Upsets All Day Long

Today in college basketball there were many major upsets. First in the Big East two top five teams lost. Syracuse who now is 18-2, lost a huge game for them today. Villanova who earlier in this week beat the number 1 team Louisville, beat Syracuse in overtime 75-71.  Ryan Arcidiacono of Villanova hit a game tieing three to go to overtime.

Other Notable Upsets:

5 Louisville Loses to Georgetown 53-51

11 Kansas State Loses to Iowa State 73-67

12 Minnesota Loses to Wisconsin 45-44 

15 New Mexico Loses to SDSU 55-34

I suspect Wisconsin will be a top 25 team next week.

Also 19 VCU is losing La Salle

23 Ole Miss is Losing to Auburn

Golden State rolling

Last night the Warriors won there 3rd straight game and this one was against the Thunder. Also on Monday they beat the hot Clippers. This year the Warriors have based there team around their point guard Stephen Curry. Curry and also David Lee have been great this year for scoring, as Curry is 8th in the league and Lee is 12th.To add on to those numbers Curry is 13th this year in assists and Lee is 8th in Rebounding. If Mark Jackson keeps on coaching how he has the Warriors are my playoff favorite in the west. They are currently 5th place in the West.

Miami stuns #1 Duke

     Miami crushed Duke 90-63. D. Scott of Miami had 25 points, 6 boards, 4 assists, and 2 steals. Duke is now 3-2 in ACC and Miami is the only 5-0 team in the ACC. This 27 point loss was the 3rd  worst ever by a #1 team. Duke hasn't lost a game by more than 27 since 1984 when they lost to Wake Forest by 31.

Thunder take 2nd Place Clips

Last night the 1st placed Thunder faced off against the 2nd placed Clippers. Blake Griffen had a monster game 31 points 11 rebounds and 5 assists, but the Clippers still couldn't get it done in LA. The duo in the back court for the Thunder was amazing. KD and Westbrook had 57 combined points last night as the Thunder won 109- 97.

Grizzlies Cavs trade.

     Memphis and Cleveland just executed a trade that helped the Grizzlies shed $6 million off their payroll. The Grizzlies traded Marreese Speights, guard Wayne Ellington, guard Josh Selby and a future first-round draft pick to the Cavs for forward Jon Leuer. Although this may sound crazy the Grizzlies did shed their 6 million so they will have more breathing room next season...

Pro Bowl

This years pro bowl will probably be like all of the other ones i have watched, the players don't try you know, but I still like to watch it because 1:There is no other football game that weekend and 2: There are all the big names on the field that you would never see play together in a game other than the pro bowl. Aaron Rodgers wont be playing in it this year because he is injured in the lower half of his body. Also Tom Brady wont be playing also due to injury, but wait there's more, also Matt Ryan will be out too also due to injury, but replacing them will be Russell Wilson,Eli Manning and Andrew Luck.The coaching staffs will be Green Bay Packers and Denver Broncos. Well there you have it if i were to predict the winner i would pick AFC because i think in the 4th quater they will be down and Luck will be in and he will lead them to a 4th quater win as he did in the regular season.

Here come the Super Bros

     On Sunday night the Ravens prevailed to beat the Patriots 28-13 in the AFC Championship after being down 13-7 at half. Tom Brady only had 1 touchdown, but he had 2 interceptions one coming late in the 4th quarter after a tipped ball, an injured Ravens defender caught the ball. On the other side Joe Flacco had 3 TDs and 0 pics. Anquan Boldin came up big in the 4th with 2 TD catches. The Patriots would have been in a completely different position if Wes Welker hadn't dropped a couple big passes. All in all the Ravens just outplayed the Patriots on Sunday evening.
     On Sunday Afternoon the 49ers ended up on top of the Falcons 28-24. Once again the losing team was up at halftime (24-14) but they didn't score any points in the second half. Kaepernick only had about 20 yards rushing and 1 passing TD but Frank Gore had 2 TDs and just under 100 yards on the ground. Matt Ryan played well with 3 TDs and 1 INT, and 396 yards but his team did not provide any rushing at all. The two leading runners for the Falcons combined for 62 yards. In the NFC Championship the Falcons just got flat out, outplayed in the second half.
     This Super Bowl will be a great game considering that two brothers will be coaching against one another. These two teams faced off on Thanksgiving 2011 and the Ravens won without Ray Lewis, but the got an outstanding performance out of Terrel Suggs. We will have to see if Kaepernick will be able to perform on football's biggest stage.

Ray Lewis's Final Game

 This Super Bowl game will be a fun one to watch but after the game someone's career will come to an end, and that is Ray Lewis's. This amazing athlete has come back after he thought his career was over when he tore his biceps earlier in the season, but he came back and has led his team to his last Super Bowl of his career.It's is not just Ray's talent that has helped his team get to this point, it is his leadership and his speeches and everything that makes him a one of a kind player, he has made his team believe that they can beat anyone and they have shown that. I will be rooting for the Ravens this weekend so Ray Lewis can get another ring before his retirement

KD35 goes 52

     Kevin Durant dropped a career high 52 points last night in Dallas against the Mavericks. Durant got his 52 points in an overtime last night. He also had 9 boards to go along with it. KD shot 5-9 from three and an amazing 21-21 at the line. Durant is currently 2nd in scoring behind Kobe. Durant averages 29.3 points per and Kobe averages 29.7 per. The top three scoring spots are Carmelo Anthony (3rd-29.2 per), Kevin Durant (2nd-29.3 per), and Kobe (1st 29.7 per). This is a tight race but if Durant has another monster game he may end up in the lead.
