Don't worry about the mules, just load the wagon!!
Okay, I just put that subject for fun. This is a review of the games tonight involving ranked teams. Mostly all projected blowouts with several possible exceptions
Baylor 30 point fave over UT Martin (ho-hum)
Louisville 28 point fave over Miami (OH)
Oregon 20 point fave over Montana
Virginia 15.3 point fave over Stony Brook (possible upset but only 2.3% probability)
One other likely blowout that is the marquis game tonight
Gonzaga a 14.2 point fave against UNC
Now for the closer games
Michigan St. only a 10.3 point fave against Northwester with a 20.4% probability of an upset.
Kentucky a 5.6 point fave against Utah with a 31.4 % probability of an upset
Tennessee only a 2.7 point fave against Cincy with a 34.7% probability of an upset.
UNC's season can take another turn downward tonight and likely will. OTOH, a win would be a great win for them and earn them a lot of street cred for sure.
Kentucky is still an unknown. They have high ranking recruits but haven't played anyone and have not looked particularly good. A home loss would be very bad indeed.

Just a follow up (all ranks are AP)...
6 Kentucky loses to Utah 69-66.
tarred ones lose to 2 Gonzaga 94-81
21 Tennessee loses to Cincy 78-66
Expect tarred ones to drop out of Coaches Poll next week. They were still ranked 23 there this week, although AP paid less attention to their blue blood status and dropped them this past Monday.
Will Tennessee stay AP Top 25?
Will UK be out of the AP Top 10?
Interesting week so far.
Hey, Jayhawks! First true road game in Philly Saturday. BEAT ‘NOVA! (AP18/CP14)
RCJHKU!
