College Basketball 12-8

**Illinois beat Oakland tonight. That's not that big of a deal. They used a women's ball for the first 7 minutes because nobody noticed. That is a big deal.

**Missouri is playing Vanderbilt in a match-up of schools with the exact same color scheme. This game is kind of crazy but I get the feeling that you could say that about any game that Mizzou is involved in. The Tigers aren't the best team in the country but they are somebody you want to avoid because you never know what might happen. LB Grad Hubert Davis is doing the color commentary and he's pretty solid. Go Bruins.

**Jimmy Dykes is doing color for the ND - UK game. He always comes up with some arbitrary ranking system. Tonight he is ranking different spots on the floor for shooters. Last time he had some 5 point scale to determine if a guy would play in the pros.

**It looks as if some of the oldest women in the planet are sitting behind the Vanderbilt bench. God Bless them.

**Mizzou forced OT but they don't deserve to win. They take the worst shots of all time. They just keep up this insane pace that forces the other team into mistakes.

**I used to root for other Big East schools when they played out of conference. Yeah I don't do that anymore. That is something that you do when the team that you root for is middle of the pack or in the bottom. You don't need to do that when your team is legit. To hell with everybody else. Unless they playing Maryland of course.

**Speaking of the Big East, I think they should start kicking out schools. I think it's time that DePaul goes away. They got blown out by the Sycamores of Indiana State tonight. Last time I checked Larry Bird doesn't play for them anymore.

**Notre Dame gets more rebounds than you would think. That's something to worry about for JT3. If JT3 is worried about, I'm worried about it.

**Jones for UK is a stud. That being said, I don't think the strategy of throwing a bunch of 1-and-done freshmen on the team every year will win a national championship.

**It's good for Georgetown's RPI, SOS, and all that numbers junk, but I really don't think that Mizzou "deserved" that win tonight. But, hey, that's what good teams have to do. They have to get wins when they don't play all that well. Anybody can win when you play well.

Peace brah
