Also only saw the last 1:30 garbage time but where was Winslow? Didn't even see him on the bench. Duke will be exposed again. Not enough experience, too young, not enough toughness ie tough D.
The lack of a marquee win should drop Arizona out of the top 10 this week, best case, with a win 10, with a loss tonight, 12.
Kansas' marquee losses are impressive.

Congrats to Rutgers. First time they've beat a top 5 team in school history. :)

Duke has been soft for some time. We exposed that flaw in Anaheim, at the best live ball game I have ever attended.

Watching the Syracuse game right now and it just came back from commercial with another disgustingly overdone Duke game promo.

"K making history" and all that balloon juice, followed up with another solid minute plus of former Tar Heel Hubert Davis and play-by-play guy just genuflecting over K.

Not a word about the loss tonight, even as it scrolled through the ticker. It has to be in the Bristol contract now.

Looks like I was close. Good to see Kansas at 9. But, I don't understand why Utah is ahead of us at 8? Beating Utah this year makes us the de facto Pac-12 champions.

Far from the only one. Lots of top 10 teams have losses to inferior competition which is nearly any loss...considering the fact that there are over 300 teams ranked below.

Flipping on basketball early out here (yes, pointlessly turned on the Tulsa-South Florida game) on the East Coast and ESPNU was airing a "pre-"College Gameday (in Ames IA today) talk show in which Hoiberg and some of his players are commenting at the round table of other experts like Bilas. This Hoiberg lovefest is getting WAAAAAY ahead of itself. What's so great about the guy that the talking heads are reverently referring to him as if that'll turn him into the next Izzo or K? The Hoiberg Boy Band following seems to have started last season. ISU is overrated anyway.

Louisville's offense against Duke's zone is horrendous today. They can't hit wide open shots.

I was told Pitino runs a superior offensive system. I guess players have to make shots - who'd a thunk it?

Brick City. This is on Pitino. He needs to make them make shots. Home game. Unacceptable. No excuses. 5 stars. Slow start. Not prepared. Unmotivated.

Pitino didn't prepare ... 3-21 from distance ... 30 percent on the year. Shoulda known. Maybe he can pick up an instructional DVD.

58-45 with 1:40 to go. These HOF coaches should bring on offensive gurus.

My high school team in the mid 70's ran that defensive scheme. Who knew my coach was so innovative and forward thinking. Too bad we didn't win our division.

Iowa was certainly overrated going into that Wisconsin game. They beat an early version of UNC but otherwise have been a punching bag against good competition. Still, Wisconsin did almost anything HBO can imagine to them, so I'm impressed. Maybe we'll see them get their defense together.
