#3 UVA and #1 Houston play tomorrow, #5 Purdue plays Saturday

They'll all win in blowouts, but whattttt iffffff

Arizona and Baylor should drop, but Creighton lost narrowly on the road to #2. They shouldn't be penalized that much.

I wonder if Texas could hop Houston based on the teams they’ve played alone. However we will find out soon enough, dates with Alabama and Virginia coming.

A 2-loss team shouldn't be ranked higher than an undefeated team, especially when that undefeated team has won every game by over 10 points, and four of those were Top 50 Kenpom teams (1 ranked #11).

Creighton has some good wins (Arkansas is a good one), but UConn's best win was better in terms of Kenpom and score differential. They are tied in the AP.

I think we likely will move ahead of Creighton given that we were barely behind if you look at the vote/point total, I'm just saying that the losses are not equivalent and a close road loss to #2 shouldn't hurt them too badly.

#5 in both polls monday,
maybe even higher if houston loses to st marys; or purdue to minnesota somehow

Definitely won't hurt them too badly but even a single voter flipping UConn and Creighton 1 spot would move us ahead of them
