The Quick and Dirty
I was out yesterday evening, away from a computer.Washington Dissapoints -- Despite another stellar performance by 5'8" Nate Robinson, the Huskies go down. Props to UAB. The Blazers played hard, smart and appeared very determined.
Kansas Heart Kansas City -- Its good to be close to home and the (mediocre) Jayhawks showed why. Illinois-Chicago didn't put up much of a fight.
Musketeer Momentum -- Xavier's comeback against Louisville was, in a word, impressive. Not because the Cardinal played particularly well, but because the Musketeers demonstrated "that something extra" so often missing after a team works its way through a grueling conference tournament.
Pittsburgh's Promise -- Was not on display yesterday evening. Central Florida kept it close, no doubt aided by the Panthers' offensive woes. Pitt shot a season-worst 29.5 percent, and had their fewest field goals (13) and assists (seven).
