Note: This edition is late, due to work commitments and my gradually decreasing interest in college basketball as this disappointing season trudges on, so it does not take into account Saturday's games. Shout-outs to Alabama, Howard, Long Beach State, North Florida and UTEP, who managed not to lose...

A home loss to freakin' BYU? Virginia Tech, you are dead to me. You're the Texas A&M of the ACC. A road loss to freakin' St. John's? WTF, Huggs? Did your team suddenly decide it didn't want to finish in the Big East's top four? A road loss to freakin' SOUTH CAROLINA? OMG, Alabama. OMG....

Virginia Tech finally did something constructive, if totally unexpected, to help our resume cause by logging its first ACC win in five attempts at ranked Virginia, of all places.

Wins by Charleston Southern, George Washington (which is a surprising .500 in league play after an abysmal non-con), Long Beach State, UTEP and West Virginia made for a slightly cheerier update than normal.
