And there's plenty of shake ups. Cincinnati loses at home to St. John's, Ohio State loses to Illinois (is it possible they are for real?), Pittsburgh loses to Rutgers? The Big East is a mess already.
The biggest almost upset goes to Bucknell who almost won at Missouri. That would have a been a huge resume builder for a low major with a top 35 RPI already. Also in the Patriot league Lehigh takes VCU to the buzzer without leading scorer CJ McCullom, who appears to have broken his foot. Wins by both teams yesterday would have led the Patriot, yes the Patriot, League towards a potential two bid league. Perhaps it's time for my yearly love affair with the Colonial to move to the Patriot (or perhaps Ohio Valley).
Duke wins again but there seems to be some cracks in their armour. I think one of either Marshall Plumlee, Alex Murphy, or Amile Jefferson need to step up and be a 10-12 minute guy by the end of the year for them to be contenders.
Arizona also squeaks out it's second straight win to remain undefeated. I'm not ready to annoint them a top 5 team even with 0 losses but a win is a win. Michigan on the other hand just might be as good as their record....
