* Kyle Weaver might just be the next Bruce Bowen. The Washington State senior guard clamped down on Gonzaga’s hottest scorer, Matt Bouldin, to hold him to an anemic 0-9 night from the floor for 0 points despite averaging 18.2 points in his last three games on 53% shooting. Wazzu limited the ’Zags to 15 field goals for the entire game on a 25.9% rate, just low enough to scrape past for a 51-47 Cougars victory.

* D.J. Augustin is making his case to be the best point guard in the nation. The sophomore standout dropped 10 dimes last night to go with 29 points (9-14 FG), pushing his team to an 88-72 victory over North Texas, despite taking an elbow to the face that later required three stitches. “[D.J.] has a great feel, he controlled the last five minutes of the game,” said Rick Barnes after the game. “When people started trying to deny Justin Mason and A.J. the ball, it just gives him more room and when the floor open’s up, DJ’s eyes just open up.”

* Kansas advanced to 8-0 with an 85-47 win over Eastern Washington. To give you a sense of how easy they’ve had it at times this year, this is the fourth time that all fifteen men on their roster have seen action.

* Texas Tech went on a 42-1 run last night during their 86-31 destruction of Louisiana Tech, preventing the Bulldogs from scoring a single field goal for nineteen minutes, forcing nineteen turnovers during that span. “There are little things we have to do as a basketball team,” said Tech coach Kerry Rupp to latechsports.com. “I give them credit; they did some good things defensively.”

* Seth Davis was the first to note that A.J. Ogilvy is an early-season favorite to win SEC Newcomer of the Year. The Vanderbilt freshman muscled in 23 points (7-10 FG), but no bucket was more important than a right-handed hook shot with 16.1 seconds left to put the Commodores up 80-78. “It is my favorite move and I knew that it would go in,” said Ogilvy. Shan Foster added 26 points (8-15 FG, 4-9 3FG) in the 83-80 win over Wake Forest.

* In Georgetown’s 70-60 win over Alabama last night, the Hoyas finally got the production from DaJuan Summers that they’ve expected all season. He scored a season-high 18 points (6-11 FG, 3-7 3FG) and tied a season-best with 9 boards, 3 on the offensive end. Georgetown outrebounded the Tide 45-29.
