CBB Update

Ohio State's Aaron Craft passes the ball around Winthrop's Gideon Gamble during the first half Tuesday in Columbus.College basketball season in full swing now, as we are about to start conference play. However, there is a very big non-conference game to be played at the Value City Arena on Saturday at 3:00. #9 Kansas is traveling to Columbus to take on the #7 ranked Ohio State Buckeyes. Ohio State's only slip up was to the best team in the country in Duke. Kansas fell earlier in the season to Michigan State. The Jayhawks have been red hot since. Kansas has won 8 straight since the close loss to the Spartans. Ohio State is lead by Junior PG Aaron Craft. Jeff Withey has become a dominant big man this year for Kansas. Withey can do it all. He has been very impressive blocking shots. Ben McLemore is Kansas' leading score with 15 points per game, and he is doing all this as a Freshman. McLemore has a bright future as a Jayhawk. Tomorrow's game will be close, but I think Kansas will pull it out. To check live updates on the game, follow me on Twitter @MM8sports.
