Ok much better play in the 2nd half from the Buckeyes.  66-61 Duke with 3 mins left.

I'm shocked the Buckeyes could play so badly in the first half and still pick up the huge upset.  Cedric Russell is a revelation.  He looks way more poised than Meechie or Malaki.  He should start going forward.

Yeah the 3 point spread made no sense to me.  I would've bet on Duke if I could.

Scott Van Pelt pointed out the bad news of this upset.  Purdue will probably be #1 in the next poll.

Purdue with a 28 point beatdown of FSU.

Granted, FSU was shorthanded. It wasn't expected that with their limitations they could keep up. They're the sort of long athletic team that has given us fits in past years, so at full strength I was interested to see how Purdue would handle the test. But at far less than full strength, I didn't think it should be close.
 
I was happy to see Purdue leave no doubt.

I completely fell asleep - how bout them Buckeyes. Also thankful for Youtube, where I can watch the game with no commercials this morning.

I hope the Badgers can take one home tonight while I sleep. 

Is GT any good this year?

Not really - haven't played anyone and lost to Miami of Ohio. But not total garbage.

I did

Watching the replay - I thought Wendell Moore would just smoke them, given Justin Ahrens was often guarding him. He had a good game, but didn't completely smoke them. Otherwise, Banchero was ineffective and Duke couldn't guard Zed Key, which is not something I expected to type.

So yeah, ah, apparently we are a basketball school
