Stock Watch

Stock Up:
Kentucky – forget Jodie Meeks’ 54 points for a minute. The 18 point win AT Tennessee is just as important. 13-4 and undefeated in the SEC speaks volumes that this team may be back.
Utah State – They lose all time leading scorer JayCee Carroll to graduation and they keep on going. 15-1 so far with their only loss coming against BYU. Gary Wilkinson leads this team at almost 20 a game to go with his 9 rebounds.
Wake Forest – In case you haven’t heard they knocked off North Carolina on Sunday night as 7 point dogs at home. Yes, you read that correctly, undefeated, at home, and ranked #4 and they were still getting 7 points. ESPN’s hype machine is out of control

Stock Down:
North Carolina – Last years weakness was defense, this years weakness is defense. That’s great coaching from clueless Roy. The blueprint to beat this team is obvious, push the pace and stop 1 of their top 3. Let’s see who else can step up
The MAC – ugly, ugly conference. It’s mid-January and this league has no chance at a multiple bid league already. Welcome to the 14 seed who ever win the conference tournament
Illinois State – 14-0 a week ago, 14-2 today including losses to Bradley and 4-13 Indiana State. Somebody’s crashing back to earth.
