—We have a clear view of the student’s face. Can we get some punishment, please? Why is this allowed? I love a good, mean-spirited chant or sign, but racism is sickening. Props to DC Sports Bog and Mister Irrelevant for the screen capture. Vasquez spoke about the sign after the game. “They were calling me Mexican when I’m Venezuelan.”

—The 11 finalists for the best guard in the nation have been released. Ronald Moore has no shot, and that’s a shame. Wall win win, by the way. I know! Only here at CHJ will you get such analysis and foresight! If you want, you can vote for the award once per day here.

—Evidenced by Dayton’s big win over a quality Xavier team, the A10 is building up a case for five at-large teams.

—As was first reported by Jeff Goodman, Arizona put itself on probation over an AAU tournament that was held on campus in 2008 under the supervision of former head coach Lute Olson. Olson denies involvement.

—A sign Tubby is really hoping to hold on to his job in Minnesota: He’s willing to let Royce White come back to the team — again. So. Much. Distraction.

—Seems Wesley Johnson is going to give it a go against Cincinnati tomorrow. You may recall his dangerous fall in the Providence game. He’re what he was saying about dealing with the injury the next morning: “It was painful trying to get out of bed. I really couldn’t bend my left leg. It was so tight and so sore. My heel was sore. My whole body just wasn’t agreeing with me.” What this tells me: He really wants that Player of the Year trophy in the Big East. Syracuse doesn’t need him against Cincinnati, and I don’t think an L there would mean losing a 1-seed.

—And good friend of the site, Rob over at Ballin’ is a Habit, gives us some more perspective on today’s games worth a damn outside of the BCS conference.

—Sad: Jeron Lewis had an enlarged heart. It’s time for me to take a trip to the doctor immediately.
