In some other surprising results.........
Indiana beat South Carolina Upstate by only 8 at home..
Matt Roth played only two shot stints...four minutes total & made two FT's.
He got a minute, 40 secs right at the end of the 1st half, then came in as part of a 5-man line change late in the 2nd half with 6 minutes to go, with maybe Crean thinking the game was in hand - 15 pt lead.
But - two minutes later, with the lead shrinking, Roth was yanked again, in short order...
Crean re-inserted most of the starters (Verdell Jones, Pritchard, Watford, Rivers).
The five players in the game right at the trying to hold on to the shrinking lead were Jones, Rivers, Watfird, Creek, Elston - the 5 starters minus Pritchard who had foul trouble.
Kentucky with all their lottery draft picks needed a gave saving, last second shot in order to beat Miami of Ohio, 72-70.
John Wall and Patrick Patterson played 37-38 minutes!
Cincy barely got by Prairie View A&M with their 5-Star guy Lance Stephenson tallying 7 pts, Cincy trailed much of the way and were down by 8 at half.
LSU was 0-15 on 3-pointers but still knocked off Indiana State.
Why can't someone ever be 0-15 vs. us??
