USATSI
Our weekly college basketball report card is often a space to shine a light on some of the best and worst team performances from the week that was. However, today I’m feeling like a ray of sunshine, so I’m calling an audible and pulling some strings to skew our report card heavily in favor of the former with less of the latter. You’re welcome.
For starters, that means lousy Louisville — an easy target to earn an “F” every week — is not given air in this space this week. (Another you’re welcome is due here, I’d argue.) That also means USC gets no attention today. Yes, both teams unquestionably deserve an “F” after their respective weeks, but you know what? I won’t insult your intelligence. If you’re reading this column, then I can assume I’m talking to a well-informed fan, so you already knew all this.
As such, in our report card this week we are going to focus on teams who earned “B” marks and better. There were just too many sparkling performances at the top to not highlight some of the many better showings in the sport. As always, the grades are handed out based on the week that was, running from Monday-Sunday.
