Maryland lost votes this week despite going to 9-1. Can't blame the voters though because outside of Kentucky, Northwestern, and George Mason this has been a Pittsburgh kind of schedule.

[A Tasty Burgerr]

Marquette should not be receiving votes, we are not very good.

Watched K-State struggle with Texas Southern earlier in the week. Also, I got Mike Davis confused with Tommy Amaker.

Florida is going to crush K-State on Saturday.

I think we are in real danger of not making the tournament, which is absurd, and Bruce Weber should be fired after the season if that happens.

Duke signed Jabari Parker. They might win a NC next season. And this is coming from a die hard UMD fan.

Will they have any post players?

The youngest Plumlee brother, Marshall, who is supposedly the best of the 3

[Rudi]

I still have my doubts but Mason Plumlee has been a monster so far this year.

Big game coming up between OSU and Kansas. Should tell us how good of a squad we will have this year.

Likely played himself into a Top 20 pick in 2013

[Warner2BruceTD]

Wyoming is 12-0 and unranked.

The rankings mean absolutely nothing, so shame on the writers & coaches for not throwing them a bone. Wyoming can play. Larry Nance Jr is a good player and they play good team basketball. They have a high quality win over a ranked, 8-2 Colorado team.

[FUSE]

Arizona is 10-0 after beating Eastern Tennessee St handedly. Going to play the winner of Hawaii & Miami, Fla tomorrow.

Weird how they play Air Force 3 times this year including back to back road games against them on Feb 26th and Feb 27th

That's a mistake.
