Duke looked like they wanted to be anywhere else but Cameron for the 1st 26 minutes of that home loss to Miami, maybe looking ahead to Wednesday.  They played solid to get back in it and force OT, but too little too late - very solid win by Miami and they are now in serious consideration for a spot in the bracket.  As is Pitt - both moved up today - still out, but closer.  Northwestern wins at Illinois and does move in over Ole Miss.  Illinois takes a drop as well. 

Rivalry week is this week, one of my favorite weeks in college hoops!!!  Enjoy!
