Sunday Recap:

Unlike Saturday, where there were 3 games that were not close, there were 3 great games Sunday that went down to the final minute.

Clemson really had a bad loss on the road against Virginia. I thought they lost the game in the first half where they really played way too sloppy. Virginia was turning the ball over a ton against the Clemson press but instead of capitalizing and building the lead Clemson just turned the ball right back over to them. The Tigers had several shots in close to win the game in regulation, but couldn't convert. These are games that good NCAA Tournament quality teams should win.

Duke played a great first half against Boston College, but the Eagles came back in a very entertaining second half to win. BC made the plays down the stretch, and other than Singler the other main players for Duke didn't really step up. This was a lot like the Carolina game for Duke in which they just faded down the stretch. You have to hand it to BC, they have done a great job this year, and with wins against Duke and UNC should make the tournament.

Miami had a good shot at beating UNC in Coral Gables but couldn't quite pull off the upset. Everyone focuses on Jack McClinton (and for good reason) but it was Ty Lawson who was the money player at the end of the game, hitting three huge 3's at the end of the game. Miami has to be kicking themselves -- they kept Carolina in a low scoring game, turned Hansbrough into a non-factor despite being without one of their best players (Dwayne Collins) and still lost.
And speaking of Hansbrough, it's kind of odd what's happened to him this year. It's not that he's regressed, but I think around the country people are used to him by now, this being his fourth year, and he's not getting near the national attention he had. And he doesn't have the numbers of the past, mostly I think because the players around him are better. Coming into the year, most people would have already given Psycho T the player of the year award, but he's not even being seriously considered right now.
