For this particular week, Virginia dropped 7 spots and Duke dropped 3, both going from higher than Indiana, to lower. Therefore IU moved up 2 spots.

I'm not sure what happened the week you dropped them to 22, then out, with respect to those around them.

Teams unranked need to legitimately have a big win and surpass a ranked team, not merely survive and leap up after a ranked team loses to a favored opponent.

#25 is very likely still top 25 by losing by 7 to #15 on the road. 

 

Sure you can say that. But when you're But when I had Indiana at 19th, they were dominated by Arizona. Whether anyone likes it or not, that is bad and was going to get them to drop. The AP dropped them a total of 8 spots over the 3 weeks through the Rutgers to Kansas loss. Down to #18. I never had Indiana as high as #10. I dropped Indiana from 14 to 19 after the Rutgers loss. It was ugly. Indiana didn't look like a Top 25 team by any means. Then I dropped them from 19 to 22 after the Arizona loss. There was some stuff that happened around them and they at least fought back a bit in that game and Arizona really showed how good they were. I then dropped Indiana from 22 to out after the Kansas game. The Kansas game was domination from beginning to end. The teams that moved in that week were Miami, Kansas State and Marquette.

Seton Hall/Marquette game of the night.  Hopefully a good one because not much else on tonight

Just a warning, once it gets to 2014 is when the Big East had just broken up. So UConn, Cincy and Memphis weren't in Power conferences anymore and in the AAC.

No, But she was spotted at a Mozerati Dealership on Christmas eve. No further reports though.

She’s coming to his defense now.

Yes -- she's 'recanting' -- or at least softening -- and saying that she never wanted him arrested.  Unfortunately IF he did attack her, it's a very common response of a victim of domestic violence to change their story.

Maybe she forgot she had to marry him to get half(of Beard wasn't smart enough to have her sign anything.

Here is how teams with below .500 conference records have performed in the Round of 64. I didn't count a single play in game. Just 1st round and beyond. As you can see, from 2007-2017(including Arizona) only 12 teams made it. From 2018-2022 there have been 14.

....

 

Thanks for posting both lists.  Know what's amazing?  What is sticking out like a sore thumb is the Big 12 teams with under .500 records losing in the first round.  9 of the 13 teams from the Big 10, SEC, ACC, Pac 10 and Big East won their opening games.  The Big 12 teams, though, won only 2 of 10 opening games.  So the Big 12 won 20% of their openers while the others won 69% of their openers....so I can see why you posted about the Big 12 in particular.  Combined, all power teams were 11-12 in openers (48%).

 Non power conference teams were 30-33 in their openers (48%).

So the descrepancy doesn't seem to come in the opening games but rather that the non-power conference team that makes it past round one is more likely to continue winning.

Tennessee and Ole Miss in a good game if you can get past the play by play as she is terribly annoying.

[Uspshoosier]

Good to have multiple good games on at a time.   Tenn up 2 with 44 sec to go at Ole Miss.    UConn up 4 at home against nova in first half.   Karaban would of been a good one

Water pipe burst before Christmas.  Brutal

Sean East is punking Kentucky 

Currently Kentucky’s only offense is missing a shot and hoping Tshiebwe gets a second chance bucket.

All access game tonight in the Xavier/St John’s game.   These are always fun to watch.

Mizzou looking good so far. Man they play fast and free.
