BCU quietly putting on an epic start to ACC play. 0-4 with #15 Miami coming to town Wednesday, losing by an average margin of 22.5 points.
 
SMUs crowd is hyped, hope our guys can handle that pressure. Hope we smash them when they come here. Fast paced game going on
 
Two days into the week and 1, 3, 5, 18 and 20 have lost already. Crazy year.

Turns out Houston has a half decent team this year. Hope they do well in the NIT, move up in the AAC picture, and build on this season.
 
Saw this on ESPN.com:

There have been 19 losses by top-5 teams this season, 12 of them coming via unranked opponents. Each of those is the most by this date in any season in Division-I history.

Just 1 example of the parity this year. There really aren't any dominant teams. Hopefully UConn makes the NCAA Tournament because just like in 2014 this is a good year to have a non-dominant team do some damage.
 
Nebraska up 7 at Michigan State with 5 minutes to go on BTN

Texas gonna beat #6 WVU on the road. Nice RPI boost for them.
 
Looks like Shaka has that program heading in the right direction. Beat Kansas in Lawrence on Saturday (long shot) and they'll be ranked.
 
If poor end game execution is your thing then watch the end of this Nova/Hall game on CBS SN. Yikes.

Random, but I don't think I've seen this before. UCF just finished a stretch where they only played 3 opponents in 5 games:

1/2 - @ ECU
1/6 - vs. USF
1/10 - @ SMU
1/16 - vs. ECU
1/20 - @ USF

I only see one opponent there.
 
refs are legit screwing over arkansas now... also memphis up on cinci
 
Kentucky vs Vanderbilt pregame Dickie V in the crowd wearing a UK hat makes me want to vomit. Cmon Dickie, at least pretend you aren't a total front runner!

This Maryland/Mich. St game is gross.

MSU saw those Baylor highlighter uniforms from a few years ago and thought "yes, we need THOSE".
 
Watching the Mich St. vs Maryland game now and I have to say I really like Izzo. He really is a great coach and not a like a lot of the other major program coaches that we (I) don't particularly like. Just my 2 cents.
 
The refs in this MD/MSU game are really awful. Bilas has called them out numerous times.
 
Craziness continues this past week.

Top 25 teams to lose to unranked opponents:
#3 Kansas
#5 Xavier
#6 WVU
#8 SMU
#11 MSU
#12 Arizona
#18 Butler
#20 Duke
#21 USC
#21 USC
#24 South Carolina

Top 25 vs Top 25 losses:
#1 OU to #19 ISU
#4 Nova to #16 PC (OT)
#7 Maryland to #11 MSU
#13 Baylor to #1 OU
#18 Butler to #16 PC
#22 Purdue to #9 Iowa

21 USC and 18 Butler had the worst weeks, both going 0-2 and losing to at least one unranked opponent. Both should drop out. South Carolina lost and should drop out, considering they were 24. 22 Purdue lost but I would leave them in at 24 or 25. 20 Duke may stay in, but shouldn't after losing to Cuse and beating a bad NCST.

EDIT: Cuse is at UVA today
 
In the others receiving votes column:

Pitt (184 votes) lost to NCST and beat FSU
Clemson (53 votes) lost to UVA

Less than 50 votes:
Wichita St beat Indiana State, UNI and Bradley
Valparaiso beat N. Kentucky and Youngstown State but lost to Wright State
ND beat VTech and BC
Dayton beat St Bonnie's and Fordham

The remaining teams received fewer than 9 votes. IU was #25 with 210.
