- Some day-after analysis of South Carolina’s big upset over #1 Kentucky on Tuesday night… a night that cost the Gamecocks $25k for the RTC (well worth it, if you ask us). Jeff Goodman thinks the loss shows that the field is wide open this year, Pat Forde was really impressed by Devan Downey (like Calvin Murphy-impressed), and Gregg Doyel can’t get over the fact that Kentucky raised over a million bucks for Haiti.
- Memphis will plead for leniency before the NCAA Infractions Appeal Committee in Indianapolis on Friday regarding the Derrick Rose scandal and those 38 vacated wins. We’re not likely to know anything until four to six weeks after the hearing, however.
- What was going on up in Seattle on Tuesday night with the ridiculous number of fouls in the Washington vs. Seattle game, which UW won 123-76? Cameron Dollar’s Seattle Redhawks were hit with FORTY-FIVE personal fouls, and actually had to play the last 1:32 of the game with only four players on the floor. Folks, they had more fouls than rebounds. Soooo, let’s put this in perspective… the same team that defeated Oregon State by 51 just lost by 47 to Washington, and both Pac-10 teams are basically sharing space at the bottom of the conference standings.
- Jim Boeheim: stand-up comedian. Yeah, everything is funny when you’re 20-1 and ranked in the top five.
- As if there was ever any question about this, we noted something a little odd about a television glimpse of Dookie V’s grandson who was attending the Duke-Florida State game at Cameron Indoor Stadium last night. We’ve obscured the little guy’s face to protect the young/innocent, but given this outward display of partisanship by his family, how can Dick Vitale ever again say with a straight face that he’s capable of calling a Blue Devils game fairly?

Dick Vitale could say that he was unbiased with the Blue Devils with a straight face before this? Pssh.
Vitale has said numerous times that his grandson is a Duke fan, for what it's worth. That said, he clearly loves Duke, as he finds a way to bring them into every broadcast and pump them up.
He also said that when he does a North Carolina game, the kid wears North Carolina gear. Kind of hard to be a Duke homer when you're willing to wear the rivals jersey too.
He said it, but he's also notorious for playing both sides of that rivalry. Has anyone actually seen it?
