And welcome back to Newswire here on Sports Grid, great matchups inside of the top 25 yesterday and of course in the month of December, it's what we get before conference play begins. Let's bring in Mike De Courcy from sporting news for a recap and a preview of what is to come. Mike, happy holidays. Great to have you back here, uh, on Newswire. I know certainly. These are some really good matchups, unfortunately for my Florida Gators. This, uh, not the best start defending the national championship for them, but I guess when you lose Walter Clayton, this is gonna happen. The Gators' offense not nearly as good. 67 to 66, Duke comes up with a big shot late thanks to. Of course, a lot of great performances in this one, but very specifically, Cameron Boozer on pace to do what Cooper flagged did last year, which is when maybe player of the year. Uh, so Duke moves up, the Gators probably gonna move down a little bit more, although they had a nice little run recently. What did you make of this game last night? Yeah, honestly, I, I give Florida a lot of credit for getting back into that game cause they were down 15 points and Uh, Duke had never lost like an 85 games or so when they were up by 15, and Florida had a legitimate chance to win that game. I thought the Gators did a nice defensive job, but the offense doesn't flow. They had 4 assists last night, the whole game. The offense does not flow. Uh, you had, you had such a great performance by Thomas Houck, uh, for much of that game. And then when it was being decided, he was, uh, more or less as much of a spectator as I was, but he was in the building. I was at home. So that was about the only difference. He should have had the ball more often down the stretch. Uh, that was, that was a big key to why Florida was not able to close. But you got to give a lot of credit to Duke. Uh, Cameron Boozer is a fantastic player, so versatile, uh, so physically powerful, so many different things he can do to succeed. And, uh, yeah, I, I, I think Duke won on a night where they did not play great offensively either. Uh, you had a, a, a reasonably Uh, ineffective performance by Isaiah Evans. He made a huge play at the end of the game, uh, that made a difference, but he was only 5 of 14 from the field, 1 of 8 from three. It's not who he is. He's one of the better offensive players in the country. So big time win for Duke, uh, on a night where maybe they weren't their best. And Boozer is still the favorite to win the wooden award. He's plus 170. Generally you don't see that this early in the season, but he's been Fantastic and uh naturally do favored to win the ACC and then some of the other items there as you see the Final Four national championship still work in progress, but a big win and a great resume win for a potential number one seed in the tournament in March. Long way to go I know until then. North Carolina defeats Kentucky 67 to 64 and, uh, Mike, a game that, you know, a lot of folks thought Kentucky would end up coming out on top of this one. How did Carolina get this done? Well, first of all, Henry Var was fantastic, uh, and really dominated the game, especially out of pick and roll play. Kentucky could not guard the pick and roll action, and that's a problem for the Wildcats for sure. Uh, and then also, you had, uh, Caleb Wilson playing fantastic. He's one of the best players in the country, one of the best freshmen in the country, uh, doing a phenomenal job. Uh, Kentucky's offense just does not connect. Uh, they lost or, or have, uh, for now, do not have access to Jaylen Lowe, the transfer point guard from Pitt. We don't know what his status will be. We know that there were some early reports that he might sit the rest of the year, but, uh, he, he sort of backed away from that and he's trying to get himself back out there, and they need him. Denzel. Aberdeen, who transferred from Florida, your Gators, uh, and was a big part of the national championship team last year, is trying to fill in as a full-time point guard, and he just doesn't seem to understand the, the responsibility of the position, uh, um, when he could shoot, when he shouldn't shoot, when he, when he needs to get others involved, how to get in the lane and make plays. Those things aren't happening for the Wildcats, and it's really become a problem for them. Low scoring game in Kansas where UConn wins and they're a top five team. Kansas ranked number 21 in the country, but you know, certainly a really good matchup here, 61 to 56, and I know the Huskies aren't really known for their offense this season, especially inside the top 10. You can see where their offense ranks. It's nowhere near some of the other squads there, but defensively getting it done yet again and contributions, double digit contributions like from a lot of players in this one as well. Yeah, Braylan Mullins, who had missed most of the first part of the season, and a freshman from Indiana, small forward type, uh, who is really offensively skilled. He, he has a chance to be one of the great shooters in college basketball this year, missed a bunch of early games with injury, and, and he was, he was back last night and was a huge difference. Uh, Kansas had a difficult time guarding him, uh, along with solo ball and some of the other, uh, UConn. Players. Uh, but I, I think what, what really helped UConn get this win was the unavailability of Darren Peterson. Kansas just isn't talented enough. They're with Darren Peterson, they are talented enough to be a Final Four team. Uh, but he is such a gifted player and so important as a point guard and as an offensive weapon. Without him, Kansas just doesn't have enough, uh, to fight off a good performance. Maybe not even great yet. Uh, uh, Mullins added to Caravan and and Ball and some of the others gives them the offense, but Terrace Reid's still not available and he's a great finisher around the goal, uh, and a physical presence on defense, and he didn't play last night. So I think there's a lot of better basketball out there still for UConn. Meanwhile, Kansas has moved down plus 950 to win there, of course, conference BYU plus 550 Iowa State still at the top here in the Big 12 long way to go as we continue the college basketball season. So weird still to see Arizona, some of these teams in the pack now playing in the Big 12, I gotta tell you. Uh, all right, so, uh, Louisville ranked 6th in the country. Uh, no test for them last week, Mike. They played a couple of, I hate to say cupcakes, but they won by, I believe, 40 and 50 their last couple of times. So they're hanging around there. They're gonna get tested tonight though, against the SEC in Arkansas, total 165.5. So 2.5 point favorites, uh, for Louisville tonight, but look, Arkansas is not one of these teams that's gonna lay down at home. This is gonna be a much tougher matchup, I would assume this evening. Yeah, this is an interesting game because Arkansas really needs it, playing at home against a high-level opponent. They lost both of their games to date against high-level opposition, Duke and Michigan State, weren't expected to win either of those games, uh, but this one at home, uh, I, I, I feel like the Razorbacks really need to put out a great effort. They've been, uh, led in, uh, in shooting and. Scoring by their two freshmen, Darius Acuff and Malik Thomas, and they haven't been involving the veterans enough. Uh, Acuff, the point guard needs to get those guys more involved. And, uh, Malik Thomas is a great guy to have, uh, in transition, and when the shot clock's down and when he's left wide open, but I think he's been a little bit too eager to shoot the basketball and not remembering. There's very good players around him. Definitely so. All right, Mike, have a great week. Thanks again. We'll catch up next week here on Newswire. I appreciate it.
