Remaining unbeaten teams

Yale and Quinnipiac just lost today. Close losses to Colorado and Hofstra, respectively.

Hopefully the other undefeated team in CT doesn't follow suit knocks wood

Anyone else shocked at Maryland? I mean they haven't really played anyone yet - St Louis was supposed to be good - but they've blown out everyone they've played.

Dan's old AHC at URI is Willard's right hand guy at Maryland now, David Cox.

Yes, after a semi-disastrous four year run as a head coach.

I still don't get how SJU doesn't cover Suffolk County, Long Island. The county is most likely more populated on the western end and geographically SJU in Queens is closer. This stuff keeps me up at night.

SJU will lose soon enough and we'll take back Fairfield County and a good chunk of NY, NJ, and PA

I’m from Suffolk County. I put us over the top there.
 
Sam Houston and Seattle lost.

18 teams remain.
 
I found this at the map link, interesting.

Odds to be the last remaining undefeated team, based on 10,000 simulations of the remaining season.

  1. 18.2% Purdue
  2. 16.6% Houston
  3. 15.2% Virginia
  4. 12.4% Connecticut
  5. 6.8% Utah St.
  6. 6.5% Texas
  7. 6.5% Mississippi St.
  8. 4.6% Auburn
  9. 2.8% Arizona
  10. 2.1% Indiana
  11. 1.4% Maryland
  12. 1.3% Seattle
  13. 1.1% Southern Miss
  14. 0.91% Drake
  15. 0.88% Kansas St.
  16. 0.61% New Mexico
  17. 0.58% Sam Houston St.
  18. 0.50% UNLV
  19. 0.49% Missouri
  20. 0.22% St. John's
 
Interesting game for undefeated Virginia at Michigan tonight. Michigan doesn’t seem top tier this year but a Big10 opponent on the road such as Michigan should provide a stiff test or at the very least test what Va is made of.

K-State and Drake lost.

16 teams remain.

if anyone follows the reddit cbb "college basketball imperialism" map the big east is crushing right now.

from the perspective of this map, we want SJU to remain undefeated until conference play, so we have the opportunity to take their land later on.

I stumbled across this seconds before you posted. How exactly does this work?

every team is assigned the land (by county) closest to their campus at the start of the season. when you beat another team, you get their land.

it behooves the big east to have as much land as possible entering conference play. one slip-up out-of-conference (e.g. k state losing to butler) and you never have a chance to get your land back.

ultimately meaningless, but kinda fun to check in on as the season progresses!

Could UConn beat the record they set in 1998-99 when they started the season with 19 straight wins? That would be very tough BUT they are off to the best start since 2013-14 when they also started 9-0. We all know what happened in those other two seasons.

They are close to surpassing the 11-0 start from the 2008-09 FF team (who won 24 of their first 25) and if they were to win 3 more, I think that would be their fourth-best start ever. (1994-95 started 15-0)

Second best? The 15-0 start to the 94-95 season.

This team is matching some of the all-time best teams' early success, that's for sure.

Undefeated to start the season
1998-99 = 19-0 *championship
1994-95 = 15-0 *elite 8
2008-09 = 11-0 *final four
2005-06 = 11-0 *elite 8
2010-11 = 10-0 *championship
2013-14 = 9-0 *championship
2022-23 = 9-0 * ??

03-04 got crushed in their 4th game but bounced back nicely as we all know.

But if history has anythng to say, we are looking, at the very least, at an elite 8 team. At least. Good chance even Final four.

Looking at the schedule, they have a pretty good shot at reaching 14-0, in my opinion. After that, they hit a block of four losable games. If they hit 18-0, it would be reasonable to call this team unstoppable. (Until, of course, they are eventually stopped. Doomed.)
