As of right now I would say the Kansas win. Yes, they have 4 L's but they have all been to ranked teams on the road with exception to the SD. St. game. Kansas has the toughest SOS in the country while OSU has a mediocre SOS and their best win is against a pathetic Marquette team. I expected the Iowa win. To be cliche, the WSU over KS was a shocker. This is still a solid win, especially now with W's on the road vs highly ranked teams are scarce.
Seth Davis is kind of a moron. Every year he picks Arizona to get upset in the tournament and every year he is wrong he says he will do the same thing next season.
Woah easy now. I wouldn't say we are pathetic. We're bad especially by our standards but none of the losses are bad losses and only 2 weren't close.
I'm putting this in perspective of Marquette's minimum expectations they've have established for themselves. The max is making the elite 8, the avg is advancing to the second round and the minimum is making the tournament. Currently, they would not even come close to making the tournament. Obviously they can turn things around but I don't know how unless they have some injured players coming back or just they have been chronically under-performing this season.

Arizona's win at SDSU should be in the discussion. Early in the year, hostile environment. Really impressed with Iowa as well.
