #1 Memphis 84, C. Florida 65. We really can’t wait for the UT game in two weeks.
- Old Dominion 72, George Mason 64. Mason really needed to win this game, and they didn’t.
- Vanderbilt 66, South Carolina 65. Vandy is going to be very happy they won this game on March 16.
- Arkansas 75, Ole Miss 69. Arkansas appears to be the class of the SEC West.
- #18 Kansas St. 82, Oklahoma St. 61. K-State is a team nobody will want to see in March.
- Oregon 92, California 70. If anyone can figure either of these teams out, please tell us how.
- #14 Michigan St. 70, Northwestern 55. NW is now 0-10 in the Big Ten.
- #9 Stanford 71, Oregon St. 56. Speaking of sucky teams, OSU is now 0-11 in the Pac-10.
- #3 Kansas 100, Baylor 90. How do you score 100 pts w/o hitting a single three?
- #11 Drake 73, Evansville 65 . Who can believe that the Drake is now 13-0 in the Valley?
- #13 Butler 62, Wisc-Green Bay 57. Butler dodged not one, but two, bullets last week.
- #23 Louisville 59, #7 Georgetown 51. Remember when Pitino teams pushed the ball – great win for UL, though.
- Purdue 72, #7 Wisconsin 67. Purdue is for our money the best money in the B10.
- #10 Xavier 76, St. Joseph’s 72. Is Xavier a darkhorse F4 candidate (as Wahl suggested in his M8)?
- #15 Indiana 59, Ohio St. 53. IU had a very successful week (albeit ugly).
- Arizona St. 59, Arizona 54. Man, there are so many good teams in this league this year.
- Washington 71, #4 UCLA 61. How does UCLA win in Pullman but lose in Seattle two yrs in a row?
- #5 UNC 103, Clemson 93. Is there a bigger choker situation than Clemson in Chapel Hill?

You missed my terps big win over NC State…maryland moves into 3rd in the ACC and is playing their best ball of the season (by far)
The turtles are moving along and should be fine come March, but don’t sell yourself short by referring to the State game as a “big win”.
This is a great blog. I like the picks you made for the NCAAs, but I think the Orange are gonna get left out once again this year. Their loss to South Florida was a resume crusher and I think they will struggle to get to .500 in the conference.
I was wondering if you were interested in exchanging links with my blog, The Sports Lounge, which is found at http://www.sportsloungeblog.com. Let me know if your interested.
