Four things that caught my eye from the weekend in men’s college basketball:

* THE LOVE MACHINE: Last season was the Year of the Freshman. You get young players such as Ohio State’s Greg Oden and Texas’ Kevin Durant once every generation, right? Welcome to Year of the Freshman, Part II. Maybe there isn’t an Oden or Durant, but the freshman depth is even better this season. And the best might be UCLA’s Kevin Love, a one-man wrecking crew (27 points, 14 rebounds in 33 minutes) against Washington State.

* CATS: Every journey begins with a single step. Kentucky moved in the right direction with a 79-73 double-overtime win against previously unbeaten Vanderbilt. That made Kentucky 7-7. There’s still time for the Wildcats to turn it around. Maybe. Not likely. But maybe.

* HIBBERT’S TRIFECTA: Traditionally, Georgetown is not know for its 3-point shooting. But the Hoyas beat Connecticut on a trifecta. From 7-foot-2 Roy Hibbert (of course).

* HEARTBREAKER: It’s difficult enough to face one buzzer-beater. But Florida State was hit with TWO buzzer-beaters in a double-overtime defeat at Clemson. Just what Coach Leonard Hamilton needed in his bid to get FSU back in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 1998.
