The Mourning After

December is looking like it will be an eventful month. College basketball and the NBA are starting to get in the full swing, the NFL is in its stretch run and college football has started their bowl season. The past Saturday had plenty of action in all of the sports.

Kobe Is On Fire, But He Doesn't Have Magic: Kobe Bryant scored 41 points, but the Orlando Magic outscored the Los Angeles Lakers. Dwight Howard sunk his fourth quarter free throws and Jameer Nelson scored 27 points. The Magic has been the quiet good team this season, while the Lakers are great, but they are still soft inside.

Michigan State Has Already Taken Their Beating: Michigan St., like every other team, was hammered by North Carolina. Saturday the Spartans played in front of a hostile crowd in Houston taking on the 5Th ranked Texas Longhorns and sneaked out with a win. Durrell Summers hit a three with 18 seconds left to seal the win.

Upset Alert: Louisville has been kind of a disappointment this year. They already lost at home to a lesser opponent, and now they lost on the road to Minnesota. Rick Pitino met up with friend Tubby Smith, and Tubby got the best of his former boss.

The Glass Slipper Didn't Fit: Gonzaga, a final four pick, lost to UConn in Seattle. UConn had to go into overtime with the Zags to finally put them away. It rained threes in the former home of the Sonics, and UConn proved why they are the 4Th ranked team.

The Early Bowl Games Stink: The early bowl games of the season are usually boring. But the New Mexico Bowl proved to be exciting. Fresno St. was leading Colorado St. with 2 minutes left to play. Then all of the sudden the Bulldogs where down by 10 and the Rams where celebrating. The bowl games won't get interesting until after Christmas.
