Didn't see that mentioned anywhere else. 'Nova is 3-0 but this hast to be considered surprising I think.

An UN-ranked Villanova. Duke was ranked #11 to begin the week. Losing to an unranked team should drop them at least 10 spots.

A bit draconian, no? Extremely rare for a team to drop that far on one loss.

Memo to Dukies: Don’t get grease on your hair under that vehicle, and if JPM starts the engine, beware the wheels. Just trying to be helpful.

Duke was picked to win by 9, so an upset, but not a major one. They should drop, but not much.

Speaking of movement, Michigan State won by 60 points or so - they were expected to win but not by close to that much so it would be neat if they got ranked.

Should, but won't.

They began the week just outside the top 25 @ #30 in the AP. They got 6 votes.

They fell 5 spots to #16.

Villanova's website has quotes from the post-game presser. JPM seems to have taken this one better than some past losses.

You guys know who our coach is... This is not much of a surprise. We barely beat a Grand Canyon team this year. It is what it is, and there's not much we can do about it but wait until 2020.
