This has been a very strange year in college basketball. From the top teams to the bottom teams in the country nothing on a given night seems certain. Marquette a team that was picked ninth, two slots below SJU in the pre-season Big East poll, now looks pretty certain to win the regular season conference title.
The two top ranked teams in the country #1 Houston (25-2) and #2 Alabama (23-4) both have defeats on their resume (Houston to Temple and Alabama to UConn) to teams beaten by SJU. That is really bizarre, especially considering how far we are from the top tiered teams in the nation.
