Men’s college basketball, women’s college basketball – there’s no shortage of college ball, every night.Don’t worry, we’re here to help you figure out what you missed but shouldn’t have. Here are all the best moments from last night in college basketball.Haggerty keeps on scoringSure, there were just 11 games scheduled across men’s and women’s basketball on Monday, but if you think that means there wasn’t anything worth looking at the next morning, well, you just need to start looking deeper. Some ball is better than others, yes, but it’s still all ball.Take the Wildcats, for example. Kansas State reached the 100-point mark by beating Mississippi Valley State on Monday 108-49. You don’t score 108 points in college basketball without a few players having big games, but junior guard PJ Haggerty had the biggest. He scored 28 points to lead all Division I players on Monday — in a three-way tie — on 11-for-14 shooting, while hitting 5-of-6 threes. He also grabbed 4 rebounds, dropped 3 times and added a steal, just to round things out.After this 28-point performance, Haggerty is now leading all D-I men in points per game, at 24, putting him above Duke’s standout freshman Cameron Boozer by a full point. Haggerty does shoot 3-pointers, as evidenced by Monday’s performance, but the mid-range is his true home: he’s tied for sixth in Division I in 2-point makes, and ranks second-overall in attempts. As said, Haggerty wasn’t the only Wildcat to have a notable evening. David Castillo is a sophomore guard from the bench who scored 19 points in 25 minutes. Dorin Buca was a junior center who scored just five points, but his 7-foot-2 body allowed him to block five shots. Nate Johnson scored 14 points but, more impressively, had 5 steals during that short time. And this dunk off of one of those swipes, too:You’d expect Kansas State to perform well against Mississippi Valley State, given they are ranked dead last in the NCAA Evaluation Tool, or NET, but that’s the thing about college sports. Sometimes teams don’t take care of business like they should, which is why it’s brought up so much when they do. K-State handled their business here, and they need to if they’re going to be more than just a team on the bubble when March comes around.Vokietaitis is perfect from the lineTexas’ center Matos Vokietaitis also scored 28 points like Haggerty, but he did it in a much different way. Whereas the Wildcats’ leading scorer picked up 15 points on…
