NINE top 21 teams lost on the same day today, including #2, #3 and #7, while #10 West Virginia had a walk in the park game.
Parity has come to college basketball in a major way when more than one-third the elite teams lose on the same day.
The Big 12 tournament will be a madhouse, but March Madness will make it look sane by comparison.
Wow!
#2 Maryland lost to Wisconsin
#3 Oklahoma lost to #6 Kansas
#7 Virginia lost to Duke
#11 Oregon lost to Stanford
#13 Louisville lost to Notre Dame
#15 Texas A&M lost to LSU
#18 Purdue lost to Michigan
#21 Baylor lost to Texas Tech
#25 Wichita State lost to Northern Iowa
But:
#10 West Virginia demolished TCU with Jon Holton back
#14 Iowa State beat #24 Texas
Oklahoma State beat Kansas State in overtime
