Can't believe it but SMU only dropped to No. 65 in Sagarin despite 17-16 record-how is that possible?
And let's not forget USC got a one seed in the NIT but struggled to beat UNC-Asheville in Los Angeles in OT. Really is a down year for the PAC-12
I watched that game and UNC-Asheville deserves some credit. Even after traveling cross-country on short notice, they shot the ball very well for about 3/4 of the game. Not having Metu reduced USC's size advantage, but Rakocevic responded with a 24 point 19 rebound game.
Regardless, USC won and will host Western Kentucky (who beat Boston College) Monday night.
