Two Top 25 Games: #4 Piit handled West virginia, 70-59, and #19 Missouri beat #17 Kansas 62-60, behind a jumper from Zaire Taylor with 1.3 seconds to go.
I like to think I'm up on all my college hoops, but where the hell did Missouri come from? Unranked last week, they enter the Top 25 this week - not at the bottom - but they jumped straight to #17 in the AP poll, and #19 in the ESPN poll. Wins last week over Texas and Baylor, and a 21-4 record will do that, though. Plus, two of those losses are to Illinois and Xavier, both tournament-bound teams. THe Tigers also boast one of the best players you've never heard of: DeMarre Carroll. The senior forward is averaging 17 points and 4 boards this season, ad led Mizzou with 22 and 7 in their victory over Kansas. Mizzou, who play the "fastest 40 minutes" of basketball, looks legit.
