#11 Texas held off Rice, 66-55, in Austin this afternoon. Rice was within 53-51 with 5:52 to play, and the score remained unchanged for the next two and a half minutes. Texas then pulled away in the last few minutes, as Rice went scoreless for over five minutes down the stretch.

Something about Okafor reminds me of a young Alonzo. Maybe it's just the way he runs the floor. Though, he also does the one-handed keep away with the ball in the post at times. When I picture Alonzo as a Hoya, that's one of the images that pops into my head.

Not a GOI, but very humorous for those of us who don't think that the Big Ten has a whole lot of depth. Northwestern defeated Rutgers today, 51-47, in Piscataway NJ. NU led, 49-35, with 10:50 to play in the game, didn't score again until 0:29 remained, and yet never trailed, because Rutgers only scored six points over that period of time. The Scarlet Knights did not make a field goal from 12:04 to play, until 1:39 to play (a span of 11:25)!

Can't wait to see how RU measures up against Michigan State, Ohio State and Wisconsin.

Iowa defeats #20 Ohio State, 71-65, in Columbus OH. Buckeyes shot 42.1% from the field, 25% from three point range, and were out rebounded 37-29 by the Hawkeyes. At least Rutgers can say they're tied with OSU after their first B1G game.

#17 West Virginia leads Virginia Tech 48-36 with 15:11 left in the second half in Morgantown WV.

Looks like the Big Ten will be the home for ugly, ugly basketball this season. I just saw the Maryland/Michigan State score. . .which makes the Rutgers/Northwestern game look like a sharpshooting exhibition. At the half, Maryland leads Michigan State by a football field goal, 17-14.

Maryland and Michigan State are headed to overtime, tied at 48-48. Terps hit a three point shot with 2.2 seconds left to tie it up, after the Spartans neglected to foul to prevent the three from being taken.
