Around SBN: Ryder Hesjedal Wins Giro d'Italia

College Basketball Tonight

Kentucky travels to South Carolina tonight with a number 1 ranking bullseye affixed prominently on their backs. The problem is the team doing the shooting has 1, yes 1, player that would even see the floor for the Wildcats and that's 5-9 160 lb point guard Devan Downey. Downey's a nice player, but he's going to be on life support after one half of basketball chasing John Wall and Eric Bledsoe around the floor. There's a better than even chance that the Calipari makes a crude Cock reference in the post game presser so look forward to that.

Michigan State travels to Michigan in an intriguing matchup between Izzo's hard nosed m2m and John Beilen's 1-3-1 trapping zone. MSU's coming off a dramatic one point win @ Minnesota and they'll be tested tonight against a good Michigan club led by Manny Harris. Remember the Wolverines controlled Connecticut's big frontcourt with their zone and they can give the Spartans problems if they can play even on the backboards.

West Virginia travels to Depaul in a game that should be a blowout. If you like watching highly skilled ball players, you might check this game just to watch Da'Sean Butler and Devin Ebanks. Will Walker is no Rod Strickland, but he's an explosive guard for the Blue Demons.

KSUtravels to Baylor to try to rebound after an upset loss to Okie State. Baylor should give KSU's talented frontcourt all they want on the glass so the key to the game will be Tweety Carter and Lacedarius Dunn vs. Clemente and Pullen. More interesting than the matchups is the amount of letters to the editor that the Waco Tribune receives tomorrow morning claiming Frank Martin was speaking in tongues. I'll be watching for the number of ear muffed children sitting directly behind the Wildcat bench as Frank cusses another blue streak.

UNC, make that unranked UNC, travels to NC State to battle the Wolfpack to try to gain some respectability after being knocked out of the national rankings for the first time in a long while. It reminds me of what the Duke brothers, pardon the pun, did to Dan Akroyd in Trading Places by freezing his bank accounts and planting angel dust. I suppose that would make Clemson Eddie Murphy and Doris Burke Jamie Lee Curtis minus the extra chromosome.


ESPN color person, Doris Burke.

I'll also be watching Clemson vs. Boston College because Trevor Booker's wallet looks like this.


Bad.

And I like watching Demontez Stitt when he doesn't have to play the Duke Blue Devils.

What games will you be watching?

Pflugerville at Anderson — which you know is kinda like watching Kentucky vs. South Carolina.

I’ll be watching K-State-Baylor so I can say LACEDARIUS!!! every time Dunn scores. I’ve also been known to say, Tweetie on this, Mofo.

Maybe I just hate Scott Drew.

Like the Bears -2 tonight.

Very sad about Barnes not allowing the full kennel of hounds to be unleashed on Anthony Jones two years ago. He could really help us this year, particularly on back side defensive rebounding, and we could REALLY use his length next year. That one was a real miss in my estimation.

I’m really confused by the picture of Doris Burke with the black baby and the locker room with hanging jerseys on the left.

meh. We did try and we missed, can’t remember why. It’s not really hurting us that badly.

KSU beat Baylor by 2 in Waco, good game. Good win for KSU.

Ouch, didn’t count on the k-State guards, particularly Pullen, shooting like that on the road after the last two games they had.

Dick, Texas recruited Jones but Barnes never approved an offer because he was concerned about his intensity and toughness, and he wasn’t all wrong there. There were some gremlins involved in his recruitment, but the kid wanted to come to Texas and they probably could have been overcome if we really wanted him. When I said that he could really help us this year I might have overstated a tad, but he could help for sure. When I would really like to have him is next year when you look down the bench and see Hill, Chapman and Wangmene. I think Jones would look pretty darn good by comparison, particularly after time with Todd Wright. Just because Drew runs him around on the outside doesn’t mean that’s where he has to play all the time.

Jones reminds me of Stacy Augmon with a jumpshot. He’d fit in quite nicely on this Texas squad.

Kentucky about to go down in flames against a pretty average South Carolina crew.

On Jones, consider this, we’re playing Mason at the three spot for about 15 minutes per game. Jones would play right awayat the 3 spot for Texas if he could avoid being starstruck.

KY still down 4, with 40 secs to play….

I wholeheartedly agree with this.

Kentucky has been playing towards a loss like this for a while. They aren’t that great.

SC keeps fouling. Brilliant.

Suck it, Calipari.

SC has, what, one good player?

Guess Calipari didn’t pay enough to the refs.

My word. Is that a gamecock in the background? I think I would step out in front of a bus if I had to hear that every game.

KU plays in Manhattan on Saturday night for the right to be #1 again.

Good day for the UT rpi with road wins by UNC and MSU.

Trips, Mason isn’t playing 15 mpg because he’s the most deserving of those 15 minutes. Jones isn’t better or that much more senior than Jordan Hamilton. To your dismay, Mason would be playing regardless.

Back to the Michigan – MSU game. I watched the second half as I was on the treadmill at the gym.

First, can we please get a few more shots of Jalen Rose?

Second, can Texas get a point guard that can get his own shot as time expires?

That is all.

J’Covan has been nails in this role for Texas, but we are currently benching him in favor of more Mason point guard minutes.

“J’Covan has been nails in this role for Texas, but we are currently benching him in favor of more Mason point guard minutes.”

That’s killing me right now. I know J’Covan needs to step up his defense and has some issues with wild passes, but his 95% FT shooting should get him on the court a lot more than the last few games.
