NIT championship game
March 29 at Madison Square Garden in New York, NY
ESPN2
Tony Carr knows how to lead his team to a championship. What a performance.
Carr just missed a triple-double, finishing with 15 points, 14 assists and nine rebounds as Penn State won its second-ever NIT title, 82-66 over Utah.
Carr, a sophomore who may or may not declare for the NBA Draft next month, tied the NIT record for single-game assists as the Nittany Lions won their most games (26) since the 2008-09 team won 27 and the school's first NIT crown.
Lamar Stevens had one of the quietest 28-point, 11-of-15 shooting games I've seen in a while, Josh Reaves was also great (18 points, 8-of-13) and Penn State turned a five-point halftime cushion into a pretty comfortable victory with 64% (16-of-25) shooting in the second half.
Sedrick Barefield was great from three-point range (6-of-8) and finished with a team-high 22 points for the Utes.

Games 449-450: Saturday night doubleheader

December 16 at Marriott Center in Provo, UT

Elijah Bryant was magnificent for the Cougars, who won for the sixth consecutive time and snapped a three-game losing streak against their rivals.
The junior guard scored 29 points on 8-of-13 shooting (5-of-7 from three) and added nine rebounds, four assists and three steals in the 77-65 victory.
BYU, which hadn't beaten Utah since December, 2012, was excellent shooting the ball from three-point range (10-of-20) and overall (27-of-52, 52%). The Cougars are now 4-0 against the state of Utah (Utah Valley, Utah State and Weber State).

Game 310 - Utah at Oregon
February 16 at Matthew Knight Arena in Eugene, OR

That's two consecutive Thursday evenings I've gotten a chance to watch Oregon and before they blew a 19-point lead at UCLA a week ago & tonight they were very impressive.
In a 79-61 win, the Ducks made 53% of their shots with four main guys - Dillon Brooks (20 points, 9-of-13 shooting), Jordan Bell, who did a bit of everything with 17 points (missed just one of eight shot attempts), seven rebounds, five of the team's 10 blocked shots and three assists, Tyler Dorsey (16 points) and Payton Pritchard (seven assists) - leading the way.
Oregon, which won its 41st consecutive home game (longest in the nation), has a really good eight-man roation with Dylan Ennis the other starter and Chris Boucher (three blocks Thursday), Kavell Bigby-Williams and Casey Benson coming off the bench. Combine an offense with five players averaging double-digit points with a defense that leads the country in blocked shots and is top-20 nationally in field goal percentage and three-point defense (Utah shot 38 and 15%, respectively in those categories on Thursday), and Oregon is on a fairly long list of national title contenders.
If not a title, then this certainly looks like a team capable of at least making the program's second final four and first since winning the first NCAA Tournament in 1939.
