Can’t believe Florida (19-6) is only slight favorite in this game against Alabama (16-8), as the Tide will be without their 2 leading scorers and rebounders with JaMychal Green and Tony Mitchell both suspended.
Kansas (20-5) got over a little rocky patch where they lost 2 of 3 games by winning their last 2 including beating 6th ranked Baylor.
The Syracuse Orange had a pretty good week last week knocking off Georgetown and Connecticut, the latter more easily than expected at home.
Is it possible a team ranked in the top 5 preseason might not even make the tournament?
The Maryland Terrapins hoops program is going through some lean times. It wasn’t that long ago that they were considered the third best program in the conference after Duke and UNC, but now they are closer to the middle of the pack with the Florida schools rising up.
Kansas (18-5) is looking to avoid losing 2 straight for the first time since 2006 and for that to happen they will need to beat a Baylor (21-2) team that is 11-1 at home this season and has won 4 straight.
I am sure that the last thing Duke wanted leading into the first of two battles with North Carolina was to lose for the first time ever at home against Miami.
Things do not stack up well for South Carolina (9-12) in this home game, as they are facing a Kentucky (22-1) team that is ranked #1 in the nation, has already beaten them by 15 points this season, and on top of that the Gamecocks have lost 6 of their last 7 games.
The Kansas Jayhawks had a stumble last weekend losing at Iowa State.
Nobody wants to give Duke the Blue Devils any credit this year. This is certainly not a juggernaut Duke squad but the way they are playing, and the way the rest of the nation is too, they have the feel of being one of the last teams standing when all is said and done in March.
What a great matchup, although it would have been better if both teams were still undefeated.
The North Carolina Tar Heel are looking to recover from one of the worst drubbings of a top team in recent memory.
It has been a while since Wake Forest was a team to be reckoned with in the ACC. They won their conference opener but have lost the last 2 including an embarrassing home loss to NC State by 36 points last time out.
Should it come as any surprise that John Calipari’s Kentucky Wildcats are loaded once again this year?
Unless you live in the ‘Queen City’ of Cincinnati, you probably don’t understand the depth of the rivalry between the Cincinnati Bearcats and the #10 Xavier Musketeers.
