My ongoing College Basketball thread

[smilesid]

Was at the BSU/CSU game.

The late night tip off cut down on viewers, but it was one of the best I've seen. BSU was up by 10 early, CSU stormed back with dominance on the boards and 3 pointers and led by 12 late.

Then Boise's Derrick Marks caught fire, scoring 22 of the last 27 points, plus 4 of the remaining 5 coming from assists. Larry Eustachy got teed up for running onto the court protesting a charging call. That turned out the key play of the game, BSU went from 5 down to 1 up and then held on.

82-78 BSU.

If Virginia wins tonight they should be #1. They play in a tougher conference then Kentucky. Playing in the ACC and being undefeated is impressive. Playing in the SEC is weak. I mean Georgia is the 2nd best team at 14-5. Not impressive. Don't get me wrong Kentucky is very very good but was Virginia has done is more impressive.

Actually A&M is the second best team in the SEC not Georgia
