Flying under the national radar is Mississippi State. Coach Rick Stansbury has the Bulldogs off to a 5-0 start in the SEC. Last weeks win over #17 ranked Mississippi solidified their arrival onto the scene. Jamont Gordon and Charles Rhodes have led the charge. They have a big game this week at Arkansas.
Over at LSU there is mounting discontent with the Tigers and John Brady. The Tigers are winless in the conference and have slipped mightily since their Final Four run a couple of years ago. This could be a losing season for the Tigers and be the last one for John Brady at the helm.
Florida is maturing rapidly as shown by their twenty point win over #14 Vanderbilt. Billy Donovan has the Gators climbing quickly and could make some noise come tournament time. Vandy on the other hand is quickly becoming this year’s version of Clemson. How do you spell free fall…
Sliding over to the Big 10, kudos to Michigan state who matched their best win total after 20 games (18-2). After beating rival Michigan, who is on track for a losing season, does anybody remember who beat the Spartans in an exhibition game. That’s what I thought…
Duke is back with a vengenance. The Blue Devils escaped with a road win over Maryland. The Terps were coming off a road win over North Carolina lest than ten days ago, but couldn’t manage to hold serve at home. Coach K has the Blue Devils playing faster than ever. Some would say because of his Olympic Association with Suns Coach Mark DAntoni, I say it’s because he has no true post and is playing the best way possible for his personnel. That’s why they are 17-1 and he is in the Hall of Fame..
