I believe it is safe to say that perimeter defenders beware because Chris Lofton is back. His 7-13 3PM-3PA is a sign that the slumping senior is back to his deadly accuracy and will be a force down the stretch. This makes Tennessee an even more attractive Final Four pick as well as viable choice to win it all.
The Big East can be won: Notre Dame, Rutgers, and Georgetown's wins today show that in the Big East any team can beat anybody else on any night. Notre Dame dropped 90 in a ten point win at Villanova. Rutgers shocked the wounded Panthers with a huge second half effort as they posted a double digit win. Georgtown took a top ten ranking into a electric West Virginia gym and they needed a huge three in the waning seconds to escape with a close win.
Baylor's exciting run back into the Top 25 came to an abrupt end at the hands of the Oklahoma Sooners. Their 77-71 loss shows that maybe they weren't quite ready for the pressure of being a top team. Their wealth of talent is sure to remember that because this is not the last time we've heard from the Bears, they will be back.
Jim Calhoun relied on an old reliable in the Huskies shocking road victory over Indiana. The defense of UCONN stymied super frosh Eric Gordon into 5-16 shooting. Craig Austrie had been with the Huskies when they were successful several years ago. He had been pushed out of the rotation by younger players but had a chance today. The sudden suspension of sophomore G Jerome Dyson showed Calhoun that he needed Austrie to help lead the young Huskies. He responded with a team high 15 points and helped settle down his team on the road.
