NET: Tommies remain at #112

The Spread: St. Thomas -17.5
The Skinny: The Golden Eagles have lost 12 straight. Their last win vs. a DI opponent occurred Dec. 6, 72-68 over Montana State, ironically, a team that beat the Tommies 82-74.

-- Bubble teams that can pick up truly resume-helping wins this weekend:
Indiana (Wisconsin)
Virginia Tech (@ NC State)
Baylor (@ Iowa State)
Oklahoma State (@ Arizona)
Cal (Clemson)
Ohio State (Michigan) on Sunday
-- Saint John's beat UConn 81-72 in a heavyweight matchup at Madison Square Garden that lived up to its billing. It will be a major surprise (and disappointment) if these two teams aren't meeting again March 14 in the same building for the Big East Tournament championship. They're basically all the Big East has.

Deep Thoughts, by Buzz Studley
You know you're old when more than five decades after discovering the joy of college basketball (first memory is 1974 at the Belvidere, IL, YMCA watching Notre Dame end UCLA's 88-game winning streak). ... a cameraman shows a players' parent in the crowd, and you realize you're at least 15 years older than the parent. Sigh.
