With No. 1 Kentucky’s loss to UCLA on Thursday and No. 2 Maryland’s loss to North Carolina on Wednesday, the No. 3 Spartans, at 9-0 after Saturday’s win, are in line for a jump up to the No. 1 spot in the AP top-25 rankings come Monday. He finished with 13 points, 12 rebounds and four assists. Valentine is a legitimate national player of the year contender, Bryn Forbes has been great in support, and the team still has upside once it gets Deyonta Davis and Harris more fully acclimated to their roles. Clark has struggled offensively this season, but he posted nine points, six rebounds and a highlight reel dunk that sure made him look healthy today.
“If we’re able to put 40 full minutes together, I think we’ll be the No. 1 team in the country”, Denzel told ESPN after the game. “But when you shoot like we did, it just gets out of hand”. The Bearcats had the youngest team in the nation last season and still have 11 underclassmen on their 15-man roster. Valentine, who was averaging 20.5 points, 8.4 rebounds and 8.4 assists, had 13 points and seven rebounds before halftime.
“Students, make sure that tonight when we win that game, please represent us”.
