Butler finally got in the win column, 75-67 over Evansville.

Ole Miss off to a very nice 12-1 start in Coach Yo’s 4th season with a win over #18 USF. USF was the one ranked team I left off my Boneyard poll so I’m glad this kinda confirms my decision to leave them off. Ole Miss looking like they’re headed to the NCAAT. Will be an interesting team to follow in SEC play.

Too early to say with confidence that Ole Miss is an NCAAT team. The win over USF is their only notable win out of the 12, and it's of diminishing value. The rest of their OOC wins are almost certainly worthless, and they took an L to 4-5 Belmont.

Unfortunately, USF appears to have peaked around Thanksgiving. Hard to believe that the same team that beat Stanford has since lost to UT Arlington and now Ole Miss. Based on their trajectory, it's not clear that a win over USF will carry a lot of weight in March.
