Posting live from the Wachovia Center, where the Villanova Wildcats just showed that the struggle against American clearly woke them up. The Cats simply devoured UCLA before a de facto home crowd. It was the kind of balanced and complete offensive display that makes Nova a real threat. It also showed how good they can be when they're hitting their shots. For UCLA's part, this game was kind of a raw deal, having to basically play a road game 3000 miles from home at 10 am pacific time, just 36 hours after a late night nailbiter against VCU.
In other news, the Memphis-Maryland game has tipped. The Maryland players decided to spend yesterday's off day making a series of idiotic statements about how mediocre Memphis would be if they had to play in the oh-so-impressive ACC (you know, the conference that has so far lost 4 games to teams seeded worse than them). This nonsense feeds right into John Calipari's Rodney Dangerfield schtick, which he routinely uses to motivate his players. So far, the Terps' moronic woofing (from, among others, local YMCA star Dave Neal) isn't paying dividends, as they're down 29-15. That' what happens when you kick a sleeping Tiger.
