Discuss amongst yourselves ...

I'm glad to see Duke is finally out of the top 25. It's good to see that the writers realize that they just can't put them in there on past reputation. I guess they learned there lesson on Uconn earlier this year.

[Illusion]

Duke still has some tough road games ahead, so I expect them to remain out of the top 25.

[bigboydan]

There actually in danger of might not making the tourney too, because of there tough up coming schedule.

[Checkerboard]

Yeah, Oklahoma State dropped 3 or 4 notches. Losing in Texas tonight if Longhorns follow through.

Am I the only one that thinks it's idiotic that Ohio State is ranked ahead of Wisconsin in both polls? Consider these three things:

1. They play in the same conference and Wisconsin has a better record.
2. Wisconsin beat Ohio State, actually pretty badly, though a late Buckeye run turned a 16-point lead into a 3-point win.
3. Ohio State hasn't beaten a ranked team all season.

Sorry, actually Tennessee was ranked when they played, though OSU beat them by only 2 as a 10-point favorite.

Agreed.......OSU is soft. UW is soooooo much better than OSU. The media loves them so much...guys like Dick Vitale who know nothing talk about OSU like they already won the tournament. I would be shocked if OSU is in the Final Four.

Ohio State plays in a shiit conference and they are being treated like royalty for no reason. Anyways I would like at least one more shot at UNC before Florida wins it all again.
