Read: Miss St. 69 - Kentucky 64
React: The Vanderbilt game appears to have been an aberration, as UK comes back to earth and loses to a mediocre Miss St team. Gillespie still has some work to do.
Read: Maryland 71 - Wake Forest 64
React: The Terps showed how right Vegas can be, finishing 1/2 a point off the spread. While the victory was absolutely necessary, the manner was awful. Wake's dismal night from the 3 point line (5-30) kept this from being much tighter. Maryland allowed 23 more shots than they took, and both teams had an assist-to-turnover ratio less than one. Things will get ugly against UNC and Duke.
Read: BC 76 - Miami 66
React: Don't be fooled by the final score, BC dominated and held a 20 point lead most of the game. BC will give everyone but UNC and Duke a lot of trouble this year and could go 10-6 or so in the ACC. Miami showed that they can go very, very cold, starting both halves 1-10 or worse from the field, and they will have a very unpredictable streaky season. If McClinton shoots well, they'll win most of the time.
Read: Baylor 79 - Okla St 71
React: What? The Bears are good? Wow. Baylor is now 14-2 (2-0) with wins at Notre Dame, at Winthrop, and at South Carolina, along with home conference wins over Iowa St. and Oklahoma St. The Bears are in really good shape to make the NCAA tourney. Their only losses are (6) Washington St. and Arkansas.

How does Baylor recruit enough players to fill out its roster? "Sure, one of our players was killed by his crazy roommate, but that was an isolated incident."
Look, that's what you get when you recruit from the Eastern Shore.
