626 - Xavier women at Wake Forest
November 21 at Lawrence Joel Coliseum in Winston-Salem, NC
ACC Network
Play-by-play man Brian Rushing, late-second quarter:
" Xavier with a quick, 4-0 outburst."
625 - Georgia State vs. Georgia
November 21 at John Gray Gymnasium in George Town, Cayman Islands
Stadium TV
Considering they were blown out in the semi finals to eventual tournament champion Creighton, GSU's run in the Cayman Islands Classic was extremely successful.
Thanks to eight 3-pointers from 6-8 forward Malik Benlevi, the Panthers had no trouble with in-state rival Georgia, winning 91-67 to grab the third-place trophy.
It's the program's first win over an SEC team since December, 2003 (Auburn), and Benlevi was a huge reason why. The senior was 8-of-11 from behind the arc (GSU as a team was 14-of-25, 56%), and with all-tournament team performer D'Marcus Simonds adding 17 points and eight assists (he averaged 21 points in three tournament games), and Kane Williams contributing 14 points and seven assists (the sophomore point guard averaged 13.3 points & 4.6 assists in the tournament), the Panthers came up with one of their bigger regular season non-conference wins in a while.

Games 590-591: Moving on to the Sweet 16
591 - (12) Florida Gulf Coast women at (4) Stanford

590 - (5) Duke women at (4) Georgia

Very rarely do you get a 4-5 matchup in the second round of the tournament and it turns into a blowout.
That happened Monday as Duke was in control from the early stages of the second quarter and won 66-40.
It was just a three-point game after one, but the Blue Devils dominated the second, holding Georgia without a point for 7 1/2 minutes and just two points in the period. Que Morrison's lay-up at the 2:41 mark finally put an end to the drought and made it a 28-14 game, though Duke scored the final seven points of the first half and led by 20 or more for the entire second half.
A combination of really good Duke defense and a ton of close shots missed by Georgia turns into a horrifying night for Georgia, which shot 23% (16-of-68) from the field.
Leaonna Odom led the way for the No. 5 seed, scoring 16 points, while Lexie Brown added 14 points, six assists and seven steals, becoming the school's single-season steals leader in the process.
Duke, which has played in the national semifinals four times but has never won a title, heads to Albany for the regional semifinals and will play unbeaten Connecticut.

Game 455 - Georgia Tech at Georgia
December 19 at Stegeman Coliseum in Athens, GA
ESPN2
Georgia put together one of the finest shooting halves we've seen at 200 Game Season, a big reason it pulled away for an 80-59 victory.
The Bulldogs (8-2) went 15-of-21 from the field (71%) in the second half, including knocking down their first eight shots, and defeated their rival for the third consecutive season.
It was just a 36-34 lead at halftime for Georgia, but six different players made shots during that 8-for-8 start that lasted the first 7 1/2 minutes of the half. By that time, Georgia led 54-41 and Tech couldn't get any closer than nine points the remainder of the night.
Yante Maten is a potential SEC player of the year and showed why in this one, finishing with 24 points on 9-of-13 shooting to lead Georgia.
* Mike Morgan and Sean Farnham:
"the difference in swagger for Georgia Tech"
"it deviated from the consistency in his program"
"he gets downhill on you"
"xs and os"
"hang their hat defensively"
"RPI killers"
"surveying the defense"
"style points"
Made-up nonsense
"recruitability"
"run out"
"valuing the basketball" (2)
"he's a grinder"
"just a nice rip through"
