Still the starters had zero and the 2nd team 1. How often does that happen?

I'm glad you brought this up Chi. I just don't get it, especially at home.

Although don't forget how the road is in the PAC. I can remember DWill fouling out at UW one year in 8 minutes of play.

Found a worthless A-10 game between two .500 treading teams in UMASS & St. Joes on CBS SN.

Wasn't there significant non-basketball news coming from UMASS in the offseason? Can't remember what it was.

Lol at college game day having a segment about Asu's student section and their attempts at free throw distractions. Never mind in the video they are showing they are doing distractions when asu is down 68-49 in a half empty arena.

Wisconsin proving why Miller always fouls up 3. Michigan made a huge clutch 3 to send the game to OT.

Catching some Xavier-Georgetown. Didn't realize Georgetown was ranked (#21) though I did see them crush Villanova a few weeks ago. Seems Thompson Jr fields a ranked squad at least every other year. Program consistency.

Oh crap, I didn't right away realize that that was the UCLA Josh Smith on Georgetown now. Looks like he's lost weight, but still big.

Virginia's next three games are against Duke, North Carolina, and Louisville. I would like to see them lose at least two of those three games. They are lucky not to have to play Duke, North Carolina, and Notre Dame twice.

Although WSU is a bit of a dumpy hoops program, I wasn't all that impressed with Tony Bennett's decision to take the job considering his Father and him had turned it around there......Anyways, looks like he's doing a good job at Virginia and I stand corrected.

The Duke at Virginia game should be a good game......here's hoping the Dukies get pounded.

I knew Duke would lose this game. They couldn't use zone defense cause ND shoots the 3 at a decent clip, and Grant would beat them off the dribble. All they could hope was to outshoot ND, which they couldn't

I dunno, I have seen a lot worse calls. Pretty much every UA PAC game. At least we know Big 10 refs can be just as bad as PAC refs.

Didn't watch the game, but could have been a makeup call for a missed call on the other end.

I can't believe they choked that game away. Instead of locking down on D like we do, they played not to lose. Maybe they should watch some of our games to see how packline defense should work.

Virginia got exposed tonight...they are good but not #2 good....Now they have to play some good teams they will lose at UNC or to Louisville methinks.

No way, even with all the Duke bias, they don't drop after losing @ Notre Dame who just lost @ Pitt.

No logical reason why shouldn't be ranked higher than Duke next poll.

We should have jumped ahead of Duke after their 2nd loss... If that did not happen, no way do we jump them this week.

Going 1-1 on the road against 2 Top 10 teams is much better justification for keeping them ahead of us than losing to 2 unranked opponents, 1 of them at home (which they already did).

Thought that was an excellent game. UVA gripped, but Duke still had to nail clutch threes. Think it will be: UK, GU, UW, UVA, Duke, Az.

UVA still has two fewer losses than Duke.
Right where I want to be.
