Anybody see the highlights on Sportscenter? At first glance, it looked like a Division II game because the all the camera shots came from underneath the basket. Then we thought - why are we seeing Division II highlights? Oh, right, that’s Harrrrrrrvard. Rare is the day when the Crimson are the best basketball story in the land, but their first win in school history over a team that just toppled No. 1 North Carolina is quite a big deal.

Step one of the Tommy Amaker’s career revival is complete. Step two: NCAA Tournament. Step three: Getting a job in a major conference. Steps two and three could just be a year away. Amaker’s coaching skills may be up for debate, but the man can recruit. With the exception of PG Andrew Pusar, everyone’s back next year (no worries about their best player, Jeremy Lin, jumping to the NBA!), and the freshman are logging huge minutes and significant contributors. Won’t take much for Amaker to parlay this into some on-the-fence recuits who might have been looking elsewhere after this kerfuffle.

The BC loss capped a tough day on campus - football coach Jeff Jagodzinski was fired when he interviewed for the Jets job. We agree with some of today’s opinions - BC did the right thing (links swiped from Eagle in Atl).

Gonzaga 89, Tennessee 79, OT: Second win this season for the Zags over the Vols, and this one was more impressive than the first, since it snapped Tennessee’s 37-game home winning streak. Gonzaga looked like it played Bouldin more at PG instead of Pargo, which isn’t a bad idea, since Pargo over-dribbles and is often out of control. Bouldin led the Zags with 26, and his layup at the end of regulation should have won it, but the refs missed a goaltending call when a Vols’ defender put his hand through the net and hit the rim. Thirteen games into the season and Tennessee still doesn’t run anything resembling an offense.

Morgan State 66, Maryland 65: How will Gary Williams live this one down? The Terps choked away a 14-point lead in the final 12 minutes.

Duke 79, Davidson 67: Blue Devils led by 25 and it was whittled down to eight late in the game before Duke held on for victory. Curry had 29 and keyed a big-second half run to get the Wildcats back in the game. As much as we enjoy watching Curry, we’re not so sure a major run in March will be possible due to a lack of offense around Curry (he made 10 shots, the rest of the team made 15). Singler and Scheyer had 22 apiece for No. 2 Duke.
