BOARIS MUST DIE!!!

Boaris breathed fire on everyone this week and proved that he is the one to beat. Going 14-2 he picked up 34 points, with only Jaybird coming close at 27 pts (13-1, not bad!). Not only is Boaris running away in the points category to take a 30 point lead over Akaoni and Babblemur, his teams are stepping it up in league play and turning out to be the best spread out there. Check this out:
  • #4 Pittsburgh (6-1, 18-1) - proving to be in contention for the best team in the best conference, they are beating everyone up, with their only loss at Louisville.
  • #6 Oklahoma (5-0, 19-1) - stomping all over the Big 12 led by potential player of the year Blake Griffen, their only loss at giant killer (and current loser) Arkansas.
  • #16 Butler (9-0, 18-1) - destroying the competition in the Horizon but sure to get an at-large bid even if they lose the conference tourney. Wins over Xavier and UAB, their only loss at Ohio St.
  • Kentucky (5-0, 16-4) - making a strong play for SEC champs, winning big games on the road.
  • Virginia Tech (4-1, 14-5) - sitting in second place in the ACC is a BIG deal. They beat both Miami and Wake on the road, and have won 9 of their last 10.
  • Stanford (3-4, 13-4) - Stanford went into Pac-10 play 10-0, but have finally found some competition. A tough schedule this week (at USC and UCLA) should put them in their place.
  • St. Joseph's (4-0, 11-7) - they struggled early but have hit their stride in conference play. They've lost against some of the best (Texas, Alabama, Creighton, Villanova, Siena).
  • Miss St. (4-1, 14-6) - so far holding their own in the SEC.
As for the rest of us... Jaybird had a great week going 13-1 and netting 27 points. Akaoni and HippieD picked up 20 points each, Babs and the CEO took in 17, Jut 16, Phun 15, ProgressMedia 14, Gunz only 10 and Musashisan and Notaturtle seemed lucky to get the 8 points a piece they did.

TEAM OF THE WEEK: Virginia Tech (Boaris) dealt #1 Wake Forest their first loss of the season and followed it up with a gritty win in overtime at Miami. Nice job, VT! Bastards!

COMING UP THIS WEEK: Wake v. Duke on Wednesday. Tennessee v. LSU might be good on Wednesday as well. Gonzaga v. St. Marys on Thursday is a must see game. Many others look interesting but is the Big East starting to separate into the top dogs and the mutts?
