Key Highlights
- He really reminds us of what Purdue’s Matt Painter said about recruiting: once you get past the can’t-miss guys, everything else is a crapshoot. Not this guy.
- He understands the game, he has talent and he has an immense desire to win. Jeremy Dent-Smith came off the bench for 20 points in 21 minutes, hitting 7-8/6-7. AJ Rohosy is not particularly athletic, but he didn’t back down inside and was a big asset for the Cardinal. It was a huge win for Stanford and well deserved.

- The Heels are not closing games out well. In the SMU-Virginia Tech game, the Hokies were impressive most of the way through and ESPN listed the odds of Virginia Tech winning at 94.2% with :05 left. Then Boopie Miller struck, hitting a running three just beyond halfcourt as time ran out.
- It was an all-time shot for SMU basketball we’re sure, and they’ll talk about it for years. Like Duke, the Hokies shot poorly from the line, hitting just 11-18 (61%), which is going to drive Mike Young crazy for a couple of days.
- Former Blue Devil Jaden Schutt came off the bench for 15 points on 5-7/4-6 from the floor. AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementFinally, in the dull game of the night, Pitt beat up on Georgia Tech to a surprising degree.
