For the second time this year a college basketball team lost it's next game after being moved to number one in the polls. Just like Texas last week, this week it is Kentucky that looses on the road to South Carolina. I would guess, as long as they don't lose this week, Kansas will be the new number one, which I think they should be, since I believe they are the best team in the nation. Kentucky should only move down to 2, as long as they don't lose again this week. They are still a very good team, and they are going to be there in the end. The only question will be how will they bounce back from one loss, and then in the long run how will playing so many freshmen effect them in the big dance. But in today's basketball world your class really doesn't matter. These kids have played so many big games in high school, AAU and at elite camps, that they do not get worried playing anyone. Nice win, but that wasn't the game that I enjoyed the most last night.
MSU-Michigan played last night in AA and MSU won by one by a Lucas jump shot with 3.5 left. Simns missed a falling away tip in, with some contact, but it was make able, that is for sure. Tough loss for Michigan, who really does have some talent, they just have lost too many close games, that they needed to go the other way. IMO they now need to win the big ten tournament to make the big dance. I really think MSU will not lose a close game in the big ten, they are just too good and too well coaches. You better be up at least 8, if not 10 at the under 4 in the second half, or you are not going to win. MSU has some problems, but depending on draw they could be once again a final four team.
Wings lost a tough one 5-4 in OT. That is a bad loss for them, since scoring has been a problem, if they score 4 goals in a game, they need to win it.
The Pistons are back to struggling, after a nice win over the Celtics, they get killed by the Pacers, and have the Griz tonight, which is no longer a easy win. In fact it will be a very tough game for them, and their 15 wins. I am close to hoping they just turn it off and start positioning for the lottery. Of course they don't need Wall, because they have Stuck, but he is more of a scorer, but if they got the number one pick, they could take him, and play wall and stuck, ta, Cv, and then get a big. Then have Ben G as your 6th man. Still they got to trade RIP. I like RIP, but clearly you are rebuilding, get what you can for him now, and move on. Hopefully they can start winning some games. I would really love to be in position to get Turner or Wes Johnson, since they could start right away IMO, once they just get ride of Ta Ta, who has basically been hurt all year. Though getting a big like Cole wouldn't be terrible either. I guess they need a lot right now, that is hard for me to admit. I'm right, you're wrong
