Quick Sunday Musings

- Duke lost at Syracuse but showed quite a bit.  They lost Jefferson and Parker for a good chunk of the 2nd half and all of overtime and still had a chance to win.  Jefferson is becoming a force on the offensive glass.  Marshall Plumlee is basically a zero on offense so Jefferson needs to stay out of foul trouble.  Duke is up to 3rd in KenPom, right behind Syracuse.  

- The B1G is overrated.  Don't believe the hype

- Arizona lost late on the Pac-12 network but remains #1 in KenPom.  More importantly, they might have lost Brandon Ashley for the season.  They've been playing with fire lately so a loss at Cal isn't a huge surprise.

- Kudos to Texas for their 4th straight win over a ranked opponent.  

- With a decisive win over Memphis, SMU is making a strong case to dance.  Can the American get 5 teams?  They might

- UMass lost at St. Joe's and now have 3 losses in the A-10.  They have a RPI of 8 so they should be safe but they haven't played well in conference
