This night seemed to turn out a little bit better for my picks than usual.  #10 Kansas topped #6 Baylor 68-54.  Junior 7 foot center, Jeff Withey was able to drop 25 points on 8-10 shooting from the field.  Thomas Robinson added 15 points of his own while snagging 11 rebounds.  On the flip side, Baylor’s Perry Jones III shot 1-8 from the field and only scored 5 points against the Jayhawks.

#2 Syracuse barely escaped an upset from #11 Georgetown in an overtime thriller.  The final score was 64-61.  Syracuse senior forward, Kris Joseph, was able to put up 29 points against G-Town while Fab Melo was only able to pitch in 11 of his own.

Finally, in case you somehow missed it, #9 Duke shocked #5 UNC at the buzzer as Austin Rivers made a  3-pointer at the buzzer to give them the win, 85-84.  Doc’s son finished with a career high 29 points and the biggest shot of his career thus far.  Both Tyler Zeller and Harrison Barnes both finished with 25 and 23 points, respectively.   This was probably the most exciting game to watch this season, with an NBA-like vibe and score.
