Worst team in the state

Utah is bad, but they have been competitve against probable postseason teams WaSU, Utah St, and UCF.

The worst team in the state with the worst offense, talent, and defense in the state just beat Utah 77-44 to finish 2-1 in San Juan and improve to 8-3 on the year. The Wildcats should head into Big Ten play 10-3.

This team is young, but the confidence is starting to grow.

Really I thought Depaul was in the Big East?

Ok, let me clear myself up first.

I need to clarify what I meant by you being stuck on 'big names'. (IMO, Utah is not BCS.) So I was referring to the 'name recognition'. I make mention of you being stuck on 'names' from BCS because you liked the fact SIU got a shot at beating Minnesota in their holiday tourney instead of winning their first game and playing in the winners bracket against Marist.

So now to Utah being competitive against probable postseason teams...

Utah St? OK - They are possible. Though they really haven't beaten anybody, they currently have the lowest RPI in the WAC.

Washington St? I am not entirely impressed with their 10-1 record. A win against Gonzaga and a loss at Utah along with a win over UAB and a bunch of nobodies. I don't call them probable - but possible, yes.

UCF? You have GOT to be joking - Possible only if they win their conference tourney, but not probable.

You are like the 'drive-by media'.

Probable: 1) supported by evidence strong enough to establish presumption but not proof, 2) likely to be or become true or real

Possible: 1) being within the limits of ability, capacity, or realization, 2) being something that may or may not occur

Worst team in the state? Probably a dogfight between Eastern and Western. Chicago State might have had a chance to make some noise in the Mid-Con had they not pulled out of the league. Talk is that they're looking to get into the Horizon League, but I can't see that happening anytime soon.

Virginia and Utah may turn out to be two of the flakiest teams in the nation. Just as puzzling as Northwestern has been. Utah drops 94 on UVa, then can only manage 44 against NU? Virginia wastes a nice season-opening win against highly touted Arizona, then proceeds to lose two games by double digits in San Juan, while struggling to beat the host school in the 7th place game! I thought Davidson might win the Southern Conference in a near walkover, but perhaps Appalachian State has served notice with their title in Puerto Rico. Nice win for the Mountaineers.

DePaul has now won 5 of their last 6 and has a respectable RPI of 76.
They also have played very well over their past 10 games, going 7-3 with three close losses to Kentucky, Purdue, and UAB - all Top 50 RPI's.
They have a better RPI than 8 other Big East teams, and are really only one or two good wins from being one of the best 3-4 RPI's in the Big East.
They may not turn out to be "bad" as so many people said when Bradley played them and beat them.

Reminds me when Bradley beat Michigan with 'Tractor' Trailor (and Taylor - sp's?).... at the closing seconds of the game, Lee Hall (ISU grad) covering the game on WEEK 25/NBC affiliate said something to the effect... "well, you know Michigan isn't gonna be much in the B10 this year".

Next game for Michigan, they knocked off then #1 Duke.

Lee??? Huh???

DePaul is now ahead of BU in the Pomeroy.
