The Dore's held off South Carolina in OT behind Shan Foster's 33 points. We shouldn't have let them get that close, as we were up by double digits in the second half. But at this point in the season a win is a win. We've got the inside track for the 2 seed in the east and a first day bye in the SEC tourney...good stuff.
UK beat another SEC lowlife playing without their best player. Beating georgia without their leader, Levi Stukes, at Rupp may have saved Tubby's job. If they had lost tonight they would have been swept this year by Florida, Vandy, and the Dogs...bad stuff.
But the real story of the night is the ridiculous Texas-Texas A&M game. The game was won by the Longhons 98-96 in double OT. the end of regulation was outrageous with 3 longballs in the last 30 seconds including shots by both team's superstar All-Americans, Kevin Durant (30pts 11rbs) and Acie Law (33pts 4rbs 5ast). Law's shot over Durant with 1.8 seconds would have been the shot of the year if the Aggies had pulled it out...good stuff.
Both these teams are final four contenders. in the tourney i always like the team with the single best player on the court. In Durant and Law, neither team will see an opponent with a player that is more dominant at their position and more clutch at the same time. These guys are studs, no doubt about it...great stuff!
