UNC and Duke are both so talented and yet so mediocre.

So I guess Houston is number one? Purdue after a loss? Bama?

1, 2, 6, 7, 8, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 20, 21, 22, 25 all down at least once this week.

12 vs 18 to come.

So 15/25 teams will have lost this week at least once. Crazy year. I guess it could be 16/25 but Zona should win.

X and Marquette should move up a bit to borderline top ten teams, probably 11 and 12 or 12 and 13, depends on Zags.

UConn back to around 18-19. PC drop 2-3 spots to around 18-20. Depends on what voters do with IU and if SM wins or not, I think Miami jumps them.

I think Purdue stays 1

Bobby Hurley may be out of ASU at this rate.

Did anyone watch the Gonzaga-St Mary’s game?the atmosphere for that 3,500 seat arena was nice and loud, it was dynamite. St Mary’s is 9-0 in WCC while Gonzaga is 7-2 after the OT game.

How does the Committee seed St. Mary’s? 20-4 and a 6 NET, but only two Quad 1 wins in Gonzaga and San Diego State, and a pretty soft schedule overall. Pounding mediocre teams is a great way to inflate a team's NET. Is this team a 2 or 3 seed, or a 6 seed?

This is a great point.

Resume metrics say 17th or 26th. BracketMatrix has them at a 5, but that was before Gonzaga win. I think they'd get a 4 seed today

I thought Duke and UNC both looked dangerous… Lively was obscene in the post between blocks and altering shots, not to mention grabbing every single rebound. That adds a whole new element. I despise them.

The UNC guards looked phenomenal. It’s incredible how replacing Brady Manek with a similar player on paper leads to such a different team.

UNC needs to clip their guards wings and give it to Bacot.

This game is being officiated very differently than a Big East game. A foul is a foul here. In the Big East so much is not called then a little touch is called.
