Quincey Acy is taking over. Scored the last 5 points for Baylor, just kept a possession alive with an offensive rebound and then took a charge at the other end. Baylor up 1 with 1:30 to go.

Frank Martin is doing a good job with that K-State team. They are not so talented. McGruder is a good player, but this isn't K-State from a couple of years ago. Baylor has Kansas and Missouri next week. Tough road to stay unbeaten.

Yeah, K State is def overachieving.

The Big 12 is going to be a fun conference to watch this year IMO.

Rutgers is crushing Pitt @ Pitt. Will be five straight losses for Pitt if Rutgers hangs on.

So here comes to 15-0 UK run.

Makes sense since it was the big east network, a derivative of ESPN

Good. Ohio won last night. They'd dropped two in a row after starting 12-1 and being #27 in the AP poll. 13-3 now after edging Buffalo.

Looks like this year, Northern Illinois will be the Toledo of the MAC. Currently 1-13. With their one win being over some team named Roosevelt. That's a NAIA team.

Anyone seen Murray State play this year? The OVC sucks this year but are they worthy of 14 ranking?

Thanks. I will try to catch them at somepoint. Usually a team like that has a bunch of seniors and could make a Sweet 16 type run.
Virginia....people use to talk about them then they fell off, now it seems like they are back.

Speaking of dangerous mid-major teams, Iona got shocked on their home court tonight. Blew a 17 point halftime lead to Manhattan.

Drexel gets a good win over George Mason in the CAA. They've won 9 of 10 since a surprising 2-4 start.

Just read that the Pac-12 is 0-17 against currently ranked opponents. Wow.

St. Mary's beats Gonzaga by 21. WCC race could be a good one between those 2 and BYU.
