I haven't been able to figure out why teams like MichSt and Rutgers were ever ranked in the first place.
39 pts total by Rutgers vs OhSt? Seriously?
There must be a lot of voters from Big10 country. That's all I can figure.

Tech managed to give it away at the very end of the game, but WVU was WAY less than impressive in this win. |
There are chokes and then there are CHOKES. But what Tech did down the stretch of tgat game was a big time CHOKE.

Who should've been ranked the whole time instead? Michigan St looks like a ranked team at home though, but on the road they stink. lol

Is it because it's Valentine's Day, or what is the deal with all the crazy games today?

That's basically the problem. It seems this year there's only about 15 teams that merit being ranked in the top 25.

I think that's what happens when you have a few talented players who are essentially uncoached. You get an erratic hot mess. If they get hot, they're dangerous; if not they can lose to anybody.

agree. it's all a hot mess. I'm glad I'm not voting and not on the committee. Good luck to those guys trying to sort it all out.

There are going to be a lot of laughable choices for the last half dozen at large births. And there will be a lot of complaining by essentially fungible bubble teams. The appropriate complaint this year should be "hey, they suck just as bad as we do, why did they get in over us?"

That one sure was a surprise to me but I'm happy about it as I'm rooting for Pitt now with Terri Mitchell being an assistant there.

This Michigan fan is sitting back and watching the Wolverines slowly rise in the standings. After one of the tougher B1G January schedules that left them in 10th, the Wolverines flipped the calendar into five straight wins and 4th place with a win over IU last night. They haven’t all been pretty (especially without starting pg Amy Dilk), but the team is deep and balanced. Hallie Thome, who has been battling a bad back all season, has 1999 points. She hasn’t had U-M’s game high for over a month.

Agreed. They were picked to finish either last or second to last!

I wonder how much the Jenkins excisement affected the remaining team members. Typically there are a lot of close friendships on a team so emotionally they could have just 'lost' it.

Yep that OR loss to M ST is looking pretty bad right now. I wonder if Whalen benefits from the mess in The Big Ten going forward.

| JMU had a lunchtime game with College of Charleston today and took home all the cookies, 76-35. Scoring was pretty evenly distributed, with a couple of players getting 10 or 11 points, and some others having 9. One standout stat was that JMU got 40 points off the bench, 20 of them coming from just 2 players, Jackie Benitez and Eleanore Marcizewski (who got all hers in the 4Q). CoC players are not that bad individually, but as a team they pretty much suck, and apparently the only reason they aren't in the basement of the CAA where they usually reside is that this year, Hofstra is. That could still change.

Some of the turnaround has to do with Simone Westbrook as a graduate transfer.
But no doubt Amanda Butler has done a tremendous job. If Clemson finishes the ACC at 9-7, she should be the near-unanimous COY. Clemson has not had a winning ACC record since 2001-02, the year of its last NCAAT appearance. Heck, Clemson has had only one season of more than 4 ACC wins (and it was 5) in the last 13 years!
As an aside, Clemson Assistant Coach Joy Cheek has a reputation as a very good assistant coach, in terms of player development and recruiting (which will help Clemson in future years, as I believe the team loses 3 of its top 4 players this year to graduation).

WVU was cruising along stomping on TCU...until TCU started pressing, and they cut well into the lead...I think they got it down to four. Still WVU managed to win: 79-65
I wouldn't have thought WVU would struggle against a press but they certainly did.

sort of the same story CMU cruising at Buffalo until the fourth qtr when the Bufs made a big run. Came down to FT shooting in the end CMU wins 100-95. It's going to be interesting what happens with the MAC and the NCAAs.
btw: Dillard was 11-17 from the FT line. Think those missed FTs may have made a difference?
