The upsets keep rolling

Tonight's results:

Upset: Miami 69, #6 Penn State 65. I knew this was coming after Saturday's game.

#5 Notre Dame held off Central Michigan, 72-63.

Princeton 71, Rutgers 55.

Lots of other games still in progress, and ESPN has no score updates for most of them.

Notre Dame just isn't that good this year. Overrated due to the media's continual fawning over Diggins. Baylor will hammer them by at least 20 in a few days and of course Stanford beat Baylor... ND has no significant skills, strength, experience or depth @ 4 or 5.

Can easily see them out of the top ten within a few weeks. Beating Ohio State on an aircraft carrier doesn't count as a legit early season test. That was a PR stunt.

Notre Dame isn't as good as they were last year, but they're not as bad as you think they are.

I have seen a couple of ND games and I do agree with you Sue. They are not as good as last year but I do think they will remain in the top 8. I think the Baylor game will be closer than last years, they will get all the calls. Can't wait to see what kind of show Kimmy will put on. Lol Sic 'em

I'm looking forward to that match up too, HuskyGirl :)
