Both #1 and #2 in college basketball fell yesterday, and as we near the madness of March, stick with your "March Madness Central", here on The Sports Scene.
#19 Tennessee 74, #2 Kentucky 65
J.P. Prince scored 20 points as the Volunteers held off a late Wildcat rally to upset the #2 team in the country. Tennessee, which earlier in the season beat #1 Kansas, scored the last nine points of the game, are now 21-7, and virtually guaranteed a trip into the tournament. Kentucky freshman sensation John Wall had 19, but the Wildcats shot just 2 for 22 from the three-point arc.
Oklahoma State 85, #1 Kansas 77
Just another day in the Big 12. The Cowboys shot an incredible 60% from the field, and controlled the game from the start, as they upset the #1 team in the country in Stillwater Saturday. As usual, Oklahoma State was led guard James Anderson, who had 27 points, despite dealing with a bad back, as the win probably puts them over the top into the NCAA tournament. Kansas, which lost for just the second time this year, was led Sherron Collins' 22 points. The fans at Gallagher-Iba Arena stormed the court as the buzzer sounded (pic below), as it was first time Cowboys had beaten a #1 since 1989.
