Top 25 Games
- #3 Kansas 103, #15 Missouri 86: “For the first time in three seasons the Missouri Tigers walked into Allen Fieldhouse and put up a fight. After two consecutive trips resulting in early blowouts, the Tigers found the hot hand early and led the Jayhawks for a time in Monday night’s matchup. For Missouri it was a much needed confidence boost after four consecutive road losses since the start of league play. Unfortunately, a start was all it was and the Tigers just didn’t have an answer for the Kansas offense. The Jayhawks stayed the course, weathered the Missouri storm and slowly pulled away.” (Rock Chalk Talk)

- How Much Effect Do the Cameron Crazies Have on a Duke Game?: “It’s true, Cameron is pretty miserable – especially for sportswriters. They stick Dick Vitale somewhere in the rafters (smart!), and all of the press guys in the floor seats have Duke students right over their shoulder, a fate I woudn’t wish on anyone. But the players are on the court, not in the crowd, and are focused on the 94 by 54 foot space where the game is played. So it’s time to ask, outside the creation of the “Airball!” chant in the 70’s, have the Cameron Crazies had any effect on the game?” (Carolina March)
