Around the NCAA - weekend of 12/14

Is this ASU box score accurate? 43 of their 56 points were scored by one kid off the bench? lol.

Cincy's issue is shooting woes. If they get back to shooting a halfway decent % they'll be tough to beat. Much improved scoring inside. That said, i see looking at box that the frosh Adams-Wood started. I had a few Syracuse work contacts say they missed getting him and it was a mistake. It looks like they're right.

That kid Alonzo Verge was recruited by Providence out of HS - he was Mr Chicago and Illinois AllState but had some academic issues - went JUCO and led nation JUCOs (as I remember) in scoring his 2nd year - ASU grabbed him this past summer
Crazy stat though - 75% of their total points - like Wilt!!!
 
Seton Hall, without Myles Powell and Sandro Mamukelashvili, leading #7 Maryland at the half, 27-18.
 
Seton Hall up double digits late in the game against Maryland. No one is safe.

#7 Maryland down 11 to Seton Hall with 12 to go in the 2nd. Thank God this game saves me from having to watch Duke.

Kentucky looked awful, that Utah team is bad and their point guard looks like he's 10 years old. I can't remember a year with so few good teams.

I've always liked Walton but he was unbelievably annoying last night.

I'd honestly be okay with the guy but he provides very little basketball commentary value for me and talks more off topic stuff versus talking about what is in front of him.

I also find it funny to watch his co-commentators faces when they interact with him. I don't think they enjoy the assigment too much. His name is the only thing keeping him in his seat unfortunately. End rant. :)
 
Willard needs to win this game. 10 point lead with under 5 minutes left.

Edit: Seton Hall is playing scared, and Willard took the air out of the ball 2 possessions too soon.

SH needed to convert that 1:1. Free throws down the line win games.

Edit: those 1:1's and shooting foul. Crazy finale.
 
Seton Hall may have just saved their season without their two best players but man they are tight at the end of games.

That was a terrible, lazy call by the officials on the Maryland 3 point attempt. Any ref that thinks a shooter kicking a defender on a shot is a foul on the defender shouldn't be officiating any level above 6th grade rec.

I am frequently critical of Willard, but tonight was a nice win. Nelson's steal inside the last minute was a tremendous play, baiting Maryland into making a bad pass. McKnight and Nelson are just ballers. Fun to watch.

Pirates played well, and I like their defense, but a national championship contender like Maryland needs to shoot better from the field. Maryland is at the top of my list of potential early round upset victims in March.
