Initial thoughts on Thursday night's games

There weren't many upsets tonight, but things are shaping up for a great weekend of games if this pattern holds up on Friday. That said, here are some of my thoughts on Thursday night's games.

*Apparently Minnesota didn't get the scouting report on UT's A.J. Abrams. (8 for 15 on 3 pointers on his way to 26 points) Call me crazy, but I think it would be smart for somebody to find him in transition and put a hand in his face!

*Leave it to Villanova, the team who lives and dies with guard play, to struggle with American University. ( A team that lives and dies with guard play)

*I will never trust the Clemson Tigers again! There ability to continually waist their considerable athleticism is starting to mirror the university's underachieving football team.

*Is it just me or did every player from Gonzaga try to posterize somebody from Akron tonight? The game was a potential upset in the making and suddenly morphed into a low budget dunk contest with the Zips serving as human props.

*I wish Western Kentucky would have executed better down the stretch so I didn't have to sweat during the final minute of their game.

*Did the guy from Morgan St. really just throw Blake Griffin over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes?

*Memo to UCLA: Since nobody else seems interested in scoring in the clutch, just give the ball to Jrue Holliday and get out of the way!

*VCU's Eric Maynor is one of the smartest players I've seen in a long time.

*VCU's Larry Sanders is a freak of nature! What laboratory did Anthony Grant get him from?

*I'm happy to hear that UConn's Jim Calhoun is going to be alright.

*Friday will be a big day for the office pools. There are a lot of "swing" games that could go a long way in determining who still has a chance at winning the pot.
