Vitale's Best of the Week



Oklahoma State was on the ropes, down by 22 against Arkansas -- it looked like a laugher for the Razorbacks. But you couldn't tell that to coach Eddie Sutton and his tenacious Cowboys, who rallied and remained unbeaten.


Guard Steve Logan scored 69 in two games for the Bearcats -- including 40 against previously unbeaten Mississippi State (hey, Mississippi State schedule-makers: playing against a bunch of cupcakes doesn't get you ready for the big boys, baby).


Coach K was brilliant against Kentucky. With Duke down by 12, he took out his starters -- talk about nerve and guts. If Kentucky went on a run, the game would have been over.

But he brought the starters back (the subs actually picked up a point), and then it was the Jason Williams show. Chalk it up to motivational brilliance by Coach K -- and that's why he's a Hall of Famer.


The Badgers upset then-unbeaten Marquette behind Kirk Penney's 33 points. This is a big-time win for the Badgers and pulls them within a game of .500 at 5-6. Marquette is now 10-1.


6-foot-10 freshman Channing Frye 18 points and 16 rebounds in a road win at Oregon State. He followed that with 18 points and nine boards in a loss to Oregon.
