Bracketology 101's Weekend Recap
Texas 58, Villanova 55
Ice cold shooting - especially from 3-point land - killed 'Nova.
UConn 74, Georgetown 67
There isn't a more improved player in the country than Hilton Armstrong.
Miami 81, North Carolina 70
That makes two straight wins over ranked teams for the 'Canes.
Texas Tech 76, Iowa State 73
Is this the start of a Red Raider turnaround?
Mississippi 75, Mississippi State 65
Rebels may make an appearance in next week's bracket.
Alabama 68, Kentucky 64
So much for Randolph Morris saving the slumping Wildcats.
Boston College 90, Florida State 87
The overrated Eagles avoid an 0-4 ACC start.
Kansas State 59, Kansas 55
Heck of a win for a Kansas State team that had 18 points at the half.
Oklahoma 45, Texas A&M 44
Rough week to be an Aggie fan.
Arkansas 78, Vanderbilt 66
A much-needed conference win for the Hogs.
Duke 87, Clemson 77
This one was close for a while, but Clemson had no answer for J.J. (34 pts).
Washington 69, UCLA 65
I guess the Huskies can win on the road.
Oregon 73, Arizona 68
Arizona goes 0-for-Oregon.
Xavier 78, Charlotte 65
Maybe the A-10 is a two-bid conference after all.
UAB 76, Marshall 64
The Blazers look very bracket-worthy.
UCF 66, Houston 56
Houston, you have a problem. You're off the bubble.
USC 71, Washington State 66
Looks like one week and done for Wazzou in our Field of 65.
LSU 88, Tennessee 74
The Tigers will be a tough call for next week's field.
Wichita State 81, Missouri State 57
Four from the MVC?
New Mexico State 87, Hawaii 84
Bad loss for the Rainbows. The WAC is a one-bid league at this point.
Syracuse 77, Cincinnati 58
A bad week got even worse for the Bearcats.
Pittsburgh 61, Louisville 57
Huge statement game for the Panthers.
Rutgers 78, DePaul 68
DePaul has some nice wins, but even more terrible losses.
Michigan State 62, Ohio State 59 (2OT)
The Spartans have played an absolutely brutal schedule.
Ice cold shooting - especially from 3-point land - killed 'Nova.
UConn 74, Georgetown 67

Bracketology 101's Top 10 Holiday Wishes
For this week's Top 10, we made a list (and checked it twice) of 10 wishes we have for the world of college basketball this holiday season. As always, we welcome your comments, and and we invite our readers to post their own lists.
For the holidays, we wish...
1. That Adam Morrison got rid of the pre-pubescent mustache.
2. That Dick Vitale would just marry J.J. Redick already.
3. That Stanford would beat a UC-somebody.
4. That Savannah State would give up on being a Division I team.
5. That Marcus Williams would give us back our laptop so we could finish this list.
(waiting)
(waiting)
(waiting)
(Thank you to the UConn campus police department. Back to the list.)
6. That LSU could graduate someone...anyone...ever.
7. That Conference USA would do something about its #19 RPI rating.
8. That Oklahoma would stop getting spanked by every decent team they play.
9. That Jared Dudley would stop whining about EVERY call.
10. That Bracketology 101 would stop worrying about defending the country and buying houses and post a freakin' bracket once in a while.
To all of our readers: Bracketology 101 wishes all of you a happy holiday season and a happy, healthy New Year. A new "Field of 65" will be posted shortly.
