Wow. They lost to not very good teams too. Neither should be ranked come Monday... Eases the pain of the Caymans. Sort of...

Go UNI!
 
UNI played Nova tough until last 4min and then fell apart. UNI will be a tough team for the Valley this year. Their PG is good and if Carlson can find his shot they will be a very tough team.

Preseason tournaments can be good and bad. Zona looked like a team who was on vacation and not interested in playing basketball. Is it possible to go from No2 in rankings to dropped out in 1 week???

That's a fact.
 
People often discount the mental toll these holiday tournaments take. UNI, for example, losing a tough one to Villanova, had a serious challenge trying to flush that, refresh, and play Arizona a day later — never mind the physical challenge.

Really the only time college teams play back-to-backs is during these holiday tourneys.
