Painful Wednesday for college hoops duo
It was a pretty fun night of college hoops.
Syracuse delivered a resume explanation mark with a buzzer-beater to top Duke. (Hey we don’t like Boeheim either, but on a very weak bubble class, the Orange have wins over Duke, FSU and Virginia when each was ranked in the top 10. That will be enough this year unless they lose out.)
Butler rolled at Villanova, ending the Wildcats’ lengthy home-winning streak.
Oregon toppled Cal with a buzzer beater, delivering a serious blow to The Conz’s tournament hopes with the Bears and begging the question if we are buying or selling the Ducks.
Then, on a lower level of national import but certainly a higher focus of local interest, there were two disappointing basketball outcomes on Wednesday.
