What a day Sunday was for college hoops. Talk about a plethora of close games! Illinois-Ohio State goes down to the last shot, with one of my storied "big white donkeys" (Sylvester) knocking down a huge three for a Buckeye victory. So much for the undefeated Big-10 season the Illini looked to have in the bag.

UNC and Duke put on another classic display, with Marvin the Magnificent converting a huge hoop-and-harm with 17 ticks left for one of the bigger wins in Dean Dome history. Sadly, the fans stormed the court after the game, an action which is usually reserved for big upsets, or tourney-clinching victories. UNC was ranked 4 spots ahead of Dook coming into this game...it looked bad on the Tar Heel nation. Act like you've won something before (to be fair, it was UNC's first ACC season title in 12 years).

Wake-NC State was another classic, with Chris Paul running the length of the floor and converting his runner as time expired. Deacons win, 55-53. Paul was also involved in a nasty crotch-punch incident, flooring NC State's Julius Hodge with a low blow.

Florida beat Kentucky for the first time in four years, on yet another close finish at the buzzer. Florida is now a MAJOR sleeper for the NCAAs. Will be interesting to see how they do in the SEC tournament.

Getting hyped for March 17th,
-Sensei.
