Pick of the Day

Northern Iowa

There aren't a whole lot of choices today, so I'm taking a bit of a risk, taking the Panthers, who are 3-6 so far in the MVC, beating only the bottom two teams, against Southern Illinois, which is 18-4 overall, but playing on the road. This could be the win they need to get back on track.

NBA Rankings - 30 Jan

This week's hottest team was the Boston Celtics, who have won 5 straight games and have moved up to the #5 spot in the Eastern Conference, after just sneaking into the playoffs last season at 40-42. I have Boston projected to move up all the way to #3 in the East by the end of the season, and they will have a decent chance at reaching the conference finals. Here are my full current rankings:

Pick of the Day

Pick of the Day

Dayton

The Flyers are one of the best in the Atlantic 10, at 16-3, and have been ranked a couple times this season, and today they are hosting Saint Louis, which hasn't been the same since they lost Coach Majerus a few years ago.

Pick of the Day

Texas

It's kind of strange to pick the Longhorns as my most confident pick when they are going up against a team that already beat them this year, but that game came on the road against TCU, and it was only by a point, and it's the only conference game the Horned Frogs have won so far.

College Basketball Rankings - 25 Jan

The Indiana Hoosiers took a 7-notch leap this week, helping them achieve their highest ranking of the season, reaching #13 today. The Hoosiers have won 12 games in a row, with wins over Wisconsin, Notre Dame, and Ohio State in the mix, and this week they won twice by over 30 points. They still have to face Iowa twice before the season ends, and with the Hawkeyes projected to win the Big 10, Indiana could have a bit of a tougher road coming up. Here are this week's full rankings, with projected conference champions in bold and other teams projected to make the tournament underlined:
