I watched a little over half of the Gopher's game yesterday. They never were really out of it, it's just that two costly fumbles and some pass interference calls in the end zone did them in. They are better than they've been in quite a while, but those kind of horrible plays are going to cost you against a good team. Wisconsin kills everybody they go against. Losing 20-7 with all of those costly plays is nothing to be ashamed of.
The Wolves looked less than adequate last night as well. I was waiting for them to make a move, and at the end of the third quarter when they whittled Houston's lead down to eight, I was getting hopeful. Alas, the first couple minutes of the fourth quarter sealed their fate. They lost by 11. The Pacers are next. A .500 record is just around the corner...
I was looking forward to watching number 4 Baylor play last night. They've averaged over 60 points and close to 700 hundred yards a game going into last night 's game at number 10 Oklahoma State. Instead I saw one of the biggest upsets of the season. FINALLY. They got beat so bad I almost felt sorry for them. It looks like Ohio State will be moving up to number three again. With number two Florida State looking at losing Famous Jameis with his ongoing legal problems, the Buckeyes may still squeak into second place in the BCS standings before the season is out.
Speaking of Florida State, they scored 80 points yesterday. I don't ever remember a team doing that before. Idaho is a really bad team, but still, 80 points...
The Chicago Bull's Derrick Rose has a torn medial meniscus in his right knee. That is NOT as bad as another ligament tear. He'll be out indefinitely, but it really shouldn't be the whole season. I'm guessing around a month after surgery. We'll see. He could be back even sooner. It depends on how fast he heals and if he's ready to "trust" his knee again. I had a friend playing golf TWO days after a medial meniscus tear, and feeling good about it. I hear basketball is tougher than golf, though.
