1/23 game Rundown:

With Syracuse suffering another tough setback against one of the Big East's best, they're playing their way straight to 8/9 game. Other than a win at Cincy(which was Bearcats first game without starting 3 man Armein Kirkland), the Orange have falied to record any wins of serious note. Pitt, on the other hand, looked vey solid in rebounding from their first loss of year in picking up a much needed quality win for their profile. An interesting match-up looms for Panthers, as they face an overachieving Marquette squad on Saturday.

Texas continues to look strong after brief December debacle, blowing out Eddie Sutton's OK State Cowboys. The Cowboys will be lucky to hitch their horse to NIT at this point, a far cry from Pokes last two seasons.

Adam Morrison scores another 41, yet the Zags still fail to blow out an awful San Francisco squad. While previously being one the Zags biggest defenders, unless their defense drastically improves, an early round exit looms for Mark Few's crew.

Utah State grinds out a solid win in Reno, befuddling a Wolfpack squad that really looks to have regressed after an impressive early season start highlighted by a win at Phog. Stew Morrill's squad severely lacks quality wins, but still have the look of a 12/13 type team that could give quality teams a fit in the first round. However, the Aggies have a long way to go to be in serious at large discussion. Meanwhile, Wolfpack appear to be on the road to WAC Tourney Title or NIT bid unless they sharply change the course of their season soon.
