The BT Powerhouse Top 25 poll held off on the craziness with a relatively quiet week. Memphis was the big loser both on and off the court as the Tigers lost twice (once by 40!) and fell out of the poll. Seton Hall, Illinois, and Iowa continued their steady rises, and LSU entered the poll for the first time.
This week could get interesting as 9 out of top 10 have mid-week road games. Four out of the top 10 play multiple road games. Stay tuned for potentially some big changes.
