There weren't any NBA games today, but there was tons of College Basketball. These are just invitational games, set in places like the Bahamas (Battle for Atlantis). #5 North Carolina trampled over #22 UCLA with the help of Marcus Paige who had 21 pts, 3 reb, 5 ast, 3 stl. Paige was definitely the best player of the game even with the efforts of UCLA's Norman Powell (15 pts, 4 reb, 1 ast, 5 stl). North Carolina proved that they could still be the #5 after the loss to the Butler Bulldogs just days ago. North Carolina: 78 UCLA: 56.
Speaking of Butler, they lost to Oklahoma today, the Sooners played good basketball. By good basketball I mean using the Jimmy Butler Tactic which is driving to the rim strong, knowing where you are compared to the defender, trying to finish even with all the contact, getting the foul, making the free-throws. That was very effective in the win getting 17 points out of 22 shots from the free-throw line. Oklahoma: 59 Butler: 46.
D'Vauntes Smith-Rivera was the man today for the Georgetown Hoyas with an awesome 29 pts, 5 reb, 3 ast, 1 stl.That was not enough to beat the #2 Wisconsin Badgers who won without much production from the star player Frank Kaminsky who only had 8 pts, 4 reb. The Badgers were instead led by Sam Dekker (17 pts, 6 reb, 1 ast, 1 stl, 1 blk) their Power Forward. Wisconsin: 68 Georgetown: 65.
