Welcome to Big Dill Sports, your go-to for all things college hoops. I'm Dillon, here to break down the latest NCAA basketball action. Pull up a chair and let's dive into the thrilling games we saw this week.

First up, it was a scoring fest at Stegeman Coliseum as No. 25 Georgia lit up the scoreboard, defeating Western Carolina 112-82. Jeremiah Wilkinson matched his career high with 26 points. This guy was on fire, hitting critical shots during Georgia's massive 17-point opening run. Freshman Somto Cyril dazzled with a 14-point, 10-rebound double-double, including a show-stopping dunk that pushed the Bulldogs past the century mark. Marcus “Smurf” Millender added to the tally with 17 points, and Blue Cain made a strong impact off the bench with 11.

Over in Fort Worth, TCU secured a solid win at Schollmaier Arena, beating Oral Roberts 72-53. The Horned Frogs were led by David Punch, who racked up 17 points, with a dominant first half that built a comfortable lead. Jayden Pierre was crucial, adding 12 points and guiding an early second-half run. While Oral Roberts’ Ty Harper put up a fight with 16 points, it wasn't enough to overcome TCU's commanding performance.

In an overtime showdown, Vanderbilt emerged victorious over Memphis with a 77-70 win. Duke Miles shone brightly, dropping 22 points and nailing late-game free throws to fend off a Memphis comeback. Jalen Washington partnered with Miles in sealing the deal. On the Memphis front, Hasan Abdul-Hakim recorded a double-double, while Dug McDaniel and Sincere Parker each contributed 18, though it wasn't enough to sway the game in their favor.

Heading north to Riverdale, N.Y., Furman edged out Manhattan 75-68. Alex Wilkins led the charge with 18 points and seven assists, while Cooper Bowser was perfect from the field, netting 16 points with an impressive 8-of-8 shooting. Manhattan’s Devin Dinkins and Jaden Winston both dropped 17 points, with Winston also handing out six assists and grabbing four steals.

At John M. Belk Arena, Temple triumphed over Davidson 68-63. Derrian Ford was unstoppable, scoring 23 points and pulling down nine rebounds, leading Temple to victory. Aiden Tobiason added 19 points, while Davidson's Roberts Blums and Nick Coval tried to make it interesting with 14 and 10 points respectively, but Temple’s early advantage held firm.

Finally, VCU rolled over American with a 105-83 win. Terrence Hill Jr. made his presence known off the bench, adding 17 points and five rebounds. Lazar Djokovic's efficient 15 points energized VCU, while Nyk Lewis was flawless at the line. Despite strong performances from American’s Wyatt Nausadis and Geoff Sprouse, VCU maintained control from the outset.

Now, as we wrap up today's episode, it's time for our 'Big Dill' player spotlight. This week, it's Jeremiah Wilkinson from Georgia. Tying his career high and leading the charge in a high-scoring offensive showcase certainly makes him the standout performer.
