This Week in College BAketball

The past seven days have seen several titans of college basketball fall. On Monday U-CONN fell out of the top-25 after suffering a 3 three game losing streak. UNC fell far as well, landing at 24 before suffering a loss to Wake Forest in their only game this week. Texas? Well, after losing to Kansas State the Longhorns encored with a loss to currently un-ranked U-CONN.

So, how did the top-25 fair this week overall? Not well.
1. Texas - loses twice to KSU and U-CONN
7. Duke - lost to NC State by 14
8. Tennessee - lost by 15 to Georgia
9. Pittsburgh - lost to Georgetown and Seton Hall
10. Kansas St - lost to Oklahoma State
17. Clemson - lost to Georgia Tech and Duke (both ranked)
19. Georgia Tech - lost to Florida State
20. Northern IA - lost to Wichita State
21. Ohio State - lost to West Virginia
23. Miss State - lost to Alabama
24. UNC - lost to Wake Forest
25. Baylor - lost to #3 Kansas

So, numbers 17, 19, 20, 21, 23, 24, & 25 all lost at least once. Eleven of the top-25 lost once with three of them losing more than once.

The cougars? A home win over Wyoming followed up by a road victory over San Diego State. BYU currently sits at 14 in the AP and 13 in the Coach's. Five teams ahead of them lost with Pittsburgh and Texas losing twice. Kansas State had a case to jump up in the ranks, but after beating then number one Texas they lost to un-ranked Oklahoma State. I expect BYU to move up past three of those teams, if not four, and if they can get wins over New Mexico (who WILL be ranked as of tomorrow) on the road and rival Utah at home next week they could easily be a top-10 team for the first time in a very long time. (I wonder when the last time might have been...) Anyway, just thought you might like to see how these "elite" teams have done this last week before we get a new wave of one week wonders like Baylor, UNI, and Mississippi State.
