A few scares in the Top 10 last night, but no upsets. Memphis survived USC in overtime, 62-58 by holding the Trojans to 28.8% shooting on the night. Michigan State trailed Bradley by nine in the second half, but stormed back for a 66-61 win. If you tuned in looking for the Spartans to be playing Butler…oops. That’s what I get for writing these at four in the morning.

If you’re one of the folks who likes to play the transitive game when it comes to early season non-conference games, you’ve got to be riding high on Baylor in the Big 12 right now. Baylor beat Notre Dame, who beat K-State, 68-59. You can’t put too much stock in comparing results, considering teams have off nights or play out of their minds, but the Wildcats sure looked like a one-trick pony with Michael Beasley struggling for much of last night’s game.

Bumped from yesterday’s comments, Damion James was tabbed Big 12 Player of the Week. DaMo logged a double-double in both of the wins over Texas Southern and UCLA, finishing with 38 points and 20 boards for the week.

On the tube tonight you’ve got your very own Longhorns against North Texas (7 PM CST, FSSW/ESPN Full Court). The big game of the evening is Washington State at Gonzaga (10 PM CST, ESPNU). The Kennel should be absolutely rocking for this one, so be sure to tune in if you get the U.
