- The West Virginia Mountaineers got a much-needed win over the DePaul Blue Demons yesterday at the Coliseum, winning by a score of 82-71. WVU got off to a great start after losing two consecutive games to Villanova and Pitt. The Mountaineers improve to 16-8 on the season and 7-5 in the Big East. Many bracketologists have the Mountaineers as a six seed currently with major potential to move up or down since five of their last six games are against ranked opponents, starting with Monday night's game against the Syracuse Orange.
- And now from the where did this come from department, we now bring you Cleveland State's Norris Cole. Cole put up astounding numbers in a 86-76 win over Youngstown State. He had 40 points, 20 rebounds and nine assists. Those are absolutely unbelievable number for a 6-foot-1 guard to put up and apparently this guy is pretty good. ESPN.com has Cole rated as the seventh best point guard in the country, but after that performance he might be moving up on some draft boards.
- The Philadelphia 76ers win their second game in a row last night beating the Minnesota Timberwolves 107-87. Last night's victory is an important one because of the importance of being able to string winning streaks together and beat the teams they need to beat like Minnesota. The Sixers are now 26-28 on the season and have a real chance to go into the All-Star break with a .500 record with Memphis and Houston coming up this week.
