Any day there is a blue blood matchup is pretty big. Tomorrow and 8-0 UCLA travels to Lexington to take on 7-0 Kentucky. UCLA is ranked 11th and Kentucky is ranked No.1. In the DPPI which is far more accurate, this is a 9 vs. 3 matchup. No. 17 Wisconsin hosts unranked Oklahoma. Wisconsin is a bit overranked IMHO since the DPPI has them 34. This is a big game for OU and the Big 12. As far as the DPPI is concerned it does not get any bigger than #1 West Virginia at #2 Virginia. The API has this as a #25 vs #6. It is a huge game for the Big 12. We need to beat all ACC teams. Of course Kansas hosts Stanford. It should be a relatively easy win for the Jayhawks. Another top 10 matchup is #7 Xavier at #9 Baylor. The DPPI has this as a 26 vs a 12 with Baylor a 9 point favorite. Another big game for the Big 12. Finally we have #8 Gonzaga at #16 Arizona. The DPPI has this as a #7 vs #41 with the Zags a 4 point favorite on the road. So 5 big games plus Kansas is always a big game for us.

Where is the DPPI linked for our reference? Such a link would be a GREAT benefit to Zone members to be sure! ;)

Thanks for all your great work,

It is very interesting to me and I would say appropriate that the 1 and 2 teams on your list are both know as defensive teams. Virginia being great in fewest points allowed though obviously pace of game is a factor there. West Virginia in forcing turnovers. This will be an interesting game. I think the four guard lineup we are using this year should be ready for these type of teams by next month.
