COLLEGE HOOPS: THE WEEK AHEAD
December 11, 2005

SCS.comIt's exam time at many of the schools around the country, which means a bit lighter load on this week's college hoops schedule. After seeing a number of in-state upsets last week, there are a few more we should keep an eye on in the week ahead, including Winthrop's trip to South Carolina, Ohio's visit to Cincinnati, and Wisconsin-Milwaukee's game against the Badgers in Madison. That trio of games leads up to the Saturday showdown between Louisville and Kentucky in Lexington.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT...

A look back at last week's highlights: George Washington topped Maryland in the nation's capital Monday evening, while Northwestern State, who had already beaten Mississippi State earlier this year, went on the road and knocked off Oklahoma State ... Tuesday's Jimmy V Classic saw St. Joseph's ease past struggling Kansas in the opening game before Michigan State downed Boston College in game two ... Also on Tuesday, there were a couple of in-state upsets: Iowa was upset by the Panthers of Northern Iowa, while Mike Davis' Indiana squad was defeated by Indiana State ... One upset that did not take place was Bucknell over Villanova; Jay Wright's Cats dominated ... Notre Dame dominated the first half and then hung on for a road win at Alabama on Wednesday ... Hump day also saw the surging Georgia Bulldogs turn in a dominating performance over in-state rival Georgia Tech ... A full Saturday of hoops started off with Kansas's home victory over California and an impressive Ohio State win on the road at St. Joseph's ... In the most talked-about game of the non-conference schedule, Duke and POTY candidate J.J. Redick rolled right through second-ranked Texas by 31 points ... Gonzaga trailed most of the day, but another POTY candidate, the Zags' Adam Morrison, banked in a 3 as his squad survived a scare from Oklahoma State ... It was a bad day for the SEC as Mike Davis's Indiana stomped Kentucky, Temple downed Alabama for the Tide's second loss of the week, and Cincinnati toppled previously-unbeaten Vanderbilt in Nashville ... A west coast top 20 showdown saw UCLA jump out to an early lead and cruise to a victory over Nevada ... Illinois finished off Saturday's activity with a convincing road win over the struggling Oregon Ducks ... Sunday's biggest game saw Maryland and Boston College go down to the wire, but the Terps took the victory in BC's first-ever ACC contest.

UNC-Wilmington at Wisconsin
Monday 7:00 PM CST
