Thoughts on Monday's games

Only two games last night had the potential to impact the NCAA tournament. First, Kansas cruised to a win over Oklahoma. This game proved two things: #1 Kansas is really good and #2 Oklahoma needs Blake Griffin to be any good. If Griffin is out for an extended period of time it will be tough for Oklahoma to remain a tournament team.

The second game with tournament ramifications was the Pitt/Georgetown match-up. After beating Georgetown, Pitt should no longer have to hear the questions as to whether they are still a good team without Fields and Cook. As for Georgetown, as I mention yesterday, they still do not own a win over a team that is currently projected to be in the NCAA tournament. Upcoming home games against Notre Dame and Syracuse are games that the Hoyas should win if they want a high seed in the tournament.
