The "Not So" Power 5
#108 St. Thomas has a better NET ranking than 10 "Power 5" teams:
DePaul (109), Marquette (111), South Carolina (112), Penn State (122), Pitt (124), Utah (129), Maryland (151), Boston College (152), Rutgers (155), Georgia Tech (165)
What are the odds any of these teams would offer the Tommies a "guarantee" non-conference game for the 2026-27 season? I'll tell you the odds. Slim and none, and slim has left the building.

Deep Thoughts, by Buzz Studley
If you're a college basketball "casual" (post-Super Bowl interest only), tonight would be a good night to hop aboard. There's a loaded slate that includes Michigan-Purdue, North Carolina-NC State, UCLA-Michigan State, Georgia-Kentucky, Louisville-SMU, lone unbeaten Miami U @ UMass and, if you're looking for an upset, Xavier over Villanova. March is coming.
