what a day in college hoops! as good as advertised, y'all, with six of the top 11 teams getting upset (based on rankings, not home-court or such). besides soon-to-be-former #1 duke, the losers were uconn, illinois (who've just dropped two in a row), notre dame, 'bama, and missouri. meanwhile, soon-to-be #1 'zona didn't play their best game against ucla, but still handed the bruins their worst loss in pauley pavillion history - now, that's ugly. and soon-to-be #2 (but sure to get some first-place votes) pittsburgh looked damned good stopping syracuse's win streak at 11. everyone else in the top 25 who was supposed to win, did.
and it didn't look very pretty, but purdue went to 3-0 in the conference and got their all-important first road win in the process at penn state. yeah, I know, it's penn state, but the black-and-gold faithful - of which I'm proudly one - will take it anyway.
