Huge show: UConn finally jumps Purdue in GP's rankings, Kentucky's mega W @ Auburn; introducing the T-BAL metric (College Basketball 2/18)
Norlander's back from Alabama, but before we get to that, we must get to: Parrish finally caving and ranking UConn over Purdue. He has no choice at this point. The Huskies destroyed Marquette, while Purdue got Diebler'd at Ohio State. Plus: Kentucky's win at Auburn, with an on-the-scene report from Norlander, then a tour around the weekend, including why Houston is also a "great" team alongside UConn and Purdue; the Bad Losses of note; the T-BAL metric you need to know about NOW; an absurd run of quotes from Rick Pitino; and a remembrance of Lefty Driesell, who died over the weekend at age 92.
