Who’s the best team in the country right now?

Add UNLV to this list. They got 7 footer Emmanuel Stephen back and beat Stanford in a close one. Stephen had 18 points and 10 rebounds. He can turn the runnin rebels season around and they will also look for Myles Che to come back hopefully as well. UNLV is a threat in the MWC.

Teams that have been impressive today so far: Belmont Lipscomb Nebraska SMU Utah State UT Martin Kansas Indiana State Merrimack Alabama Saint Mary’s Iona Siena Radford Texas Tech Saint Louis San Francisco UCF Hofstra

Huge win for Arizona last night as they beat Auburn by 30. They are looking like a legit national contender right now and have the pieces to win it all.

Big win for Arizona State last night against Oklahoma. Jumped on them since the start and got the nice win. Look out for them and they could sneak their way into the touranment and bubble talk.

We got two high level matchups tonight in Arizona State vs Oklahoma and Auburn vs Arizona. I got Arizona and Oklahoma winning these games

My pick to win the MAC playoffs in Cleveland is Kent State. I think they’re physcial play can beat Akron and stop a 3 peat. They’re loaded in talent and have good experience. Miami Ohio should also be in the conversation as well.
