Butler made the NCAA Final 4 (2010, 2011). They are not a one year wonder.
I wouldn't define VCU as a one year wonder either. Good program, well coached team.

It was on national TV, part of ESPN's all day college basketballgasm. Hard to blame the Enquirer for covering it more than UC's blowout.
I blame them. City's flagship institution - ranked in top 25 - great blowout win.

Based on Marshall's performance last week we definitely need to win this game now. They lost three in a row to Nova, South Dakota St, and Hofstra.

It doesn't get any better than a buzzer beater in college basketball!

I jumped out of my seat on the Butler win. A lot of great games early this year. :)

I did the same, had the game on in the background and as soon as that shot when in I was shocked.

Nice win from Georgetown tonight. They looked really efficient offensively.

UCLA is way overrated as usual.

20 in Coaches Poll. 22 in AP Poll.
Should get a nice bump up with three wins this week.

And Texas was ranked #25? I don't think the lead was ever under single digits in the second half.

New Mexico, Alabama, and UNLV should all finish with strong RPI numbers. The Iowa St. game is big because it would not only be a solid, top 100 win, but just getting a shot at the Runnin' Rebels in Vegas would be a win/win. Even a loss would drastically improve the OOC SOS.
It doesn't mean anything right now, but it's nice to see that the RPI Forecast has our expected final RPI at 22.

great game right now on ESPN, Georgetown trailed #1 Indiana by 6 with a minute to go but rallied back to tie the game. Now headed to OT

Memphis loses yet again to a quality opponent, falling to VCU in Atlantis.
