- Does Villanova look to you like the same team that started 20-1? Do they look like the same team when compared to…their last game? If you said no to either of those questions, there’s a reason for that. Mike DeCourcy takes an interesting look at a chameleon-like Wildcats squad that even Jay Wright describes as still “evolving.” And when a team is described as playing basketball “like they were in a pie-eating contest,” you know you’re going to have to read that article.
- Beyond The Arc’s Mike Miller says, after Ohio State’s win over Illinois last night, the player of the year race is all but over. The Villain and the Buckeyes now have nine days off. A certain Kentucky point guard has two games in that time span, including a nationally televised affair this Sunday that will represent his final game in Rupp Arena. Your move, John Wall.
- It was a photo finish for Place in the Race for 2,000 wins, but last night North Carolina crossed the finish line with their win against Miami. And the lack of fanfare that accompanied this achievement was deafening. Ironic that this would be the UNC team that contributed this nugget of history to Tar Heel lore. Kansas is next, three wins away from 2,000.
- Got a Kentucky fan in the family? We have your Christmas shopping done already. You’re welcome.
- We wonder if Georgia Tech boss Paul Hewitt gets those phone and snail-mail subscription solicitations for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution like other people get for their local newspaper. We’re thinking he probably gets his news online.
