As I was writing the above, UK opened up lead on the Hoosier, but Indiana has closed it to 3 late in the first half. The Buckeyes and Bulldogs finally found the range, and it's a close battle going on there. We seem to have two good games in Indiana at the moment.

Butler's opened up an 8-point lead, but the Buckeyes still have time. The Hoosiers, however, are running out of that commodity.

Except for the crying, it's all over for the Hoosiers, and it's getting that way for the Buckeyes. The Big Ten's about to take another double-hit.

Whoa, Ohio State's made a furious comback, and cut it to 3 with 45 ticks left. Stay tuned.

Finals: Kentucky 90, Indiana 73. And Butler 74, Ohio State 66, with that margin almost totally from the line.

Hey, here's another interesting score for you:

Seton Hall 64, VMI 51 - in the first half.
Seton Hall 70, VMI 56 - in the second half.
Game final, Seton Hall 134, VMI 107. Now, there's a defensive war for you.

Kansas stomping La Salle - no shock.
Georgetown/Washington a battle - no shock.
McNeese State up 12 over Mississippi with 12 minutes left - say what now?

Ole Miss has come back to tie, and the Hoyas opening up against Washington. Oh, and George Mason beat Creighton by 3.

Mississippi makes late big run to whomp McNeese State, as they should have from the tipoff. Both Kansas and Georgetown in control of their games - the Jayhawks as expected, and the Hoyas further shaming the Pac-10.

How about them Syracuse Orangemen! Seems like they never get much press at the beginning of the year but find a way to make noise.

Don't get to hyped yet, boys. You know Jim Boeheim - make him too excited and he starts crying.

There were several interesting scores last night, and not merely amongst the ranked:

# 18 Ohio State 78 - Presbyterian 48 = Well, this isn't one of them, except for the fact that the Buckeyes were the latest to spank the Blue Hose (yeah, that's right, Blue Hose ). So far these guys have lost to Clemson, Furman, Illinois, Bradley, UNC, and now OSU. Their next 3 games are against Dayton, Marquette, and Florida. As I said - good for them. Hey, if Kansas and Texas had played as tough a schedule, we might know better if they are for real or not.

# 20 Mississippi 91 - UTEP 81 (OT) = Yeah, I figgered this would be a good game, and the second time in a row Ole Miss has struggled.

# 22 Georgia Tech 65 - AR Pine Bluff 53 = Here's another I class as a "bad" win. A dozen points over those guys? Pleeze.

UAB 64 - # 25 Cincinnati 47 = Now here's a good win, and a loss that will put Cincy out of the rankings.

I also found interesting the 62-57 win by American over DePaul, and the double-overtime game between Duquesne and Canisius. As for tonight, the only game I found that's of even the slightest interest is:

Auburn vs. Florida State = Eh. As I said, "the slightest interest". Enjoy.

James, there are more "Cats" in the NCAA than will fit in a Dolly Partonesque gunnysack, but I'll assume you mean Kentucky here. Yes, they have a good team, and seem a potential Final Four candidate. As for Syracuse, the 'freak is also right, to a point. True, Jim Boeheim appears to have a better squad than what experts expected before the season started, but despite their success so far I cannot see them playing on three consecutive weekends come March. Besides, a win over St. Francis NY? C'mon. The Orangemen often get hot, either early or late, yet very rarely do they finish that way. Well, we will see.

Other scores of interest, aside from blowouts, on Saturday:

# 4 Purdue 73 - Alabama 65 = A nice win, but hardly dominance.
# 11 Georgetown 74 - # 24 Washington 66 = Mark this in your chimney, boys: UW is the highest-ranked Pac-10 team, and they barely made it.
# 15 Gonzaga 103 - Davidson 91 = There's no Curry on this 'Cats team, so put this down as a "bad" win. A dozen points ain't squat.
# 17 Kansas State 95 - former # 18 (now unranked) UNLV 80 = To me it's odd that this loss dropped UNLV from #18 to out, but not as odd as the win kicking KSU from out to #17. Just shows to go ya how useless rankings are this early.
# 19 New Mexico 84 - # 23 Texas A&M 81 = Pretty much ditto as above.

Some other scores of interest were Va. Tech over Penn State and Western Carolina over Louisville. The first does not surprise me, but the second? Well, I thought that UNC-Charlotte had a team to beat the Cardinals, but I never expected the Catamounts to do so.

On Sunday:

Temple 75 - # 8 Villanova 65 = I told you this would be a game. That's Philly ball for you. Those Big Five play tough, especially against each other.
Xavier 83 - # 25 Cincinnati 79 (2OT) = And I told you this would be a game too, but who ever listens to me?

Speaking of listening to me, St. John's beat Fordham 73-56 and go to 8-1 for the season. The win over the Rams may not mean a lot to you, but those other include decent programs like Siena, Georgia, St. Bonaventure and - oh yeah, the aforementioned Temple Owls. Are they getting any love, gettysburgfreak? Fark no.

The only game tonight of any interest is # 22 Georgia Tech vs. UT-Chattanooga. Well, there's also Bethune-Cookman vs. Carver Bible. Enjoy.

We must agree to disagree then pistols at noon at 10 paces.

Of all of the teams so far, Syracuse has been the most impressive. I mean they've STOMPED 3 top 15 ranked teams already. Not just beaten, but embarrased them.

That doesn't happen by accident, and it's unlikely to be done by a team that's just a flash in the pan or just on a hot streak.

They have played very well so far, and may indeed continue to do so. And Boeheim is, I will readily admit, not nearly the whiner he used to be, whether to do with greater age or greater success and respect. I confess there are some top programs with which I have my problems, but my "problems" with the Orangemen are much more picayune and mundane than with others, so I do not wish them ill. If they manage to maintain their high level of play they could go far in the NCAA tourney, and I'd not cry if they do so.
