And that&#8217;s exactly what WVU did to give Texas a chance to win the game. It was like a flashback to the &#8216;80s. Also, Pittsnogle is a funny name and all, but can we stop obsessing about him? Mike Gansey is the heart and soul of that team. He&#8217;s a good shooter, passer, rebounder and defender. Pittsnogle is one of those things. (And really, who was the scout that told Pittsnogle he&#8217;d be a second round pick in the NBA? Does that guy still have a job?)<\/p>\n<p><b>Iowa 67, Kentucky 63.<\/b> 6&#8217;-2&#8221; Rajon Rondo: 19 boards, 2 offensive, 1 block in 33 minutes. Trio of Kentucky seven-footers: 2 boards, 1 offensive, no blocks in 18 minutes. Granted, Rondo did not have a very good game offensively, but the man could use a little help.<\/p>\n<p><b>Wofford 81, Toccoa Falls 15.<\/b> Ah yes, a score usually reserved for a girls&#8217; high school basketball game. Toccoa Falls went  5 of 50 from the field and none of their players made more than one field goal. Wofford led 50 to 10 at intermission and after what must have been a halftime pep talk that would make Bob Knight blush, started the 2nd half on a 20-0 run. Hope you feel good about that, Wofford.<\/p>\n<p>And on that note, let Thanksgiving break begin.
