Nice win for Michigan.  I can't believe Phil Booth is still playing.  Anyway, Bucks on the road against Creighton tonight.  Their coach, Greg McDermott, was probably the second choice if Holtmann didn't sign up.  FWIW they are 37 on KenPom, though not sure what value KenPom numbers are this early in the season.

Purdue up 39-23 on App St with 3 minutes left in the 1st half in the Charleston Classic.

There was some worry about App St because they hung really tight with Alabama a few days ago... But Alabama lost to Northeastern today in the same event, so maybe Alabama just isn't very good...

Bucks with a 12 point lead at the half. Looked a little lost to start, but a combo of good three point shooting, strong defense, and Creighton foul trouble helping out.  Transfer Keyshawn Woods having 15 also helping. 

Not sure they can keep this up. Felt like Creighton has a big run in them.

Hey folks... I'm not sure if you're aware of this young kid Purdue has... Named Carson Edmonds or something?

He's pretty good.

Bucks give up the lead, but close the door with a 13-0 run to win. Pretty strong start to have two quality road wins playing a lot of youngsters.

Slowest 13-3 run ever.  DePaul didn't make a basket in the final 8:09.  Heading to OT

Man nice job Iowa.  An Iowa that plays defense is a pretty good team.

Purdue with another dominating win over Davidson in the Charleston Classic. 4-0 but haven't faced tough competition yet. 

That'll come on Sunday against VaTech. If I weren't going to be drinking wine in Napa, I'd be parked in front of a TV for that one!

KenPom Power Rankings.  KenPom still heavily influenced by preseason rankings at this point, but it's better than nothing.  I'll put their current ranking first and their preseason ranking 2nd.

1. Michigan (10, 24)
2. Purdue (12, 18)
3. MSU (14, 13)
4. Indiana (17, 28)
5. Wisconsin (19, 20)
6. Nebraska (29, 38)
7. OSU (30, 41)
8. Iowa (33, 35)
9. Maryland (35, 30)
10. Penn State (36, 32)
11. Northwestern (44, 58)
12. Minnesota (48, 60)
13. Illinois (76, 85)
14. Rutgers (133, 149)

So overall, much of the conference doing better than expected.  10 teams in the top 36 is quality.

Villanova lost at home to Furman.  From national champs to NIT?
