So Xavier felt they had been disrespected by Cinci players in the media earlier in the week. They go out and lay a beatdown on Cinci, leading the game by 20 points. And then one of the Xavier players decides to rub the victory in Cinci's face by taunting them? Fantastic I would expect this sort of behavior out of Cinci, not necessarily Xavier. Huggy Bear would have been the first one to throw a punch back in his day.

Temple beat Duke hahaha

The rebuilding at Indiana seems to have taken giant steps this year. Yes the non conference schedule was pretty weak for the most part, and people expected them to have a good win streak going into the Kentucky game, but now they appear to be the real deal. Almost nothing makes me sicker than seeing Cream and Crimson amongst the top 25.

Can the Big10 be a bigger mess?

Indiana losses at Nebraska and at home to Minnesota.
Illinois losses at Penn State.

The Pac12 just plan sucks.

Bold Prediction: Illinois misses the tournament this year.
Currently 16-8 (5-6)
RPI 45
SOS 18

Remaining schedule:
@Mich L
Purdue W
@Nebraska W
@Ohio State L
Iowa W
Michigan L
@Wisconsin L

Making them 19-12 (8-10)
Marquee Wins: Ohio State, Michigan State, Gonzaga
Bad Losses: @Penn State, Northwestern

I'm getting awfully tired of Illinois being a bubble team every year. Perhaps it is time for a new coach.

Wisconsin played so horribly in the 2nd half against Minnesota. I still can't believe they had to go to OT to win it.

I watched several yesterday, UNC Tarheels came back after loss to local rival Duke, beating Virginia..with late run

West Virginia vs Lousville was decent early game, Rick Pitino still has it

loved the Vanderbilt vs Kentucky game, Vandy gave a great go but alas Kentucky has too many weapons!

Ohio State lost to Michigan State, just trying to get back into college ball now....

Kentucky will be good for a while. They started 3 freshmen and 2 sophomores.

And how many of those starting 5 will be back next year? 2?

Make or break for the Illini today... expect disappointment.

Weber was thought to be a decent coach and an excellent recruiter.

We haven't seen much of either the past few years.

I'm not clairvoyant, but they started against 5 seniors.

The recruits are coming in though. They aren't top 10 recruits, but they are top 100. Its just he hasn't done anything since Dee Brown left.
