Now 63-39 Miami with 10 minutes left. If we're going to climb back into the top 25 next week it won't be over the Hurricanes.
I see Butler lost to LaSalle tonight as well. On any given day.
... And Drake is up by 15 over Creighton on mid-way through the second half.
As Warriorchick noted in the other thread ... Sure glad we are not playing tonight

Lasalle was favored by 2. Not an upset.

Yeah, I was surprised at that. RPI forecast only gave Butler a 51% chance of winning.
@ESPNStatsInfo: Duke's 27-point loss was tied for school's 6th-largest loss under Coach K. Largest was by 43 points to Virginia in the 1983 ACC Tournament.
All this really goes to show is how watered down college basketball is this year. There are no great teams, and really there will be no favorite to win it all come March. This makes the season fun, and not fun at the same time.
Parity baby.
Yesterday was the biggest loss by the #1 team since since 1968

Duke has now lost both of its only true road games this season.
The big loss doesn't bode well for Duke's national title aspirations. Since the NCAA tournament expanded to 64 teams in 1985, no team that has lost a game by at least 27 points has won the title.

Damm! This rules us out too because of the Florida game.
Any time you hear Vitale that upset is a good time.
And yet many people still act as if we have a 0% chance to beat Louisville.
Not saying we're likely to, but the certainty with which people predict the outcome of 40 minutes of basketball played by 18-23 year olds borders on moronic.
Gotta love the return of the soft bubble.
