Kansas St beats Kansas in OT, classic of a game.  Alley oop dunk to Keyontae Johnson, the Florida transfer who passed out on the court then missed two full years.  

What a moment

Dayton Richmond and VCU all won, along with Saint Louis looks like a clear top 4 in the A10 this year

Seton Hall beats #5 UCONN at the buzzer, first big win for Shaheen Holloway at Seton Hall

Despite these recent lossees UCONN remains  #6 KenPom, #49 for Seton Hall who are looking bubbleish

Gonzaga's 76 game win home streak is over after 6 straight seasons of wins, lost by  a point.  

 

TCU 83 Kansas 60.  At Kansas

Think Pittsburgh would like the Jamie Dixon decision redo?

Duke lost again, to Virginia Tech, who came in 1-7 in a down ACC

Is Duke still "Duke" Post Coach K? or do they revert to just another program

Georgetown ends its 29 game conference losing streak by beating DePaul tonight.

Etc....

Georgetown came real close to blowing the game, they had a 12 point lead with about 2 minutes left, DePaul pulled within 3 with seconds left but a Georgetown player hit 2 free throws to put the game away. I definitely thought Georgetown was going to choke the game away. DePaul was probably their best shot at winning a Big East game.

Bamisile got in because Oklahoma was getting crushed by TCU. Imagine how good GW would be with Bamisile? When he transferred, I didn't think it was that big of a deal because I thought GW would be below average regardless if he stayed, but seeing the team exceed expectations up to this point changes everything.

The Dude, good question about Duke, I saw a stat on ESPN indicating that Duke rarely had this many losses(6) at this point in any season under Coach K. The times it did happen, Duke missed the NCAA tournament or was a low seed. The season after Coach K had his back surgery(1996??), Duke was just an 8 or 9 seed. It seemed as if Duke was a number 1 seed in the NCAA tournament for the next 15 years after that season!! LOL

Speaking of stunning....  Louisville has a KenPom of 300

 

Last night, I attended Maryland's win over Indiana (the Terps gave a clinic on how to play defense).  Among those at the game included Scott Van Pelt, Gary Williams (seated next to and slightly behind SVP) and Jimmy Patsos seasted next to Gary.  Shortly before the game started, Mike Locksley came over to say hello along with someone who from a distance (I was in the lower bowl but on the other side of the court) looked very much like Chris Caputo.  He seemed especially friendly speaking with Patsos which of course makes sense.  But of course, CC's team would have presumably been in Philadelphia by then as they face La Salle tonight.

Can anyone who might know for a fact confirm whether this was CC at the Maryland game?  On one hand, I would have thought that CC would have been with his team the night before a game.  On the other hand, he could have easily attended a high school game earlier in the day, drove to CP for the Maryland game, and then drove or took the train to Philadelphia late at night.  I realize that there are tons of guys who likely look like CC from a distance.  Really, I am nothing more than curious.  (FYI..there was definitely a Mike Lonergan sighting as well.)

I was at the game also. I saw Patsos and Lonergan together at one point, and saw Coach Williams and SVP chatting together.
I didn't see CC there and seriously doubt he would be at a Terps game during the season anyhow.
As for HS games, I often see local college HC's at HS games even the night before their game. LaSalle is only a couple hours away so that kind of distance wouldn't prevent a college coach from attending a HS game to recruit or show love to a target.
Willard is doing a great job in his 1st year at MD. He's doing it with Turg's players for the most part and if you follow the rule of some on this board, he gets a freebie in his 1st year anyway.
On the other hand, maybe CC was there to inquire about any future openings on Willards staff for next year!
