Temple has some two confusing losses, though. Wish they could've pulled it out against UNH at least. UMASS probably isn't terrible, KenPom has them at 134, but UNH just looks so much worse.

Ohio State, who were favored by 20.5, loses to Florida Atlantic in OT.

I'd still take our big name opponents over theirs. I mean had Michigan not F'ed us, we'd have had @iowa state, @butler , Xavier, Rhode Island and then Michigan.

That said, I hate that team across town but their AD or basketball operations guy is a genius. They work the RPI so well. They don't play any elite teams ( no one expected Baylor to be this good) but do manage to play a few top 50 games and also not play any or many sub 200 teams. So their games against Lehigh, South Dakota state, UNI, buffalo, Colorado and Utah are all easily winnable games but weigh so much more then a 250+ rpi buy game.

Had Baylor not became elite over night, they could have easily went undefeated in non conference, not beat a single elite team yet gamed the RPI to be #1...

Butler getting outmanned on the glass. Hope the same happens Saturday

Butler just fouled ISU with 1.5 seconds left and lost 72-71. They are going to be ready Saturday coming off a loss and being back at home.
