I'm Brian -- welcome the hoops hysteria brought to you by H&R block get it right we're spotlighting the weekend think college basketball coming up. Jeff weigh in on the big upsets this weekend. What's that would Sunday's action. Duke and Virginia met again that was very important for the blue doubles -- eighty he easily downed just happened game over Maryland after the -- beat. Virginia Tech on parity so. Blue Devils had to win to keep pace. Like it to them they were taking on the struggling Cavaliers -- lost six consecutive game. Cavaliers playing without their leading stores -- burgers sitting out with a thigh injury active job done you BA early. John -- Kyle angler for the open -- Blue Devils led by sixteen. Later saying that with a three ball he finished with 21 points on the night. Second -- did.

Pouring enough sharp with a globalized and the finished. Bench guy she'll one up his -- with a deep three. What he'd like Rashard in this one Blue Devils cruised to a 6749. Win.

ACC Florida State hosting plans Devils -- an -- ten point lead on all the out of these big putback dunk. Tigers cut into the lead as Andrei got -- Half court shot as time expires take another look young's prayer answer. Check it out Clemson -- their first lead on tatters and it's transition no. He'll Florida they fight back regaining leads the father -- there's three ball. Thirty seconds left -- still trailing usually young from the top of the key shots down the Big Three putting the Tigers on south Tigers up three total.

With a guy like Trevor Booker blocked the shot. Under -- on the 5350.

It's dead and -- dig out northwestern early and work -- Taylor battle nailed the three from beyond the target of all the ball until the first back battle against Andruw Jones he's throws down the Grand Slam. That battle with the assist to Chris after the three. -- led by fourteen at halftime.

everybody battling brain from downtown. Battle alive with -- in this game 410 minutes ago battle body chills down low and comes up with a Penn State rolls in this game seven under sixty. While playing host to Indiana first of all this deal and Robert with the move backwards fast Eric maybe for the basket. -- guys up 56.

Then moments later -- knocked down the three border I want my nod to break.

I didn't get to Aaron both inside the -- for too often left. Finally Robert with a nice pass to -- about gets the ball to go through that -- I -- runs away with this game of the big dad. Also on Sunday number three Purdue got -- first taste of what about -- couple without their number four and rebounded the boilermakers scored a season low. 44 points in the loss to number fourteen Michigan State lost them Purdue's. Game winning --

Die another -- good with foxsports.com. Senior basketball writer Jeff Goodman -- number one Kansas lost Oklahoma State this weekend. What do you take away from that game.

Well I think what everybody take away the fact that there's not one single dominant team this year. I think we've known that all along but again it's been awhile since -- jayhawks looked up so this just reminds us. They're going to the NCAA -- in the conference tournaments we can't JR may be number one team in the country but they're not that far ahead of everybody else.

Number two Kentucky also doubled this weekend losing -- Tennessee.

Yeah when he questions about the wildcats they have a stellar record but they seem like a different team at times on the road. --

Which makes sense I mean they played three freshman. Extensive minutes. John Wall only a better job of taking care of the basketball. And and really what they're they're bowler -- and is his own. If they're not making shots. They are vulnerable -- not a great perimeter shooting team they've shown that over the course of the season they've got some Gaza -- shots. But but not consistent not that knock down guy. And really on the road did you struggle because of that you're there inexperience. And Tennessee frankly they're they're tough to beat in Knoxville Jordan worry too much into it with Kentucky. Especially because in the NCAA tournament. In the SEC tournament gave their fans travel well they're not gonna be pouring in in in the type -- bay view. Like beside Knoxville where in -- 95% of fans were cheering against the.

A guy and the Big Ten Michigan State pounded Purdue the boiler makers a -- double for the rest of the season. Does that take them out of the national championship conversation.

Yeah unfortunately it completely does I mean I got an NC a night game and I almost felt badly for Purdue. Because there would have been a great story had Purdue. Gotten Indianapolis put up or you know an hour and a quarter down the road. A lot of these kids are from the area not too far from Indianapolis. But they're just not the same team without Robby probably don't have enough. Are they really struggled to score which is two buckets of options and you -- more in joined Johnson both of which you struggled against Michigan State. They're playing Chris Kramer 63 -- Dominic Carter you know power forwards. I get a distorted they're not only get up and up. To get to the national championship picture. I. I don't helping get past we Eckstein or even the sector rowdy and so what are let's -- up in the Big East Marquette has won three executive road games and overtime -- forty rebound. I have they played their way into the NCAA tournament. Yeah I think they are there'll. Pretty much a lock right now must they they sleep well at home in these last two games but they've won three overtime games all on the road. Which to -- obviously shows toughness it shows great. And really that is their head -- buzz Williams that's what he's all about that's what their best player lose are they were all about 65 galleries had to depend -- because frankly don't have any. Post players. Marquette got a great job just playing harder playing tougher than just about everybody they got up again. And it shows you what can be cal what do you do that. I think -- lawyers dumb wanna be remarkable coaching jobs of the year -- to tell that he has that to have his team. Pretty much firmly entrench right now reasonably term. Okay job as always we appreciate the and -- time now for the H&R block of the week let's check out the watch.

Let's think back to Saturday or -- stakes at -- looks like he has looked weird. USC's Marcus Johnson catches of revived and it raises the breakaway to. Take another look Johnson's guy lied to prevent the easy news.

Much more to get -- hoops hysteria presented by H&R block get it right including conversations with. Syracuse star Wesley Johnson. We're coming back after that.

I saw on the -- putting emphasis on the wrong.

Very happy when they -- this in my locker from. A -- at home -- what -- it sets up well. I like your face. The baseline.

Welcome back to hoops hysteria brought to my H&R block get a bike -- web review coming up. We'll show you Saturday's action on the hardwood before let's talk about. One of the very big upsets and bring in.

Oklahoma State head Coach Travis Ford whose team beat. Number one Kansas on Saturday go to the first media -- the game was tied at nine after that. Your club went on a big run to close out the first out what you tell your players during that break.

I think we were you know wanted to do -- strong -- from time -- come out. -- what we were with a couple different stats you know we want to make sure we. Who worked turn the ball over each time that we've got checked them out somehow coming turnover we could have where we work field goal percentage well what. We're kittens work field goal percentage want what they were shooting within knows. I guess you know for a minute how periods. But the big thing for us -- you know just trying to make sure we. Old it was 21 chat as much as possible that we are smaller basketball team. --

Not to overlook anybody about Matt pilgrim at did not miss a shot killing eight for eight from the -- he's always a station before guy averaging -- eight points a game. I -- that effort.

one's really been a different arc in the last month or so eighties playing great basketball he's bringing. Athleticism. Quickness see one guy on the team that can really play above the rim athletically. You know he can compete with anybody athletically in the country opposite rebounding because rebounding low post defense. You know it. He's really been a different force. And playing great basketball and you know he's sent out last year and -- always take guys who sit out that your little bit longer. You know to come around I think that you know what happened man he's kind of a product that you coaches taking movement atomic system. Sitting out last year and now that you really starting to come in. To his own he's. He's understating the strength of his -- really played approach drinks. And Eddie -- with a great attitude. We're really really happy with America right now.

Marshall Moses came -- scored eight points grabbed seven rebounds in just seventeen minutes of action got elected he give you off the bench.

they've done that last year is gonna allocated this year you know he had have been played at that basketball lately but yesterday we -- the what -- like all the old Marshall Moses he's again and becoming an effective game in a lot of ways scoring rebounding can be. He may not -- that totals were but he's got great string. And -- understand the game truly understand how to play defense he understands our play he understands our system. Wouldn't wouldn't -- marshall's got a mind right he's got their plan hoarded just do whatever it takes to help us win and that's all he's contrary not. He can compete with the best so.

Finally your next game -- against tech and have they just beat Texas. How do you focused on avoiding a let down at such an emotional win.

Well you know hopefully. You know was -- a -- and hopefully we will have to work out because of how great Texas paint him as a mean -- a team that -- as plain as well anybody in our league right now. You know they're they're very very good at home. -- we've got a lot of respect for in him and mark turgeon and his team so you know as a result our team we did have a great win on Saturday no question nobody can take that away from you but. Come back called Monday's -- to get back to work and understand as I said. After all -- this game get a lot problem move on. You can't get too high in this league you need to get too low in this league. And what do you win or you lose it doesn't matter who it -- win or lose together move -- the next game to prepare yourself so that is true. This week of the work last treaty to last week even after walls.

Okay coach thanks much for joining us good luck for the rest of the season now let's take a look at all the other action from Saturn.

The fact and Mike Montgomery. Hell yeah. Here on the Paxson got close at Arizona State. First steps on doubles like too often this. M Rhode grabbed the offensive board gets the ball to Jared -- jobs and knocks down the three Arizona State led by of one and half time. Well does that now belongs to the Berkeley Bears story Gutierrez with a nice -- So -- the wild shot the ball plus -- cal grab -- lead then the Bears put things away. Gutierrez on the drive a nice -- Jamal Boykin for the layup out grab a share of its first opera's title in fifty years.

Celebrating senior day at the Galen center trojans hosting Oregon State. First that god -- intercept the pass by Mike Garrity fat flush on the other hand I don't believe that -- Later USC up 53. Robert try to play as well brother but he's denied by Marcus Johnson Johnson of with a nice block coach -- one adapt -- Second half -- off turnovers -- out of -- pretty easy -- with fifteen points in the game. Fort -- one on the road. 4944. Jon Miller of the wildcat taking a trip to -- for -- Gordon or not the dunking skills. And revealed with a steal and slam. Jack try to get the ball inside the Big Easy job. Arizona is terribly does anything you can -- like you better -- slam final Williams. First up winding down get knocked down all baskets just before halftime. Clark led by seven at the break. Setting up -- makes it fifth wheel gets the ball job loss -- down wildcats within one after the free throw. That in the final game I don't. LaMont Jones with the job but the wind being -- at Arizona treats -- at the -- 7169. Yeah like seniors being honored -- play their final home game at Pauley Pavilion hosting organic or adapted ball to fire fighting wild ordered it from downtown. Dan -- Fisichella on the other three ball. Finally -- have a -- why not water -- from beyond the -- yeah seven out of 93 point range of the game. We're trying to hang in there Jeremy Anderson without without -- don't UCLA trailed by ten points at the break. You know that would make any game that -- Neal Huntington the amount of weight who plays and it kind of image. But Porter went back to work on another three pointer he finished the game might not. We'll give 176. Feet.

Illinois hosting Minnesota in the big generally first half while -- surrogate for the Davey Johnson he throws it down with -- Rams. Then moments later Johnson returning the favor getting the ball Anthony jammed it home gophers led by that I have done. They have to vote Joseph turns into Mr. Big shot as he drains a three ball go over veteran loving it -- that led all scorers with sixteen point. The Illini weren't going down without a --

Under two minutes ago. But the gophers came right back in the ball harder for the big jam. It sort of backed up by three of -- pointed down to a final shot finals Beckett -- I don't -- Bridges over the -- no good Minnesota's.

April the sixteenth due to be aware. Elsewhere on Saturday number ten New Mexico -- top seed in the Mountain West Conference tournament at. At a fair all the regular season title -- 8381. Win over BYU. Released Gary let the lobos with 23 point seven Cougars. When you -- game home winning streak it was an -- would have Provo since 2000. Add in the Big East Syracuse -- share of the regular season title possibly the number one ranking in the nation. The number four already destroyed number seven Villanova 9577. At Kansas. Thank god you lost your views of boys -- the number one if self it would be the first time since he. 10890. Season that's Syracuse would write that -- our -- Jeff Goodman caught up with Wesley Johnson following the Syracuse went.

Let's do do doctored happy here are you win last night against Villanova he's still. -- celebrating a little bit.

Load bearer and it really could go to seems like five hours are still up for that matter but Garrard. Is it hard to leave after a game like that -- riding a remote is that why you is I don't wanna party you know still by -- room read nothing more you. -- Barbara lose that we're talking I don't know who coach -- out -- Marched arm. Plus you bigness of remembered talking but the games are water cart -- did you have so it was right. But I don't. That game like let's before we got stuck but smaller banks. Were you surprised at how. I'll handle the year it'll take care of the little. About the atmosphere. I think coming into the game on them but most of really good games -- expect consideration and our horses will be that's -- the craft but we had our ball very well. -- today again -- we wanted to have a game like -- got out of mirror everywhere -- started. All forty minutes.

All the attention it's W built. Remain pretty grounded throughout -- mellowed your -- knocked everybody around you how have you been able to deal with all the attention so quickly from probably agents. Problem you know everybody trying to get a whole view from the national media -- all the attention as a bit harder not real.

I'm not really ought to take you for what it is it's. -- want to let opportunities right brokers started taking it looks rather have a ball its own stay humble when Eric berry. -- in particular probably expensive because our starters really does take its. And -- Eric Davis -- is -- six or what situation that I may have been an optimist -- Riviera is treated like anybody else.

It it's the perfect fit for you -- as far as I'll play. How you know how you are within that zone. You know he really beat your team extremely well doesn't it.

It you're but I got picked. Lot of reports have lost six on this program. What Cabrera on the plane and then. Coming here policy and that and then talk to coaches and stuff -- where our soccer coach murder about it then surely supposed.

Is it amazing. Right now that that we're talking about that you got to be the number one team McCutcheon like did you. Did you ever think this can happen this year.

Honest you know. I always -- expectations like -- we -- you know more what we did what we debt. Ability to -- him -- letting our expectation or what we knew that Lou good to people anybody in them. Caught and were precluded our. --

So are going to be honest -- in full disclosure -- a vote -- number want. You the reason I would vote and number one is not make me out there road wins against ranked. Government. Gimme gimme your reason why I should vote you got number war.

Really -- it Arafat's cargo -- and a whole process so editor. Pain and -- and we probably of the earth are they we've. We like we did last night but we are are you harping -- get more so. Now that is in your degree in nuclear we are ignorant could be the game I thought these. Are our ticket.

OK guys thanks very much much more to get to want hoops is our presented by H&R block get it right including a look at Jeff. Top five teams in the nation the argue that top spot we'll find out after this.

Former British Bryant -- Album lucky people. -- Educated guess what is it. Then there's the outrageously hot why this is how she becomes. I think -- and so yeah and it should be easy log on the message boards trying to.

Bryan Webber back would you welcome back through hoops hysteria budget by H&R block to get it right coming up Jeff couldn't run through his top five. Insemination but first let's -- Cubs border. --

I would head coach Ben Jacobs and whose team is having -- the year. Begging ended the regular season with a winning at Illinois State finishing the regular season with a perfect home record what made the McLeod centers at the top players the teams play this season.

I think it there and start of our fans we. A great run in the last month and I happen. You know last night another so loaded there. Probably never had the club senator. And I think he has. Posters. Really really get gold student body is it done a terrific job in the this is really taken this group and I think that's where at least start is evident have -- and patient and we got Derek.

You're Tebow a 25 wins in the regular season having exceeded your pre season expectations or. Is this where you thought your team would --

So we would like we were not gonna have a good basketball team simply because you're returned. How the majority of our our group from last in the poignancy term -- Casillas has some and that's a lofty goals and fortunate they've been able to. To play well enough to accomplish and number of the the -- that they put down you know in the fall it's. Think that they wanted to. To be able to do this year. You know that to say that. We thought we get to 25 wins before what to go but still inaudible -- we thought we -- quite get -- that before -- the Saint -- But our guys that I expected to to be good this year -- expected to have to win a lot of basketball games and it really prepared themselves in the -- consistently been able to do that.

Coach can you DL your team's commitment all the the -- bad you're giving up nearly fifty odd points a game this season.

Eddy -- they're really and they take a tremendous amount of Italy which we defended and -- rebound the basketball. Power and intellectually culturally changed you know defense which forces so. Their ability to to rotated. Cover up for each other and you know and in my trust what they have. And walked another to be able to commit quotations and and know that -- is -- gonna -- I'm really become a much better rebounding team over the course of the last year and I happen. So that effect it would get. Group that's been together that much more of the same great defense we don't worry for go. But I think the biggest key that is that they ticket tremendous amount of pride. And the way in which we defend and you can look at that that gives us a chance to two win basketball games.

Finally one last season's -- turner but how much different does it feel this year going in the Saint Louis that they did a year ago.

You know last year we you know. A lot of stuff that happened you know from January 1 on those what was kind of new to us we have a young basketball team last year. And quite great in November and December a year ago. We really get these -- around January 1 and and plate played very good basketball. So a lot of hosting a little bit new for these guys and now what we're supposed to get back count you know this is there have been a lot of things didn't. Compared brand new you know group we've been able to do a couple things that we didn't do last year but I think -- the positive experiences they're that we had a year ago in go to Saint Louis last year with the number one seed and now. Goldman and our goal this you're playing -- in that same time slot that at noon on Friday and I think goat this year to last year certainly gonna help us.

Coach thanks so much taking the time best of luck the rest of the way now let's find out who's in Jeff good the top spot following another wild weekend. A college basketball.

Start up would never. A very balanced club that teachers and underrated backcourt of Jacob all and Denny torment that. In at number -- cute blue double. Clearly the class of of the ACC. They'll have a tough test this week go against Maryland in College Park. The key to do down the stretch could be the player -- in omelet. Never breed a Kentucky Wildcats. Will talk on the road in Knoxville Tennessee. Still have identical records as the top two teams. Number you culminated Syracuse Orangemen get that usually win over the weekend at -- of the carrier dome against Villanova. But in my opinion don't have quite enough to overtake number one which remains a Kansas Jayhawks. Are the reason I'm giving Kansas number one. I mean more equality. -- especially on the road they've got four wins in the road against NCAA tournament teams. To Syracuse is too.

Okay Jeff great lovers always it was a of the marvelous week in college basketball let's head back to the hardwood check out the best plays of the week album. Fair.

Guys that have been.
