Significant changes in the Associated Press Top 25 this week. Arizona, which was #2 in last week’s poll, dropped entirely out of the rankings after going 0-3 in the Battle 4 Atlantis. Purdue (#18 last week), Seton Hall (#20 last week), Saint Mary’s (#21 last week) and California Los Angeles (#24 last week) all joined Arizona on the list of “formerly ranked teams,” while Virginia (now ranked at #18), Arizona State (now ranked at #20), Texas Tech (now ranked at #22), Texas Christian (now ranked at #23) and Creighton (now ranked at #25) entered the AP Top 25. The Big East still has three teams ranked; in addition to Creighton’s replacing Seton Hall in the polls, Villanova moved up one slot to #4 after its win in the Battle 4 Atlantis, and Xavier dropped six slots to #21 after losing to Arizona State by 16 in the Las Vegas Invitational.

That Maryland v Syracuse game was the definition of a meteor game. Yuck. It was a competitive game, but I couldn't enjoy it because I wanted everyone on the screen to be engulfed in flames.

Vermont made the tourney last year and has a good chance this year. They would likely be favored over us on a neutral court right now. Let's hope we can be like them.

Damn, Myles Powell had one of the most dominant final 10 minutes of a game I've seen in quite some time. Maybe Porter @cuse. Went on a 8-0 run himself to ice the game with a deep 3 followed up by a steal and And1 lay-in. Would recommend checking it out. Think the Hall will put it together and could be a sweet 16/elite 8 type of squad this year if Powell is actually as good a player as he's shown so far. Good for Willard as well, funny how hot his seat was 3 years ago...

Don't think he was expecting such a beat down by their rival and it was a beat-down. Xavier looks really good, shooters with size, skilled front court and talented depth. Chris Mack built an excellent program and I believe this is his best team.

Actually it is much worse. Not certain if Akoy did his due diligence prior to picking SMU but the kid has only appeared in 4 of 9 games for a total of 23 minutes and has yet to score from the field. It is a shame because he could have had a significant role with the Hoyas--provided he would not insist on driving into the lane with a poor handle. By comparison, Paul White has become a key player for Oregon and the one departee whom I really regret losing. Copeland is playing and scoring a lot for the Huskers, contributing quite a bit and regaining his confidence but still shooting poorly from distance.

Dead to me.

There’s a saying in the college basketball world that teams play like the coaches that lead them. This will be true of Georgetown under Cooley’s staff as well. “Discipline is a staple. Toughness, energy, connection, and enthusiasm. Those things will also be staples of our organization,” he said.

It's been very clear for some time that Agau and his advisors had a much higher opinion of his game than was warranted.

Here we go again with the petty ex girlfriend/boyfriend mentality...

Akoy Agau is playing in his 4th game of the season coming off a knee scope and meniscus repair which means he's not in basketball conditioning as he missed a big chunk of the preseason conditioning program and is trying to get himself back into basketball shape during the season and strengthen his knee. He's got 2 years at SMU (this & next year) so its premature to make these statements and is really in bad form. He got his Georgetown degree and had the right based on the rules to freely move on. You also don't know if Ewing wanted him to stay?

Agau has moved on and I'm hoping he gets healthy finally and kills it at SMU. He gave what he could while at Georgetown. Not his fault he got hurt. I can't wait for the SMU game on ESPN that JT3 is the color analyst for.
