The "Wait, What?" Thread

Here's the 7 though that Duquesne has beaten-
#215 Princeton
#246 Lamar
#196 Lipscomb
#129 Indiana St
#187 Air Force
#175 Loyola Marymount
#309 VMI

Not exactly murderers row. Looks like an OOC schedule that a team from that city that used to be in the Big East would be proud of. Right now #321 SOS.

Pitt is actually off to a decent start though. They beat Florida St., but offset that by losing to Nichols.
From what i found out, Duquesne is playing without a home court this year while their facility is being rebuilt, which offsets the weak schedule a bit. That's actually a proper schedule for a team at their level. No really strong teams, but avoid playing a bunch of games against the real garbage above 250.

Apples and oranges, but a certain Big East team had quite a season a few years ago playing without a home

But yeah Duquesne scheduled properly for the greater good (a10). The NET appeared to favor teams that piled up double digit wins vs weak opponents.

It's still early, but Indiana may have finally hired the right coach. The advantage Indiana has over 98% of the teams out there is they are not a stepping stone. If you win big there, there is really no job that's going to pull a coach away unless it's his alma mater, or the NBA. When they're rolling, that's a blue blood job. The support is top level.

Nice win for Louisiana Tech at Mississippi State.

Looks like Furman was leading all game but let the game slip away.

This probably doesn't belong in this thread because they play in the same conference, but Notre Dame lost to BC and it made me happy.

Helps out Depaul, I think it belongs.

Santa Clara just smashed Cal by 19. Brutal.

West Virginia, Arizona, Delaware, Indiana, Arkansas, and Colorado all take their first losses. SMU getting smashed at home by Georgetown could make it 9 undefeateds remaining.
