When Colorado coach Gary Barnett looks at the Texas roster or watches the Longhorns on tape, he comes to a simple conclusion. "They sure have a pretty team," he said. He means pretty, as in big, fast and talented. It's exactly the kind of team they should have at a school as renowned as Texas, which is why it's hard to understand how the Longhorns (6-1, 3-1 Big 12) keep winding up in the Holiday Bowl.

On one bench, that of Boston College, there was a high-scoring offense, plenty of experience, and one of the top power plays in the nation. On the other, that of UMass-Lowell, was a roster filled with youth and inexperience but teeming with determination.

Ramon Sessions usually is content to let his Nevada teammates be the stars. When California pushed the Wolf Pack to a tight finish at the Pete Newell Challenge, the point guard found that the spotlight fits him pretty well.

No. 4 Syracuse, No. 7 Connecticut, No. 16 Pittsburgh and No. 21 Notre Dame top a league that may be as deep as any in the country.

There is plenty to play for in the final three weeks of the season -- regardless if a team still is officially alive in the playoff chase.

There are times when it's good to have a blowhard/glory hog on your roster. This is one of those times.
