Kentucky-Kansas and Duke-Michigan State are the only marquee matchups in ESPN’s 24-hour hoops tipoff. Florida takes on Ohio State tonight in a match-up of top 10 teams.
Rachel George of the Orlando Sentinel writes of OSU’s Jared Sullinger, “While his matchup with Florida sophomore center Patric Young has drawn the most interest, Florida’s players know they need a big game from others beside Young.
“‘We’re just gonna try to contain him but let him have what he wants,’ said guard Kenny Boynton, ‘but other than that, try to contain the other players and not let the other players have big games also.’”
