After top-ranked Duke’s loss at Florida State on Wednesday night – the Devils were 8-point favorites on Bodog’s NCAA basketball odds – we are down to four unbeaten teams remaining in Division I basketball: Ohio State, Kansas, Syracuse and San Diego State. Which one will be the last standing?
All four teams play on Saturday and it would appear that San Diego State, the most surprising of the quartet of unbeatens, has the best chance of falling that day. The Aztecs, coached by Steve Fisher, who won a national title at Michigan, play at New Mexico on Saturday. The Pit is one of the toughest places in the nation to play and the Lobos are a likely NCAA Tournament team. SDSU’s next big test would come Jan. 26 at No. 10 BYU.
Ohio State, which should ascend to No. 1 in the nation next week, should make it to next weekend still unscathed as the Buckeyes have a home game with Penn State on Saturday and then one against Iowa next Wednesday. The Nittany Lions and Hawkeyes are two of the lesser teams in the Big Ten. But then OSU is at No. 16 Illinois on Jan. 22 and home to No. 8 Purdue on Jan. 25. Seems doubtful the Buckeyes make it through both games without a loss.
