      #18 Georgia Tech nips #13 North Carolina

      January 16, 2010 /

      The Yellow Jackets blew a 20-point lead, but withstood a furious North Carolina comeback to beat the Tar Heels, 73-71, in Chapel Hill. Iman Shumpfert posted 30-4-6 or Georgia Tech, while Gani Lawal added 12-12. I can see why scouts like Derrick Favors (he’s long and athletic), but he hasn’t done much in the two games I’ve seen him play (versus Duke and North Carolina).

      Will Graves brought the Tar Heels back with 22 points in the second half, including five three-pointers. He led North Carolina with 24 points.

      Another big Saturday in sports

      January 16, 2010 /

      We’re in that sweet spot in the sports calendar when the NFL playoffs are going on and there are some good in-conference matchups in college hoops. Here’s a quick look at what’s on tap for Saturday. (All times Eastern.)

      12 PM: #5 Syracuse @ #9 West Virginia (ESPN)
      2 PM: #18 Georgia Tech @ #13 North Carolina (ESPN)
      4:30 PM: Cardinals @ Saints (Fox)
      8:15 PM: Ravens @ Colts (CBS)

      That’s not a bad lineup at all.

      #4 Purdue, #5 Duke both fall

      January 9, 2010 /

      Wisconsin 73, Purdue 66
      The #4-ranked Boilermakers found out Saturday that it’s awfully tough to win in Madison. Jordan Taylor came off the bench to lead the Badgers with 23 points, while Jason Bohannon and Trevon Hughes chipped in with 20 and 14, respectively. It was Purdue’s first loss of the season.

      Georgia Tech 71, Duke 67
      Gani Lawal led the Yellow Jackets with 21 points and nine rebounds, and right now is a better player than freshman phenom Derrick Favors. Jon Scheyer kept the Blue Devils in it with 25 points and six assists, but Kyle Singler had a nightmare game, hitting just 2 of 13 shots from the field. Georgia Tech outrebounded Duke, 34-26.

      G-Town beats UConn with gritty comeback

      January 9, 2010 /

      Georgetown looked absolutely dreadful in the first half, and trailed by 19 points early in the second, but the Hoyas erased that deficit behind a brilliant 28-point second half by Austin Freeman. (He finished with 33 points, seven boards and three assists.)

      The Hoyas got going when they started to push the tempo, effectively beating the Huskies at their own game. UConn had a chance to take the lead, down one, with under a minute to play. But the Hoyas played tough defense, survived a couple of missed shots and eventually forced a turnover. The Huskies still haven’t won away from home.

      It looks like it will be another rough-and-tumble year in the Big East.
