I really thought it was a just a matter of time until Pitt might struggle after losing two of their best players...
I really think the Big East is a little overrated...Seems like some of their teams are losing games they shouldn't be losing... |

I don't know if it's a matter of the league being overrated or just a lot of pretty good (not excellent) teams that are real hard to beat at home.
That, of course, does not excuse Pitt's loss, though the personnel losses go a long way toward explaining them. Personally, I think Jamie Dixon is sort of the Bo Ryan of the Big East -- gets a lot more out of his players' talent than Pitt fans have any right to expect. But when you're undermanned, you're undermanned.

Hodge, Calathes lead Gators to 86-64 win over No. 14 Vandy - AOL News
Hodge, Calathes lead Gators to 86-64 win over No. 14 Vandy

GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) -Walter Hodge scored a career-high 19 points, Nick Calathes
added 15 points, 10 assists and seven rebounds, and Florida used a huge first-half run
to beat No. 14 Vanderbilt 86-64 Sunday.
The Gators put together a 20-0 spurt that helped them build a 34-6 lead, then cruised
to their 13th victory in 15 games against the Commodores, including seven straight in Gainesville.
Talk about over rated.....Vandy is an imposter.
Who knows, despite all odds, we are leading the SEC East.
Maybe we get to dance again in March?

Wouldn't say Vandy is overrated, it was a bad loss, by how bad they lost, but UF did come out and shoot the ball about as well as they could...
Vandy is really only a 2 trick pony, but those 2 are very good...
Big win for tOSU in terms of RPI tho...

Indiana did not do the Big 10 any favor by losing to the Huskies at home and it was a pretty embarrassing loss. Sure won't help the Big 10 power rankings.

Men's basketball roundup: Lavender leads balanced Xavier past Massachusetts
Monday, January 28, 2008 2:59 AM
Associated Press
 Nancy Palmieri Associated Press
Xavier's Drew Lavender loses control of the ball as he is defended by Massachusetts' Dante Milligan. Lavender scored 19 points.
No. 23 Xavier 77, Massachusetts 65 -- Xavier seems to be enjoying all the talk about its balanced scoring.
Drew Lavender of Brookhaven had 19 points to lead four players in double figures, and Xavier (17-4, 5-1) defeated Massachusetts (13-6, 2-3) in an Atlantic 10 game yesterday in Amherst, Mass.
The four double-figure scorers were a bit off the pace, though. The Musketeers came into the game with six players averaging more than 10 points, but they still were pleased with the results.
"We're a very unselfish team," said Lavender, the team's point guard. "We like sharing the ball. When anyone has a lane, we take it."
No. 4 Duke 93, Maryland 84 -- DeMarcus Nelson scored 19 of his 27 points in the second half, Gerald Henderson added 23 and Duke (17-1, 5-0) rallied to beat Maryland (12-8, 2-3) in an Atlantic Coast Conference game in College Park, Md.
