A hearty welcome to all the football fans who may have made their way over here now that the pigskin season is officially over for UT. We hope you enjoy your stay in the world of college hoops, a wonderful place where computers don’t decide who plays in championship games and even the smallest of underdogs gets an equal shot in the best playoff in sports.

North Carolina steamrolled Nevada last night, but lost guard Bobby Frasor in the process. The junior guard tore his left ACL and will miss the rest of the season, but don’t immediately think this is a huge loss for the Heels. Frasor was only averaging 17 minutes and three points per game so far this year after missing a lot of action last season with a foot problem. While this might cause some extra wear and tear on starter Ty Lawson, the Heels still have five other reserve guards on the roster who can try to eat up minutes.

Closer to home, Big 12 foe Mizzou torched Coppin State, 72-38. Coach Mike Anderson shuffled his lineup in this one, putting Stefhon Hannah and DeMarre Carroll on the bench to open the game. Mizzou’s high-pressure defense stifled the Eagles all night, forcing 22 turnovers and holding them to only 25.5% shooting.

There’s mostly just bowl games on TV tonight, although there’s a little mid-major flavor on the U, where a highly-disappointing Southern Illinios team plays host to 17th-ranked Butler (8 PM CST, ESPNU). And although it’s not televised outside of the Deep South, Ole Miss puts their undefeated mark on the line when taking on cross-state rival Southern Miss in a neutral-site game at Southaven.
