HUGE win by Utah at Kentucky! They now get #20 SDSU at home before OSU. Utah is better than peeps on this board seem to give them credit for, assuming a split is a sure thing on that roadie. OSU will have to play it's two best games of the season to win those. Although did I see a wrong score... ASU lost by 40?! To St Mary's... yikes! St. Mary's is a good team and (likely? maybe?) a tournament team. That being said that's a poor showing and a bad scoreline for sure. Either ASU didnt show up or Saint Mary's came in pissed off having lost two games already thus dropping them from the polls. Or both. Big win for Utah though. The roadies in the mountains are going to be tough. I dont see any way we sweep them again this year and would be very pleased with a split.

At this point, St. Mary's looks like a likely Tournament team. The Devils had the 12th-best three-point defense in the country coming in, and the Gaels shot 61.54% from beyond the arc. The Gaels actually shot better from beyond the arc than from inside the arc. Arizona State shot 13.64% from beyond the arc. St. Mary's wound up scoring 39 more points from beyond the arc, which accounts for 39 points of the 40 point loss. The rest can be explained with the Devils turning the ball over five more times than the Gaels, and St. Mary's shooting nine more free throws.

You're missing the best stat of that box score last night Wilky. Some ASU dude came off the bench and scored 43 of their 56 points. How does that happen? Plus, he only made 1 3-pointer and only made 6 free throws. Only guy in double figures.

Plus, he only made 1 3-pointer and only made 6 free throws. Only guy in double figures. I saw that. Only two of the five starters scored. What is also crazy is that that bench guy came in and scored 43 but finished at -41 in +/- It looked like the Devils got down big and just quit, except for that one guy.

Always a ver good scorer in high school that Illinois recruited some until it became apparent he was going to have to go the JC route. Certainly has what it takes to be very good scorer in conference.
