Duke wins the NIT
Duke managed to knock off Memphis in a close game for the NIT title tonight. I still worry a little about their offense, which seems to be out of sync at times. However, with such a mix of old and young players, it's going to take them a while. Paulus looked great playing the point tonight, and Shelden had a monster game. It didn't help to have DeMarcus Nelson, their most athletic player, out of the game with an injury against a very athletic Memphis team. Hopefully, Nelson won't be out too long. With games against Indiana, Penn, Texas and Bucknell coming up (not to mention the ACC schedule), they'll need all of their starters. Overall, I'm pleased with the way they played and the way the freshmen appear to be coming along. But I must ask - has anyone seen Lee Melchionni's shot lately?
Arkansas-LSU
Arkansas managed to come through with a big game against LSU today. Even though they lost by 2, most expected a blowout in Baton Rouge. They nearly sent Auburn to the SEC championship game, which is what would have happened had LSU lost. Instead, LSU goes and Auburn stays home. So, I guess something good came out of the loss.
