Unbeaten teams
Current teams making a run, but also old-school stuff.
Three unbeaten teams stayed that way Monday night, as Oklahoma, Ohio State and Wake Forest all beat up on teams they should beat.
The question is, how much longer will college hoops’ perfect teams stay that way?

Gonzaga’s dismantling (well, second-half dismantling) of Washington State on Wednesday has the Pacific Northwest buzzing.
The Zags are loaded with talent, play defense (once a rarity in Spokane) and can score like usual. That makes ‘em prime Final Four material, along with North Carolina, Connecticut, Pittsburgh, Louisville, Duke and Oklahoma (or so). So there’s that. We’ll see if it happens.
Here’s a better question: Who’s going to beat Gonzaga?

College basketball’s regular season gets tagged as blasé, but even naysayers should be pumped about Saturday.
After all, No. 1 vs. No. 2 just doesn’t happen that often. Top 10 games, sure. But this’ll be the 38th time since 1949 when the top teams face off in what should be the regular-season’s best game.
In this instance, the SEC’s best team, Tennessee, travels to No. 1 Memphis.

One undefeated New England may have lost Sunday, but there’s another still standing. And it’s an awfully familiar unbeaten sight.
The UConn women’s team torched Providence on Saturday, setting up a showdown against Big East rival Rutgers on Tuesday. Rutgers beat the Huskies in the Big East Championship last season and was the conference representative in the Final Four, losing to Tennessee in the title game. Since then, the Huskies (21-0) have torn through the competition, winning all but one game by double-digit margins.
Of course, Memphis’ men’s team is no slouch either. It just takes me out of the New England theme…

These guys are good.
North Carolina, Memphis and Kansas. Three undefeated teams, all loaded with future NBA players and carrying Final Four expectations and title aspirations.
It’s funny, too. They’ve been this good all season. But just how much longer can they keep this up?

There are 14 unbeaten men’s teams remaining in D-I. How many will remain at the end of the month?
What about at the end of January? Two team have done that in the last four years. And I think two teams have a chance to do just that this season. But let’s start with who’s most unlikely to do so.
