all things being equal (i.e., physical strength), right now I'd take both the duke and connecticut women's hoops squads over their male counterparts. which leads nicely into a look at the week ahead.
+tonight's premier "big monday" game is texas tech at oklahoma. don't assume, sooner fans - the general knows that to compete in the big 12, you've gotta win on the road, and after last week's blowout at k-state you'd better believe he'll have the troops prepared.
+tuesday: notre dame at providence: what's happened to the irish? they need this one.
+a pair of dandies on wednesday, as unc hosts maryland (each coming off upset victories, unc over uconn and md, of course, over duke - someone's gotta give) and purdue has a tough road game at illinois (illini looking for redemption after losing two in a row; purdue looking to prove they're for real in the big 10 race).
+and on thursday, it's back to the acc for wake forest at virginia - both teams need this game. virginia, a team better than they sometimes look, needs it a lot more (1-3 conference).
finally, can I hear some love for creighton's kyle korver? right now, this missouri valley conference stud - '03's dan dickau (i.e. mid-major star headed for the bigs) - has my player of the year vote. without him, creighton is clearly not 15-1.
and since you're already thinking about the greatest sport in the world, division one men's college basketball, why not check out the latest edition of joe lunardi's bracketology, and read his comments from last week's bracket banter? it'll do you good, like a big bowl of oatmeal.
