Maybe it was strength of schedule

Good News: Not even a win against Morehead State could help the #1 ranked Huskies of UConn, as tonight they go down to the #4 ranked Villanova Wildcats. The loss leaves UConn 7-1 on the season against ranked teams and 7-0 against teams with an RPI under 214.

Bad News: Now that means, barring that Poet laureate Blue Devil J.J. Redick doesn't get into a car accident, Duke will be #1.

Other notes: Villanova is now in the top spot in the bloated Big East conference, followed by West Virginia and UConn. Right now, Jay Wright is celebrating by studying film so they don't get Pittsnogled. West Virginia plays Seton Hall tomorrow night. Congratulations Jay!

Eddie Sutton might not reach 800 career victories, as he has taken medical leave following a drunken automobile accident. Sad that he won't be coaching, but lucky to be alive.

Your Writers

  • mjunior bleeds UMass maroon and thinks Red Sox are an appropriate accessory for anything. Having spent some time in Trampa, FL, he also believes in pirates. mjunior knows that the Duke basketball team is the Yankees of college basketball. His nightmares are often punctuated with JJ Redick's poetry. Read his regular blog, The Junior Page.

  • Pico was born a little colored boy in an orange and blue Mets manger. He also watched the Rams when they came to St Louis (after he arrived) and stunk, so he feels he has a right to follow them as they lose every single game. Seeing Jets coach Herm Edwards walking in the Bellagio in Vegas last year might be one of the best moments of his life. He is following the St John's Red Storm from lovely Chicago and blogs as often as he can, even though he can't see the games on tv... yet.

  • Greg believes everyone looks good in burnt orange. During his time at Texas, he learned about the wonders of every sport that UT plays. (Including badminton?) Though he detests any and all rivals, he has been known to lay with an Aggie or two. He has also seen the Spurs play in all three of their home stadia. His ramblings can be found at his blog, The First Day of the Rest of My Life .

  • Neverecho is the brilliance that allows us all to post. She is responsible for the design and many of the tweaks. Though a Duke graduate and fan, she is still a good person and enjoys a good story about basketball. She secretly thinks JJ Redick's poetry is dreamy.
