This season is as wide open as I can recall.

Most overrated team:

North Carolina

Most overhyped team:

Nevada

Most underachieving team:

West Virginia
-Not saying I expected them to win the Big 12 but without a late run againt Kansas they'd be winless. They started the year ranked. What a free fall

Hofstra has the nation's longest active winning streak. Long Island, baby!

LMAO, I was wondering why I saw this interview about the nation's third leading scorer the other day. I was wondering if the team was any good.

Imagine stating UNC was overrated then seeing them blow out VT on Big Monday

Meh, I think VT is overrated for what it's worth as well but I think UNC gets a name rep pass for how they've mostly performed. They struggled with a ND team for example that is almost all freshmen. The game was at home too. That wasn't the only game. College basketball is mostly who is at home. In VT that's a close game or a loss.

Iowa State blew a chance to have their fingerprints all over the Big 12. The only team that can probably challenge is TT and I have zero reason to trust them.

Lol Michigan BARELY beats Minnesota at Michigan.

 

[Sports Enthusiast]

Wow i'm not sure he beat the shot clock honestly, that's close.

I found it hard to believe that the announcers had no idea that they were reviewing that.

They thought it was the game clock, I mean it was close, they were .9 of a second apart. I can see making the error. What I couldn't understand is the ref went infront of the table and waived his hands, that signals no good?

What a crazy week so far, next weeks ranking in the middle will be interesting.

You've had VT lose, Maryland, Texas Tech, Buffalo, Auburn and Ole Miss.

Most of these games weren't close, Auburn loses by 3 and Buffalo loses on a last second shot. Buffalo shot like 22-60 from the field. Man, I can almost guarantee they don't shoot that bad again.

South Carolina is 10-8 but 5-1 in the SEC. Jesus, who did they play out of conference? They either had a brutal schedule or they've had a weak SEC schedule so far basically.

43 for Grant Williams... 23-for-23 from the line... Tennessee survives.

 

[New Jersey]

Seton Hall implosion in full effect.

No disrepect to DePaul but getting swept by them is as close to a one-way ticket out of the tournament as you’re gonna get.

I've calmed down over the last week, especially since there are only two teams above Big East .500 who both have six wins in the conference right now.

Our imminent doom down the Turnpike this weekend won't really change anything. If they could only play that same offense that showed up against DePaul in conjunction with their defensive form from the non-conference schedule, we'd f***ing win out after this Villanova game on Sunday. I'm actually glad its at Wells Fargo and not in the Pavilion. Not like it makes a *huge* difference but I don't want our young players in that hostile on-campus atmosphere this time around. Hopefully Romaro Gill comes back, too.

Go Pirates.

 

[Say Hey Kid]

I think any of the top 7 can win it all. VA may be the best team.

NC State survives upset bid from Clemson at the buzzer

 

[rangerssharks414]

I don't know about you guys, but I love the big non-conference games this "late" in the season.

Go Jayhawks!

 

[rangerssharks414]

Gut wrenching loss tonight... ugh.

 

[rangerssharks414]

Dort was awful again tonight.

I hope the game against San Francisco is made up, but I doubt it will be.

Michigan just killed Ohio State. Zavier Simpson had a triple-double.

i thought Holtzmann was a good coach...

Must-win for the Pirates in Newark tonight.

I will be in attendance per usual and will report back with either relief or misery.

Ohio State is really slumping in conference play. Holtman is a good coach, but the Big Ten is so good.
