2014 interesting season

[blonthang]

Of course there's UK and everybody else.

Last night No. 10 KU lost bad to Temple:
The Link

...and go figure the BIG, with these bad losses already (maybe the UNI losses aren't too bad, apparently a good mid/low-major)

Indiana 86 Eastern Washington 88
Iowa 44 Northern Iowa 56
Michigan 70 N.J.I.T. 72
Michigan 42 Eastern Michigan
Michigan State 64 Texas Southern 71 (OT)
Northwestern 42 Northern Iowa 61
Northwestern 67 Central Michigan
Penn State 97 Charlotte 106 (2OT)
Purdue 84 Gardner-Webb 89
Rutgers 50 St. Peter's 68
Rutgers 68 St. Francis 73

The BIG's collective RPI must really stink about now.

Northern Iowa doesn't belong anywhere near this group of unlikely teams pulling off shocking upsets. They often have a good program that makes noise in the reg season. To be honest with you, they are probably a more successful program over the last decade than Iowa and Northwestern. Made the big dance 5 times since 2004....sweet 16 in 2010. Nobody takes them lightly, certainly not the teams nearby.
