Lots to love for yesterday's Valentine's version of Saturday hoops! Kansas started off the day with an exciting comeback victory over the Baylor Bears. Baylor jumped to an early lead hoping to win for the first time ever at Allen Fieldhouse. Kansas roared back in the second half for a solid win, maintaining their two game Big 12 lead.
Later in the day, Danny Manning almost pulled off another miracle by coaching the Demon Deacons to the brink against #2 ranked Virginia. Down 1 with 3 seconds left, the Cavalier's suffocating D kept Wake Forest from even getting a shot off.
Hinkley Fieldhouse (site of Hoosiers lore) was the site of another classic later in the day. All tied up at 65, Villanova's Darrun Hilliard was pure from three to give the Wildcats a 3 point win over the stingy Butler Bulldogs.
In the fantasy world, another promising start fizzled out later in the day. Shaq Goodwin kept his 30 pt streak rolling and Anthony Gill put up a solid performance against Wake Forest. However, LSU's Jarrell Martin didn't have his usual 30+ pt game and FSU's Phil Cofer laid a single digit egg with 3.6 pts in the Seminole's 4 pt win over Georgia Tech. I was hoping for more from Cofer after his MONSTROUS dunk a few days ago:
Lost a few close head-to-head matchups with Saturday's results below. Today's a new day though. Let's see what we have for the Sunday showdowns:
Look for Sam Dekker and Yogi Ferrell to have big games today. Both have been heating up lately as we near March. I'm also banking on Frank the Tank living up to his high billing. The dude is a workhorse and fun college player to root for. Hope you and yours enjoyed Valentines yesterday and buena suerte today!
Saturday's results below & Sunday's picks after that:
