Rutgers and FAU crack the top 25, Charleston up to 18.

Duke, UNC, Kentucky all unranked, when's the last time that happened?

Duke, UNC, Kentucky all unranked, when's the last time that happened?

Oddly, it happened almost exactly a year ago (and that was first occurrence since 1961):

Duke, UNC, Kentucky all outside of men's AP Top 25 for first time since 1961

Duke fell out of the rankings on Monday and took down a bunch of streaks with it.

(Addendum/detail -- only 10 teams in rankings in 1961, so some grain of salt -- not sure when it went to 20 and then 25, without research)

I didn't realize how much day time basketball was on MLK day.

Purdue Michigan State is a great game.

Purdue's center made that look easy. Plus the defender was all over him.

That looked way too easy. He's a beast. Like we all know, I would not want to be in Purdue's bracket...just a bad matchup.

Their guards are young and way talented.

Painter still has a month or so to go before his typical regression.

Georgetown lost at Villanova, falling to 0-8 in conference.

Hoyas haven’t won a regular-season Big East game since March 2, 2021 (vs. Xavier).

 

[NENick]

Ouch.

 

[twincyties]

It’s amazing Georgetown is so bad. So much hoops talent in DC, Maryland, and Virginia.

Weird quirk at ESPN site right now, if you go to Tuesday scores page, defaults to Top 25 (as normal), then I click "Division 1" (to get all games) and it jumps to Tuesday, March 14, 2023 (First Four).

K-State looking good against Kansas.

One team playing their "Super Bowl," and one team did on Saturday.

Same on the app.

I think the Octagon is a tough spot to play when it's going and it definitely is tonight.

KU will find their way back in.

Couple of KU friendly calls here in the past couple of minutes.
