Hopefully the Sun Devils can pull out a win tonight.. and move to #1.

Amen to that. Trae Young of Oklahoma may be the most exciting player in men's CBB right now, but ASU is the most exciting team.

We could see multiple teams lose today. We have:
West Virginia at Texas
Tennessee at Kentucky
Louisville at NC State
Mississippi State at Georgia

The only team really safe is Connecticut.

On the men's side, 2 of the 3 remaining unbeaten teams lost today: #10 TCU by a point to #12 Oklahoma, and #1 Villanova fell to a hot-shooting Butler team.

That leaves #3 Arizona State as the lone unbeaten, and the Sun Devils face a huge challenge in Tucson tonight, at #17 Arizona.

3 of the top 5 teams lost on the same day..... all three of the unbeaten teams losing......... what a day. I love WCBB.... but Men's College basketball will always be #1 in my heart..... the fact that these upsets can happen is one reason why.

What, you mean Northern Kentucky upsetting Green Bay wasn't riveting enough for you?

Just kidding. I hear you. I've been saying all along that WCBB needs less predictability.

Not exactly shocking coming from a Duke fan. :cool:
 
If my quick look this morning is correct, looks like only one change.

Still 4 unbeaten
10 teams with single loss (West Virginia now has two losses)
 
Tn is a legit F4 contender but they have a brutal January during which they'll lose at least once. L'ville probably loses in January, but certainly by Feb. 12 :). MS St has the best shot outside of Storrs of getting to NCAAs unbeaten. They'd have to beat TN in Knoxville and beat SC at home, then win SEC tourney. Tough to do all three but possible.

I always laugh when I hear talk of strength of schedule. I heard a bit ago the UConn was had the 4th strongest schedule. Well compared to the top 3 UConn had one glaring omission - they do not get to play the #1 team...UConn!
 
All three "other" unbeatens played last night and all escaped ;)

In the single loss category, Iowa fell so there are now 9 single loss teams.
 
Yeah, we escaped. And I agree, we will lose in January if we do not get back to 40 minute games.
Good offense the first half, terrible defense. Good defense the second half, no offensive flow.
I am hoping we figure it out. The talent and depth is there.
We did hold Lexie Brown to 8 points, so we did a good job on her. But at the expense of not much other defense in the first half. Head bang

This kinda tell those that thought Mss St not for real, they ARE. Also, Tenn is better than many thought. The Miss St /Tn game should be a good one as will the USC/ Miss St.
 
Apparently I've been in error a couple days. According to the NCAA, there are only 8 single loss teams. I'm too lazy to go find who I missed.

Single loss teams:
Ball St.
Baylor
Brown
Florida St.
New Mexico
Notre Dame
South Carolina
Texas

So 4 remain unbeaten, 8 with single loss
 
New Mexico fell yesterday so now 7 single loss teams.
(4 remain unbeaten)

I watched Green Bay vs N KY. Green Bay was horrible
 
Only change is to the single loss teams: South Carolina and Florida State both lost
So now, 4 unbeatens, 5 single loss.
 
Last night Texas proceeded to lose so they fall from the ranks of the single loss teams!!

That leaves 4 unbeaten and 4 with a single loss.

There will be at least one change tonight as ND(15-1) plays Louisville(18-0). A few other games tonight could affect the other unbeaten or single loss teams.
 
Apparently Brown couldn't stand it any longer being in the single loss group so proceeded to lose today to Yale.
Makes 3 unbeatens, 3 single loss.
As a point of reference, last year games through Jan 12, there were 2 unbeaten (Miss St and UCONN) and 6 single loss teams.

Single Loss teams: Still 4 (Notre Dame got clobbered and moved to 2 losses, Tennessee joined)
So single loss teams are: Ball St., Baylor, Brown and Tenn

The cream continues to rise to the top! Three teams left. After Louisville/UConn play in February, there will only be two undefeated teams remaining, assuming Mississippi State stays the course.
Will the winner of the UConn/Louisville game, and MS run the table all the way to the 1st round of the NCAA Tournament, or might there be a loss somewhere along the trail with their name on it?
