No, he didn't. His presence certainly affected the game at the defensive end though.

Syracuse really turned it on at the end of the first. Cincy looks lost on offense now.

A 3-point halftime lead after that start?

I'll take it.

Maybe so. But 'Cuse looked bad, period. The had no energy, looked like they didn't want to be there. Even with out Fab, they were easily the better team. ND isn't even in the same state when it came to the athleticism on the floor.

Cooley owned the paint that day. I agree that should not have happened even without Melo, but I truly don't think that would've happened with Melo playing. Syracuse did play bad that night. These last couple games have forced them to play more half court offense and that could prove to be a good thing at some point in the NCAA's.

A good win for this team as it was a big response following not only their lackluster showing in the loss @ ND but to the poor start to tonight's game. The shaky finish was disappointing but a good road win nonetheless. Certainly played better in their second game without Melo.

Syracuse looked a lot better today, and Cincy's offense looked like crap. Big win for Syracuse to stay in first

A&M gave KU some trouble, but no worries in the end.

T-Rob didn't have a good game at all

For 30 minutes, that was a good game. And then Kansas choked them down to finish it. Kind of like the 'Cuse-Cincinnati game. Walk to the fridge to get a beer, get back and the score goes from deadlocked to an 8-point margin.

I honestly didn't even pay much attention to this game. It was reallllly boring, which was surprising as KU games/Big 12 games in general this year have been great.

But this game was never going to be an A&M win, Brent Musberger is my least favorite person in the world this side of terrorism, I feel like I've watched 15 KU games @ AFH and 1 away game so I'm getting kinda bored of the home games, A&M's best player was out, and I had Duty on the 2nd TV so I was more interested in that.

I'm pumped for @ Iowa State this Saturday, that game is going to be a dogfight.

Yeah. I guess I meant "good game" because it's close and if you're doing something on another TV, computer, etc.. Not "good game" as in it's fun and exciting. I was paying about 15% attention to it and the close point spread was enough to keep me from turning it off until the final minute or so.

Hah! So does that put him at 45th or are there other teams located between him and Georgetown. Note those are all big schools from AQ conferences because ESPN doesn't care about the little guys.
