Just Missed

South Carolina Gamecocks – South Carolina went 3-3 during star Sindarius Thornwell’s suspension, but they did beat both Georgia and Texas A&M upon his return. The Gamecocks get a road game at Tennessee early this week.

Dayton Flyers – The Flyers are in a tie for the A-10 lead at 3-0 so far. They won big at St. Bonaventure and held off Rhode Island at home. UD will visit Massachusetts on Wednesday night to try and win their sixth straight.

USC Trojans – The Trojans lost a game they should have won against Cal to fall to 2-2 in Pac-12 play. They have a tough road week, at Utah and Colorado, to try and regain momentum.

Minnesota Golden Gophers – The Gophers are definitely one of the nice stories in college hoops this season. Minnesota has beaten both Purdue and Northwestern on the road as part of their 3-1 start to Big Ten play.

SMU Mustangs – Tim Jankovich looks mighty comfortable in Dallas right now. Larry Brown’s successor has the Mustangs on top of the AAC with 4-0 record. They have a huge date at Cincinnati on Thursday.
