Let's start in Charleston, where the host Cougars extended their home winning streak to 14 games with a 71-65 win over Tennessee.
* What's worse, the name Skylar McBee, or Skylar McBee's mustache?
* ESPN color commentator Adrian Branch's "refreshing" count: 5
He also provided viewers with the following two items:
1. (Heading into a media time out) "Hustle, bustle, zeal, zest, zip."
2. (On Tennessee struggling and calling a time out) "It's about the hustle...it's about the bustle...it's like 'where's my team'. And the pressure."
Branch then boarded his spaceship to the roof.
* It's taken years and cost us thousands of goldfish, but someone finally knows how to grade basketball I.Q., and it's ESPN's Jay Williams.
On the Florida International-Maryland broadcast, Williams handed out grades to Terps guard Terrell Stoglin.
Here was part of the graphic:
BASKETBALL I.Q.
Last year: C
This year: A-
Thanks, Jay.
* Staying with Williams, here's four things he said in a two-minute span:
"The game slows down for you"
"Cohesive unit"
"Full head of steam"
"A battle of attrition"
* More FIU-Maryland. ESPN play-by-play man Rob Stone just said FIU's Dominique Ferguson was wooed by programs like Duke and North Carolina, but "chose to come to Miami and play for Isiah Thomas".
* During the Baylor-Bethune Cookman game, FOX Sports Southwest's Greg Lucas dropped what folks in the south like to call "some knowledge":
"Bethune Cookman used to be a trade school, mainly for girls...then it was an all-black university. Now it's...(long, painful silence)...all-ethnic."
