Weekend rewind

Winners

  • Ohio State. They may reach the Final Four before Greg Oden even registers for classes. Thad Matta has done a superb job at Ohio State making the most out of his team and situation. Wow!
  • Arizona played Arizona basketball while routing Oregon State. The Silver Fox tweaked his core rotation, with Marcus Williams handling the ball as a point-forward, and high-energy Daniel Dillon and Fendi Onobun getting more PT. Hassan Adamas dished a career high 9 assists. Shakur and JP Prince were in the doghouse.
  • Gonzaga: The last time they faced a Trent Johnson team (Nevada @ 2004 NCAA), they got punched in the mouth early on and never recovered. This time, they got punched in the mouth again, but they were able to recover, and ride Adam Morrison to a big win. They needed strong games from both Morrison and Batista for the W. But clearly this is not a #2 seed team, unless Heytvelt and Knight fully recover.
  • Washington: They managed to outgrind UCLA with B.Roy showing the ABC world how a clutch player affects a game with his defense (blocking Farmar's last shot)
  • Duke: A walk in the ...college park.
  • UConn: Seton-who? Calhoun might as well have said: "If Duke can blow them out, so can we!"

    Losers
  • Miami failed to beat NC on their home court. Hello NIT! Although there's still time to make up for it since so many teams are playing their way out of the NCAAs.
  • Indiana losing at home to Iowa. Bad loss. Sliding...
  • Michigan getting owned by Purdue. Granted they were without a couple of injured players but getting blown out was bad.
  • Michigan State has shown that the early November blow-out at Hawaii was not an isolated event. They got owned by the Gophers.
  • Maryland is still struggling. And this time there's no Gilchrist to blame.
  • Jay Bilas: Jay Bilas shredded Mike Davis on Saturday's College Gameday for not showing for the game, while admiting he did not know how bad his flu was. That would have been fine if he at the same time he defended and praised Quin Snyder. He did admit/disclose that Quin Snyder is one of his best friends. But don't worry, there isn't any Duke bias in the media, is there?
