White flag unit in for Oregon. Great resume win for SDSU, absolute heater for Reese Dixon-Waters. Time for me to pivot to Lakers-Clippers ending.

With Aztecs up by 17 at under-8 timeout, looks like Oregon may sit Nate Biddle out the rest of this one and see if his leg feels any better tomorrow. Ducks have been rolling with their backup bigs for last several minutes already.

Update: Looks like he's gonna try to waddle up and down the court for 20 minutes, which would be the most Ducks thing ever.
Oregon's Nate Bittle with a bad limp on his left leg coming out to the court after halftime, he's trying to run end to end but can't get it to loosen up. Not sure if he can continue.

The fact that it was basically his own rebound really sells it

Halftime: Gonzaga 47, Maryland 32. Zags made nine 3s in the first half, nearly matching Terps point total just with that.

Somebody post the clip of Michigan's bench losing it after the walk-on dunked.

Fun times here as Maryland's Andre Mills made a short bank shot while lying flat on his back after a loose ball ricocheted his way. Unfortunately that play is about 90% of the Terps' offense so far.

Final: Tennessee 76, Houston 73.
Vols win despite 25 from Cougars freshman guard Kingston Flemings, who I can assure you will not be playing college basketball next year.

He's been awesome. This move had two scouts next to me guffawing.
Kingston Flemings just slicing and dicing a top-5 Tennessee defense all night. Houston freshman is playing like a lottery pick to open the year.

Did not realize how extremely out of bounds the Tennessee guy was til I saw the replay, yikes.

Houston's two potential lotto pick freshman, Flemings and Cenac, just executed a kickout switch on the weak side. Fun stuff for the film nerds.

Kansas and Syracuse tipping now. No Darryn Peterson, but Jayhawks' big man Flory Bidunga and Syracuse forward Kiyan Anthony will have scouts watching them closely.
