Kentucky falls to Florida at home 70-62. It’s going to be a long month without Howard. On the bright side Chastity Patterson scored 25 points. I think she could really turn out to be a good pick up for Mitchell. We need other players contributing. Our recruiting has never fully recovered from the mass transfers a couple of years ago. Mitchell also seems to struggle with recruiting posts. We’ve had a couple good posts over the years, but apart from Stallworth, Akhator, and Alexis Jennings he never seems to develop them to their potential.

JMU gets creamed by Drexel in Philly, 70-48. I hope the rumors come to pass and Villanova steals Drexel's coach. She's a Nova grad so it might just be where her heart is.....and would give the rest of the CAA some breathing room.

Gee-Zoo-EEEE.

Some interesting games:

ND takes a morale-boosting game over GA Tech

After trailing KS by 22 at the half, OK turns it on and ties it in reg., and goes on the win it by 12.... That comes close to their record comeback at Cal, when they overcame a 26 pt deficit to win, during the Paris years.

Speaking of Cal, they get their first PAC 12 win over WA St. in OT.

Duke gave NC State all it could handle, losing by only 3.

Carter-less TX A&M falls by one to Lsu.

MN beats Rutgers by 2 in 2OT.

Unranked MI takes out #18 Iowa. Comfortably.

In the Big East today,

Thriller between Seton Hall and Villanova in Philly today. Seton Hall was down by 9 entering the 4th quarter before fighting back. Frosh Mya Jackson went to the line with 4 secs left with a chance to take the lead as Seton Hall was down 63-62. She made the first and missed the second but Shadeen Samuels go the rebound and made a shot for the 65-63 Seton Hall win.

These two games went as expected:

St. John's won at Georgetown 74-68 (a tad closer than I would have expected but still a SJU win).

DePaul wins easily at home over Providence 93-71 and DePaul's Kelly Campbell had a triple-double.

Marquette about gave me a heart attack but prevails in a thriller over Creighton 52-50. Lauren Van Kleunen hit the go ahead bucket for MU with .7 secs left. Creighton got off a decent shot late but thankfully it was off the mark. Marquette was awful in the first half with only 6 points in the first quarter and only 19 points at the half when they trailed by 13. But they shut down Creighton fairly well in the second half holding them to only 4 points in the 3rd quarter and did just enough to pick up this big win. Their free throw shooting almost cost them this game as they were an awful 6 of 13 from the line . Marquette moved to 17-5 and 8-3 in the BE and are alone in 2nd place in the conference right now.
