What we’ve learned – Duke’s Gerald Henderson, in an up-tempo offense, would easily average 20 a night … Illinois still lacks offensive punch … Oregon still doesn’t play any defense – how else to explain a 5-foot-10 freshman scoring 37 points? … Vandy center Andrew Ogilvy is the best freshman that ESPN isn’t blowing – we’re fairly certain this team surprises everyone and reaches the NCAA tournament … nice rally by UCLA last night against Michigan State.

Instead of recapping last night (here’s what happened in Maui), let’s look ahead to the full slate of games today:

Rhode Island at Boston College: The Boston dominance across sports in 2007 will not extend to the hardwood. But BC should win this one, handily.

Illinois vs. Oklahoma State: If the Cowboys can’t handle the Marquette defense, what will happen against the Illini, who are much more physical?

Washington vs. No. 16 Texas A&M: By partaking in this college hoops fantasy league, we frequently find ourselves checking box scores. And this Jon Brockman kid in Washington is a monster now that Hawes has taken his game to the NBA. The guess here is he shows the Jones-Jordan combo a thing or two and the Huskies win.

No. 21 Syracuse vs. Ohio State: Like the Cuse here. Like them this year, actually. But Paul Harris needs to get his game under control. He’s all over the place.

No. 13 Duke vs. No. 11 Marquette: Love us some Dom James, but Duke’s got too much inside for the Eagles. Also, this will be payback for last year’s loss, when Duke was woefully unathletic.
