Several conference teams in action against solid opponents in MTE's this week.

UConn plays Texas at 7:00 for example. Texas is fresh off a buzzer beater aganst Louisville in a game that would have been huge for the Cards. That game will be at MSG in New York.

WVU plays SMU in Fort Myers

Kansas has drawn Chaminade in Maui. Chaminade has actually beaten #1 down there before so you never know.

That was a long time ago when Chaminade knocked off Ralph Sampson and Virginia. Still, I suppose they could do so again. They'd have to be better than the squad that played here last season.

I watched a lot of these games…BYU looked like a cohesive team that is really good at fundamental basketball… looked a lot like NKU did against us last year.
