You gotta love it when a big game lives up to its hype, and such was the case today with #5 Notre Dame's upset of #1 UConn, 73-72. The Irish, handing the Huskies their first loss, seem to have their number.

The game was good for the Big East, they say.
Notre Dame showed its tough side, and UConn didn't.
The rivalry between these two teams has become one of the best in the country, but it may be ending due to conference realignment. Some think it should remain.
UConn's defeat means there is only one undefeated team left: #4 Duke. What will happen in next week's rankings?
