There were a lot of good round ball games on this past week!!
Loyola of Chicago barely pulled off that game against Tennessee. I was pulling for Loyola. Tennessee was shooting the ball pretty good there toward end of the game. I though it was going in to OT when it was tied at 61.
Duke keeps zipping right along.
Kentucky doing the same thing.
Kansas barely won the game over Seton Hall. It was a close game in second half.
Texas Tech I was pulling for over Florida Gator. Texas just couldn't keep that 6 to 8 point lead in the second half.
But they did win.
I was pulling for Ohio State over Gonzage. The just couldn't catch up.
That was a bad lost for Virginia against MD-Baltimore. One of there good player was injury. Can't win them all.
I'm a channel flipper when it come to sports. When a commercial come on I check out another game to see what is happening!
But I always get back to the game I'm watching.

Duke will reign supreme.. I think Grayson Allen should not be allowed to play any games the rest of the season. If I saw him on the street, I'd probably trip him up and then do a Christian Laettner on him....step on him as he's laying on the ground! LOL |

A quiet evening for bball with Okie State beating Stanford. But my grandson kept me up to date with the 29 point win by North Texas Over mercer in the CBI. Looks like tonight will be a couple of NIT games.

At this point, it's anyone's tournament. My Cats are the lowest seed in the south. The way they have been playing all year, I was surprised they didn't make the NIT. They shocked me by winning the SEC tournament. Here is another tidbit of information. No UK team that has one the SEC tournament has ever won the National Championship! So, those of you that hate UK, can probably breathe a sigh of relief. |

Kind of nice to see L'ville gt blown out in the NIT last night. Just wish it had been someone other than Miss State doing it.
Grandson/s school, UNTx, plays Jack St in the CBI tonight.

Gosh I really hope Duke does not win it all. But it is setup just right for them.
