MINNESOTA: The Golden Gophers (16-6, 4-5 Big 10) revenged December’s double-OT loss at Assembly Hall with a 77-72 overtime victory at Williams Arena Saturday. Coach Tubby Smith’s (96-59 in 5th season at Minneapolis) bench carried his crew much of the night with 39 points compared to 9 for Illinois’s backups before 6’4″ starting G Austin Hollins (8.7p, 2.1r, 44a) capped regulation with a 3-point play with 4 seconds remaining. This was Minny’s 3rd victory over a RPI top-50 team since January 12th.

Rematch of the 2008 Super Bowl thriller with the Giants scoring late to stop the 18-0 Patriots, 17-14. Much of the same cast returns for both teams, including the head coaches. The Giants have 14 players remaining from the 2008 Super Bowl team, the Patriots have seven. Back in August the Patriots were 5-to-1 and the Giants 18-to-1 to win the Super Bowl.

GEORGETOWN: The Hoyas (16-3, 6-2 Big East) made just 12 shots from the field – including only 3 first half makes – in 41 attempts but managed the game’s final 7 points to steal a 52-50 victory at the Verizon Center Saturday over the scrappy Scarlett Knights (beat Florida & Connecticut) as the referees dragged Head Coach John Thomson’s crew over the finish line with 36 free throws awarded the home team compared to just 7 for Rutgers. Expect anything more in Washington, DC?

AUBURN: The Tigers (12-7, 2-3 SEC) rode a superb 29-8 second-half run to a 63-52 home victory over South Carolina Saturday fueled by Head Coach Tony Barbee’s (23-27 in 2nd-year at Birmingham) defensive emphasis, forcing 23 turnovers on the night and holding the Gamecocks without a double-digit scorer. Last season, the former Conference USA Coach of the Year taught the nation’s youngest squad up to 7.8 steals per game and as his offense starts to come along, another contender in the SEC may be born.

Tennessee: The Volunteers (8-9, 1-2 SEC) took Kentucky to the wire Saturday in a 62-65 loss at Thompson-Boling, holding the Cats to 21 of 49 from the field with just 7 assists and marking this crew’s 3rd well-played contest against a top-20 opponent in 8 days. Senior G Cameron Tatum (9.4p, 3.8r, 45a) led Coach Counzo Martin’s (1st season at Knoxville) group with 16 points while junior F Jerome Maymon (11.5p, 7.7r) added 15 with 10 boards but the big story was the debut of 17-year-old Jarnell Stokes.

This is it, the final weekend of games before the Super Bowl with the Ravens, Patriots, Giants and 49ers squaring off. The last month we’ve been hearing about playoff seedings, bye weeks and home field advantage. Are all those things really important? Historically it has been during the second round of the playoffs. Teams with the bye have home field advantage and two weeks to prepare, both of which are usually important edges this time of year. Read the rest of this entry »

North Carolina: The Tarheels (15-2, 2-0 ACC) didn’t get their typical offensive production from the front court but the bigs did board (+16 rebounds) and play defenese plus guards Strickland and Marshall each set season high marks with 14 and 12 points while shutting down Miami’s superb pair of Malcolm Grant and Durand Scott on the way to a 73-56 victory Tuesday night capping a 9-0, 5-week homestand at the Smith Center.
