College basketball (almost) daily ...Still Blue So much for that Vanderbilt win propelling the Wildcats to a nice winning streak. Say hello to Jarvis Vernado (Marcus Camby Lite) of Mississippi State who racked a triple-double (10 points, 12 rebounds, 10 blocks) who won't be loosing his place atop NCAA shot blockers any time soon.
66 points is better than 36 For about 18 minutes, Michigan State played like the 6th ranked team they were prior to Saturday's debacle in Iowa City. For the other 22, they were merely a good Big Ten team able to hang on and beat Ohio State. The good news for the Spartans is that sooner or later Drew Neitzel will join in the fun this season and starting playing to potential. Hoosiers still the conference favorite for now with a tough road test looming Thursday in Minnesota.
Badgers win 8th straight Bo Ryan for coach of the year, again.
