By TERESA M. WALKER, AP Sports Writer
December 18, 2006


NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Tennessee coach Bruce Pearl thought about benching Dane Bradshaw late because of the senior guard's injured right shoulder. Good thing he didn't.

Sunday, December 24, 2006

No . 11 Kansas 84, Boston College 66 ?

The Jayhawks, who almost always play man-to-man defense, led 21-19 when the surge began. Soon after, Brandon Rush came off the bench despite two fouls, the defense made the switch and Kansas got its running game in high gear. After a three-point basket by Mario Chalmers and Darnell Jackson?s jam ended the run, the Jayhawks (10-2) were on top 45-23 at halftime.

It's about time UCLA loses, but were they really that good? I thought they could have been beaten many times before. Texas A&M should have beaten them. I think they are overrated but thats me.

i think that ucla is (was) deserving of the top spot as much as a handful of other teams. ucla fits the spot, as well as unc, florida, wisky, and ohio state. i must be honest with myself, though. i can't put ohio state there until they improve their man defense, the offense becomes more fluid through rotation, and perhaps until greg's brace becomes less restrictive. unc, florida, and ucla are interchangeable at number one, and wisky barely edges out ohio state at number four.
