Saved By The Bell
-- Steve Walentik of the Columbia (MO) Daily Tribune suggests Oklahoma's Taj Gray has lived up to preseason expectations. Funny. I didn't know there were any!-- More love for Ray Giacoletti. This time from Gordon Monson of the Scripps-McClatchy Western Service. Crediting Giacoletti with all that is good in the world isn't quite a meme, but may become one in NCAA Tournament previews.
-- Isn't it a little early for the Fort Worth (TX) Star-Telegram's Mike Jones to be asking Sean Sutton how he'd like to be remembered?
-- Dustin "Diamond" Dow of the Cincinnati Enquirer suggests Minnesota, Texas Tech and Georgetown are currently on the bubble. If the Hoyas win at least four of their remaining six games (which would mean defeating at least one of Notre Dame, Connecticut and Villanova) and pick-up a win in the Big East Tournament, I say they're in.
