A week after losing to Virginia Tech, #6 Wake Forest goes and beats # 1 Duke, all thanks to this guy. James Johnson scored 13 point, including the shot with 0.8 seconds left to win the game, 70-68. Duke’s Kyle Singler had 22 points and 12 rebounds, but that wasn’t enough.
Also going down last night were the #3 Pittsburgh Panther. They were stunned by the #21 Villanova Wildcats, 67-57. Villanova’s Reggie Redding had a career night, scoring 18 points and grabbed 7 rebounds, in the last college basketball game to be played in Philadelphia’s Spectrum.
Kevin Durant also had a monster night for his team, the Oklahoma Thunder. He scored 35 points against the Memphis Grizzlies, helping to secure a 114-102 OT victory. This is the Grizzlies’ 11th straight loss.
The Penguins spanked the Rangers, 6-2, with Petr Sykora and Kris Letang each netting 2 goals a piece. Sidney Crosby added a 5th goal. The Pens scored 5 times in the third to turn the game into a laugher. (Can you say that in hockey?)
Anyone else think we might be heading for a super chaotic March Madness? I’m not even sure how you pick the 4 no 1 seeds at this point.
(Can you say that in hockey?)
Yes, yes you can. Sid’s goal was amazing.
Games-This is going to be the best March Madness ever!
Pam-Sid’s goal was absolutely beautiful. I just wish I didn’t have to wait for the freakin’ highlights to see it. Damn it Bettman & Versus!
I still can’t believe that UC beat G-town. That’s 4 straight losses and UC lately has been one big pile of suck.
It will be awesome to have a for-real March Madness, where ANYTHING can happen.
TW, I saw it when it happened, but I needed to see it in slow mo’ from the camera by the corner boards to truly appreciate how awesome it was.
