I am a little surprised that no one has mentioned Louisville's loss the other night.

It appears that there are no dominate teams this year. There are a lot of good teams, but not great ones at this time. Maybe as the season progresses, someone will rise to the top, but for now, no one is safe from the upset bug.

Good one, Tip!

We have to play the Red Raiders on the 25th of January at their place. Should be a really good test for us!

Honestly no one should be surprised the Texas Tech won. They are last years runner up team and Beard is a really good coach!

UL was ranked #1, yet unranked Texas Tech was favored by 4.5 points. And Tech came into this game on 3-game losing streak!!! Vegas knows their stuff.

Texas Tech lost to Iowa 72-61, Creighton 83-76 and DePaul 65-60 before beating Louisville 70-57.

When Louiville lost ESPN once again put up a graphic to try and make Kentucky stand out in a negative way:

It listed the teams that lost ranked #1 this year:

Michigan State to Kentucky
Kentucky to an UNRANKED Evansville
Duke to SFA
Louisville to Texas Tech

Gee, wasn't SFA unranked and an even bigger Underdog than Evansville. Texas Tech, not ranked. But all the graphic said in bold was UK lost to UNRANKED Evansville. I just shook my head. Same old story.
