Nico Mannion had 23 points, 9 assists, 5 turnovers in Arizona's 90-69 win over Illinois last night. Florida St's D smothered Florida for 16 turnovers and 5 blocks in a comfortable road win.
MU opponents.....over the weekend Texas of course over Purdue 70-66, Kansas St. Squeaks by UNLV in OT with big game from Xavier Sneed (19). Davidson fell to Auburn by ten, 77-66.
So is SMC a borderline questionable loss for UW-extension Madison now? Winthrop's been a decent to good mid major for a while, but you'd expect a legit top 20 team to handle them comfortably at home.
Man. This is the second time I've bought high on St. Mary's in the past three seasons and it looks like fool's gold again.
I would never buy SMC.
Rick Majerus often said, including in his book, "My life on a napkin," that coaching at St. Mary's was a dream job for him. He went out of his way to help Randy Bennett get hired there. .....Big win for Pat Kelsey and Winthrop.
4-0 DePaul blows out Iowa on the road, led 53-30 at half time.
