Big Monday

Villanova 53 8) Georgetown 55- for the umpteenth time this season Georgetown got bailed out at the end of a game this time it was a phantom foul called on Corey Stokes, sending Jonathon Wallace to the line with .1 sec left to win the game on the freest free-throws taken this season. Either this Georgetown team is the most poised teama down the stretch or else God really is on the side of the Catholics because while they sit at 20-3 they could just as easily be 16-7. As for Nova, the only thing that looked good about their second half was Jay Wright's suit. The Cats missed their last 15 three-pointers and now sit at 14-9 and 4-7 in the Big East and seem to be on the outs of the field of 64.

3) Kansas 69 11) Texas 72- This game proved that the up's and down's of the early season are behind the longhorns and that this team is for real. Damion James sparked the Longhorns who overcame a 4 point halftime deficit for the win. James had a double-double in the second half alone, scoring 12 points and grabbing 13 rebounds. Rick Barnes proved he can do more than recruit as his gameplan worked to perfection in this one. Texas pressured the ball all night and kept the Jayhawks from running and getting into sync on offensive, handing them their second loss in 33 regular season games.

21) St. Mary's 54 Santa Clara 50-like Gonzaga a few years ago, St. Mary's keeps escaping upset bids by weak WCC opponents. It took until 24 seconds left until the Gaels (really?) safely took the lead in this one, making one wonder if they are benefitting from an easy WCC schedule or whether they are really a top 25 team.

Worst Week

Think you had a bad week? Doubt if can compare to this one...

Kevin Hart- ...honestly we feel bad for the guy. Yes, he was a two star recruit with no offers from anywhere (D-2 included) but the guy really wanted to play D-1 football. His story is no different than the movie Accepted, where the guy fakes all sorts of stuff and pretends he's attending a good college when really he's doing nothing (seriously how dumb were his parents?...actually...how dumb are the Hart's now that we're thinking of it.) His saga is nothing different than the movie Accepted....so stop judging and start laughing, like you did for the movie, for the crazy escapades of Kevin Hart because for the past few months this kid were calling an idiot made all the adults around him look like even bigger idiots. So that is why Kevin Hart had the worst week out of all of us.

What The F*** Happened This Weekend?...Recap

Another weekend in college basketball went by, and like the Blue Devils we're jumping up and having a sword fight in the air while recapping this weekends games.

3) Duke 93 Maryland 84-The Dukies avoided the same fate that their brothers down tobacco road as they rallied in the second half to down Maryland. The Blue Devils outscored the terps 51-33 in the second half of this one, and were clearly excited as Gerald Henderson's man bump in the picture indicates (seriously that is like straight up all man touching there. They could have at least attempted to make it look like they were trying to chest bump).

Connecticut 68 8) Indiana 63- With two players suspended (they didn't steal lap tops this time) Connecticut went into Indiana and upset the top-10 Hoosiers. Jim Calhoun said it was one of his best victories as a coach, and it could be just what this team needs to jumpstart itself out of mediocrity.

9) Georgetown 58 West Virginia 57- Georgetown is boring, has looked sloppy, and seems to get luck...but they keep on winning. For the second game in a row, Jessie Sapp scored the final 5 points for the Hoyas in another come from behind victory. Patrick Ewing pulled his best impression of his father with his block/goaltend as time expired.

11) Wisconsin 56 Purdue 60- In a matchup of two of the whitest teams in college basketball, Purdue was able to pull it out and take claim to the Aryan trophy. It was a big win for Purdue who is now tied with Wisconsin for second place in the Big Ten.

What The F*** Happened Last Night? Big Monday

We're keeping an Eddie Sutton-like sobriety and bringing you a recap of last nights Big Monday games.

Syracuse 62 9) Georgetown 64- For a time in the second half it looked like the Hoyas we're going to drop their second Big Monday contest in a row. With his defense struggling to contain Johnny Flynn (24 points on like 50 shots) John Thompson III brought in Jeremiah Rivers to ail his teams defensive woes. Rivers, the son of the Good Doctor, was just what Georgetown needed as he shut down Flynn and sparked a late rally to give the Hoyas the victory.

12)Texas 63 Oklahoma St. 61- In a rematch of last year's triple OT thriller, these two Big 12 teams gave fans another electric performance. DJ Augustine dropped 26 for the Longhorns in their victory of Eddie Sutton Jr.'s squad. Ok St. had an opportunity at the end of regulation but rushed the shot under the basket to seal the game.

San Francisco 64 Gonzaga 72- In the night cap, the drunker Sutton, Eddie Sr., was looking for win number 800, but the Zags wouldn't allow it. Josh Heytvelt had six points, seven boards, and a handful of shrooms to lead Gonzaga in this one. Up next for the Zags is undefeated Memphis on Saturday.
