Down goes Kansas.
80-76 Arizona St
Looks like Iu will be facing the number one team in two weeks.

Iu vs #1 Michigan

How is Michigan going to be #1?
They're not passing Duke or Tennessee and might not pass Kansas despite their loss.

I kind of wrote it for enthusiasm...
Virginia may take the throne...
But if not Michigan should handedly.
They are undefeated 12-0 with 8 blowouts.
And 10 double digit wins
Yes, they can. Though I'd put the chances of a win in Ann Arbor at about 5%. I'm just hoping we avoid a Duke-like thrashing.
I think, all things considered, Duke is probably a better team than Michigan. But Michigan is undefeated and Duke isn’t.
Duke also plays a freshman-heavy rotation. And youth — no matter how talented — can sometimes produce inconsistent results.
So, I’m down with the Skunk Bears being #1. They’re a damn good team.

I doubt that it gets that bad, because while Michigan's a great team, they don't have half the talent Duke does. They win on elite defense and taking care of the ball offensively.
Their offense can be terrible considering* the hype*.
Ive watched Duke play a few games now this season and if they dont play solid defense against an elite team, theyre def beatable. Add to that if the opposing team plays great interior defense, takes care of turning the ball over for fast breaks, and shoots decent. Duke is def not some crazy "unbeatable-unless-they-beat-themselves-" team like that "40-0" uk team back a few years ago were.
Why?
Theyre already doing it...
If Iu comes in lazy and half assed as usual expect a thrashing...
Don't disagree, I'm just basing it on IU improving.
IU will get beat bad at Michigan. Foul trouble and no offense to count on will be bad news. Probably be at least 20 turnovers to boot.
UM has been mediocre for a few weeks. They got a jump on the season with their travel over seas but they are settling into being a good not great team.
Simpson is a guy you can leave open. Their center is nothing special.
"Iggy" cant guard anyone.
They have no depth.
They have not had good wins, just the usual hype machine at work
I hope you kick their ass...if not that, they are definitely beatable

They whipped — and I mean whipped — Villanova, UNC, and Purdue. If those aren’t “good wins”, what are?
Michigan’s an excellent squad and the team to beat in the Big Ten.
I still don’t think they’re as good as Duke when the Blue Devils are playing their A game.

IU will probably lose this one, but the team is greatly improved since the Duke beat down. We are deeper now and Romeo and Morgan are
much better in synch. A key will be if Rob is healthy and back to playing how he was before being injured.
We'll see. about that.
MSU beat Texas and Texas beat UNC and MSU is good not great.
Nova was awful to start the season when UM beat them.
Purdue is a 1 man team that likely wont make the tourney
