Let’s Go. College Basketball had some amazing games yesterday. The West Virginia/Syracuse ending was terrific, and Texas survives in OT. John Wall helps the Wildcats get past an underrated Auburn team. A lot of action. How good is Scottie Reynolds, he dropped 36 at Louisville in a Big East battle, and made a big time bucket in the waning seconds against Georgetown today. A game where Greg Monroe scored 29 points and grabbed 16 rebounds. Entering the Big Ten, Evan Turner is back and he is unbelievable. He may still win Player of the Year, even after being out 4 weeks. They say he is only 70% right now, but he is killing it. I can’t wait to see him in the NBA. Staying in the Big Ten, why do so many critics overrate Purdue, they are always so highly rated and continually get upset. They lost to Northwestern and are now 2-3 in the conference. OVERRATED (clap-clap-clapclapclap) I would like a crowd to chant that. Moving on to the SEC, what a week for Tennessee. I always criticize Bruce Pearl, but after beating Kansas, Auburn, and Mississippi, it’s hard to create any argument (except his performance in the Big Dance).
