A big, big man, a Blake, and a buzzer beater

Wow, did UCLA look overmatched against Villanova or what? The Bruins are young, and they'll be back, but they looked like they were in the way of a Villanova scrimmage on Saturday.

The only upset of the day was Purdue over Washington, a 5/4 upset at that. JaJuan Johnson has looked great, but will he be able to handle UConn's 7'3" Hasheem Thabeet? One of my favorite moments in Saturday's action, by the way, was when Thabeet, of his own accord, tried to walk past coach Jim Calhoun to sub into the game. Calhoun said something to the effect of "Where the heck do you think you're goin'?!" and told him to get back on the bench. I love that the 7-foot big man thought he could sneak past his coach unnoticed. The only way it could have been better is if he had been whistling as he tried to saunter past.

Michigan had no answer for Blake Griffin, as he scored 33 points and grabbed 17 rebounds. In two tournament games, he has 61 points and 30 boards.

But the game of the day was Gonzaga vs. Western Kentucky. It was close the whole way, and WKU tied it up with eight seconds left when the Player With the Most Superfluous Letters in His First Name Steffphon Pettigrew tipped in a miss. But Demetri Goodson went the length of the floor and banked in the game-winning shot just before the buzzer, netting a Bulldog win.

With Goodson's help, I went 8-0 Saturday. Will Sunday's games echo Friday's, and be full of upsets?
