Sparty's House

Every time I want to put the Gophers in the elite company of the Big Ten's finest, reality slaps them back down. Michigan State has been shaky of late at home, losing to two conference perreneal doormats, but showed no ill-effects tonight, dismantling visiting Minnesota 76-47. The game was 46-12 at halftime, and the Spartans "eased up" in the last ten minutes.

It is just one of those seasons folks, everything you think you know is wrong. Once you know that, the season makes sense. (notice the Maniac filed no picks the past few days...)

Miami has been one of the most underperforming teams in the nation this year. Tonight they handed Wake Forest their ass by nearly 30. Clemson has looked severly overwhelmed in their two dances with ACC big boys. As I write they lead Duke by 20 in the second half.

And then there is Notre Dame. They have lost their past few "must-wins" making tonight's trip to Cincinnati a true "must-win." After the Bearcats beat them easily tonight, the Big East tournament is looking like the Irish's next true "must win."

Great wins tonight: Cincinnati, Villanova, Michigan State, Utah, Miami and Clemson.
