Duke's Harry Giles made his college debut Monday night.

There wasn't much to it.

(Zero points. Zero assists. Zero rebounds.)

I discuss that with Matt Norlander at the top of this episode of the Eye on College Basketball podcast -- then we dive into a conversation about Malik Monk's 47-point performance against North Carolina, which apparently impressed me more than it impressed Norlander. (Wait until you see where he has Monk in the Freshman of the Year race.) Either way, Monk is on pace to replace Dajaun Wagner -- Juanny Wags! -- as the top scorer to ever play for John Calipari. That fact led to a conversation about Wagner. Which led to a conversation about Arthur Barclay. Which led to a conversation about Jay Z. Which led to a #WorldWideWes mention.

(We kinda got sidetracked for a bit.)

Who is going to win Wednesday's game between Kentucky and Louisville?

We picked winners.

Then we discussed Michigan State's struggles and Butler's great start.

The latest Eye on College Basketball podcast is below.

Give it a listen.
