Some ranked teams didn't dodge the upset

[IrwinFletcher]

Coupla bad losses today:

#14 Miss St goes down to a lowly South Carolina team.

 #20 Iowa State loses at Baylor.


And in the "upset" from spread:
NC State gave up a 12-0 run to UNC to start rhe game and loses as 1.5 pt fav.

Baylor is 53 in KenPom.  If an upset, it would be a mild one.

I was more considering the "ranking ahead of" as the criteria as that was the original point of the thread--to show that ranked teams lose to unranked teams all the time. Whether or not it was a Vegas or Kenpom upset is usually separate.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

I'm showing that Iowa State opened as a 3 point favorite over Baylor. A decent upset but not a huge one.

Effing Rutgers beat Ohio St. 

Couldn’t have happened to a nicer group of fans...

[Mr. Nielsen]

Houston was called for a charge on the final seconds of play. It wiped out the  basket that would have tied the game. Lost at Temple.

Auburn lost at Ole Miss.

Gutsy call on that charge, and I think the right one. Had to call something because there was too much contact, and the defender was there at least a full second, waiting for the shooter.

Any win on the road is a good one. Any of 'em.

Our guys almost certainly will lose one we're "supposed" to win before the year is over (and I hope it ain't in the NCAAs!), but we haven't yet through 16 games.

Hoosiers first loss at home.

From the IU board

It’s amazing how much we’ve regressed since the win over Marquette.

I don’t think I can remember a team that took this many steps backwards during a season.


Some others calling for Archie's head.  Ahh, that's the Hoosier faithful I remember so well.

[NickelDimer]

I’d be pretty disappointed if I was an IU fan. I was pretty sure they’d finish as a top 15 team after watching them destroy us

I was at the IU game. Nebraska was far more aggressive. IU stood around a lot on offense. IU was super confused about how to play against a 1-3-1.

Even though our defense has improved I think Wojo should throw in a zone defense once in awhile.

Sounds like they have not yet exercised the Crean demons.

Should note Reddish was out and Tre went down early. Tre is the man (Twin Cities, buddy) so it hurts.

But, rough loss regardless.

Duke with a loss.. now uw-madison extension is getting pummeled by Maryland.. kinda fun night of bball @ina

That’s annoying because that’s all Syracuse needs to back their wain into the tournament as a 10 seed yet again.

They could lose the rest of their games and the selection committee will still take them.

Yep. Makes me want to puke.

[Otule's Glass Eye]

Yep. Makes me want to puke.

And we will inevitably end up playing them in the tournament again

[IrwinFletcher]

What is worse, Syracuse gets credit for this win, but Duke was without Cam Reddish and Tre Jones played 6 minutes and then left with a bad shoulder injury.

But everyone will point to this huge win by the Orange.  Sometimes better to be lucky than good.

Hmmm, didn't see much opportunity for advancement this week.

Don’t worry, Syracuse won’t be a 15 seed.

Syracuse sucks...not far behind ND sucks.

Syracuse sucks...not far behind ND sucks.

The fan base I miss least after the shakeup. The arrogance and general attitude of their fan base was horrible. And Boeheim is an assclown
