The games on Saturday were very good during the day.

First, you had Duke, who went to Maryland and beat the Terps 96-88. J.J. Redick, who arguably is the best player in the country, scored 35 and Sheldon Williams scored 26. Now, without a doubt these two are the best 1-2 punch in the nation.

Villanova played a solid game today and beat DePaul 61-51, mainly because of there stifling defense and Randy Foye's 23. Every time I see Foye, I become more impressed with his game.

In the game of the day, George Washington had to hang on and barely beat St. Joe's 64-62. I know there are people out there who like GW, but I am one who isn't impress with them. I mean the conference they play in stinks, and there non-conference schedule is one of the worst in the country. I want them to play teams like Duke, UConn and Villanova before I am impressed.

Michigan State and UCLA both came up lame today. UCLA lost to a tough Washington Huskies team in Washington, but Michigan State had a bad lost against a below average Minnesota Golden Gophers team, 69-55, as 5 players for Minnesota were in double figures.

Boston College, Iowa and Oklahoma all looked impressive, especially Iowa who went on the road and beat a so-so Hoosiers team, 70-67.

Finally, another team that stunk on Saturday was Michigan, who even though some players are hurt, went to Purdue, a really bad Boilermakers team and got thumped, 84-70. Although, when Purdue shoots over 61 percent from the field, then many teams would have a tough time beating them, but then again Purdue is a bad basketball team.

Don't forget that the Zags were very nearly upset by Stanford, 80-76. But Adam Morrison, the other guy who could arguably wear that "best player in the country" tag, scored 12 points in the last three minutes to keep the 5th ranked Bulldogs' NCAA-best 36 game home winning streak in tact.

With San Diego and San Francisco the only remaining home games on their schedule, it looks like that streak will safely carry over into next season, barring upset. Anyone actually think that either the Dons or the Toeros have a chance of pulling one off against Morrison and company?
