Dec. 28, 2009-Jan. 3, 2010
Dec. 28 -- #12 Mississippi- 93, #18 Oklahoma St.- 80 -- A good top 25 win for the Rebels, who are starting to get things back together after the 2 game losing streak. While he only played 5 minutes, they were a productive 5 for Korz who had 5 points on 1-1 from the field and 3-4 from the line, and also had 2 rebounds.
Dec. 28 -- St. Johns- 79, St. Francis-NY- 48 -- Another easy win against a not so tough opponent for St. Johns. One bright note, for a PG, Angiotti may be starting to figure it out, as he had 4 assists to just 1 turnover tonight.
Dec. 31 -- Tulsa- 93, UTEP- 61 -- Good ball control by the Golden Hurricane who had only 9 turnovers tonight in the victory. Crawford scored 6 points in 13 minutes, shooting 2-2 from the field and 2-4 from the line.
Jan. 1 -- #2 Florida- 91, Ohio St.- 68 -- The Buckeyes were never really in this game, continue their win-loss pattern that they have all season long. The leading scorer again was Logmans, although he only had 15 tonight, but on 7-12 shooting. He also had 4 steals.
Jan. 1 -- #12 Mississippi- 74, Memphis- 51 -- Another solid effort from the Rebels again, who held Memphis to 35.4% shooting and rolled to a 55-28 halftime lead. Another decent game in limited minutes for Korz, who played 9 minutes and scored 5 points on 2-4 shooting, including a three pointer.
Jan. 2 -- Nevada- 70, Tulsa- 69 -- A tough loss for the Golden Hurricane, who trailed by 9 at halftime and almost pulled the comeback. Crawford had 4 points and 4 rebounds off the bench tonight.
Jan. 2 -- #14 Indiana- 87, St. Johns- 47 -- Not a good effort tonight for the Red Storm, who had 27 turnovers tonight, and definitely took a step back in their efforts to curb the TO's. Angiotti was even tonight: 2 assists, 2 turnovers. He also scored 9 points and had 2 steals.
Jan. 3 -- #15 Miami- 66, #25 Kansas- 61 -- The Jayhawks were brought back to life tonight in a tough loss against Miami. Although they did force 26 turnovers, Miami had just enough to wear them down. No action for Schaplowsky tonight.
Top 25 polls: With 2 good wins, Mississippi moves up to #9 in the polls, and despite a loss in their only game of the week, Kansas remains at #25.
