Tuesday's Duds! Of! The! Day! (Bubble Teams Only)
In honor of bubble-bursting losses by Georgetown, Cincinnati, and Kansas State, I present tonight present the day's duds (rather than studs).
G - Chris Wright, Georgetown. With 9:38 remaining and the Hoyas up 46-32, their second leading scorer missed a layup. Moments later, St. John's comeback began. Wright would go on to miss another layup, this time with 5:20 left and the Hoyas up 46-38, and commit the shooting foul that allowed the Red Storm's D.J. Kennedy to make the go ahead free throws in overtime.
G - Dion Dixon, Cincinnati. With Mike Williams nursing a sprained MCL, the Bearcats needed to replace his production against South Florida. Dixon tried to do so -- and failed. He made his first field goal 5:25 into the contest, then missed his next eight, seven three pointers included.
G - Denis Clemente, Kansas State. The Wildcats' leading scorer missed all of his field goal attempts in the final 10 minutes. In the loss to Oklahoma State, he finished five for 15 from the field, committed four turnovers, and didn't grab a single rebound.
G - Larry Davis, Cincinnati. The Bearcats' normally productive reserve did more harm than good at South Florida. In 13 minutes, he missed three field goals, committed a turnover, and didn't score a single point.
F - Landon Milbourne, Maryland. The Terrapins' second leading scorer was MIA in Maryland's loss to Wake Forest. The junior missed his first five shots, didn't connect from the field until 2:34 remained in the second half, and finished with only two points. Had Milbourne played better, Maryland likely would have notched the quality win the Terrapins' need to secure an at-large bid.
