Top 25
- Charlotte 49, #4 Tennessee 48: “I expected this…but not on back to back nights. And not against Oakland at home, and a 4-6 Charlotte team on the road. And if you think it’s going to get any easier, you’re new to this game.” (Rocky Top Talk)
Other Game of Interest
- Indiana 88, SIU-Edwardsville 54: “When you win by 30-plus and your opponent doesn’t hit a field goal until the 7:05 mark in the first half — which, yeesh — sometimes there’s not much to say. A dominant win is a dominant win.” (Inside the Hall: Part 1 and Part 2)
Pre-Game Analysis
- Previewing USC at Kansas: “Saturday marks the much anticipated debut of Kansas freshman Josh Selby. After a nine game NCAA mandated suspension Selby is clear to take the court in a Jayhawk uniform on Saturday and according to Bill Self that debut will most likely come from the bench and not in a starting role. That moment should be interesting to take in as the crowd reaction will certainly reflect the anticipation that has been building for the last several months.” (Rock Chalk Talk)
- Texas Basketball: North Carolina Preview: “The Tar Heels will be in front of a huge, partisan crowd, and if they get going, they’ll feed off the energy and I could see us getting rolled. If we avoid scoring droughts and get UNC settling for jump shots, I like our chances to play a tight game.” (Burnt Orange Nation)
- Gonzaga heads to Dallas to take on Baylor…LaceDarius Dunn licks his chops: “What most of us Gonzaga fans are wondering is…will Gonzaga really provide them with a test?” (The Slipper Still Fits)
