*************************************************
Arizona led 45-42 at halftime.
Melvin Council scored 23 points (6-25 from floor) had six assists.
Kansas was 21-25 on foul line, Arizona 8-14.
Darryn Peterson didn’t play, 11th game he’s missed for 19-5 Jayhawks.
Miami OH is the last unbeaten team in the country.
— St John’s 87, Xavier 82 OT
Red Storm were 28-41 on foul line, Xavier 9-17
Zuby Ejiofor scored 25 points, had five assists.
Xavier led by 5 with 8:04 left in the game.
When Rick Pitino coaches against his son, who does Mrs Pitino root for?
— Dylan Darling is a key player for St John’s, their point guard off the bench; he had 16 points, four assists in this game. It strikes me as odd that one of St John’s key players is a transfer from freakin’ Idaho State, not exactly a basketball factory.
— Louisville 118, NC State 77
118 points in 80 possessions; not a stellar job by NC State
Louisville made 18 of 30 shots on the arc, scored 1.47 ppp.
Cardinals scored 118 points, had only two players in double figures.
Mikel Brown scored 45 points, Ryan Conwell 31.
Bracketology has Louisville as a 6-seed in NCAA’s; if they’re a 6-seed, I would NOT want to be the #3-seed in that region. Louisville needs to be better than a 6-seed.
— Bradley 96, Belmont 84 OT
Belmont led by 3 with 0:37 left in regulation.
Loss snaps Belmont’s nine-game winning streak.
Bradley shot 17-36 on the arc, only 38.7% inside arc.
Belmont shot 60% inside arc, only 10-33 on arc.
— Anthony Roy is a 6-5 senior F for Oklahoma State; he’s had an interesting career:
2021- San Francisco
2022- Wenatchee Valley CC, in state of Washington
2023- New Mexico State
2024- Langston U, an NAIA school in Oklahoma
2025- Green Bay
2026- Oklahoma State
Six years, six different teams. 43.9% career shooter behind the arc.
— Alabama big man Charles Bediako’s college career is over; NCAA declared him ineligible and a court upheld that Monday. Bediako scored 10 ppg in five games for Alabama, gave them some force in the paint. He had played 21.6 minutes/game.
