-What a great basketball weekend across the board. I noticed a few key things this weekend that i would like to elaborate on a little bit. First is that although Uconn lost to Nova i think the loss helped the Wildcats more than it hurt the Huskies. Leading to Nova's HUGE game tonight against Marquette in which if they win they could put themselves back track to make the big tourney. Also, the #1 vs. #2 game did live up to the hype in my eyes, and if a ball bouncing one way or a free throw another leading to the difference i could not drop Memphis two spots down from Tenn. Also, I am a big fan of the Georgetown Hoyas this season, i think they could definitely put a good run together again and i think they are better than most people think that's why they are #8 in my rankings. Furthermore, i think that the Indiana Hoosiers, despite the loss of their head coach is still an overall better team than Wisconsin, leading to my #11 ranking. Lastly, i had to put both Drake and Butler in because not only was that game amazing, it also could have gone either way. Drake outplayed Butler in my eyes, but a ghost foul call when Drake was up only 2 with under minute to play may have changed the outcome, leading to my decision to keep Butler slightly ahead of Drake on the rankings. This week should continue to be a very entertaining time during the NCAA's final push to March Madness, enjoy everyone i know i will!
