-- Miami-Ohio's schedule has been marshmallow soft but nevertheless credit the RedHawks for being one of seven remaining undefeated teams, and the only one outside the Power 5. The RedHawks are in action tonight at Wright State. The other unbeatens are Arizona, Duke, Iowa State, Michigan, Nebraska, and Vanderbilt.
-- Tuesday brings a pair of Big East tilts, DePaul @ Saint John's (6/Peacock) and Butler @ UConn (7:30/Peacock). Any Big East team not named UConn or Saint John's wanting to make the NCAA Tournament would be well advised to get a win over the Huskies or Johnnies, the only clear-cut NCAA-caliber teams.
-- Kansas City gets a national TV appearance (SEC Network) tonight @ Oklahoma. I'm not sure that's a good thing for the 2-9 Roos, still in search of their first win vs. a Division I opponent.

Deep Thoughts, by Buzz Studley
It's strange this season to see South Dakota State without a lead dog. There's no Mike Daum, no Baylor Scheierman, no Zeke Mayo, no Oscar Cluff, etc. Balance is cool, but I think a championship winning team has to have one.
