A Monday Look Back

As usual a busy Monday Show....Studs and Duds, Tiger Talk, Oscar thoughts, and some guests too…
My best of the weekend: Bruce Pearl and his Volunteers with a tremendous win over in state rival and #1 Memphis on the road Saturday night. They are now #1, though it’s hard to believe that they aren’t a unanimous #1. They got 69 of 72 1st place votes, UNC got 2 and UCLA 1, what more do you have to do if you are Tennessee????

My worst of the weekend: Kelvin Sampson and his inability to let go at Indiana, even after being fired. He left several text messages for his former players on their phones, during and after their win over Northwestern on Saturday night. Someone just needs to take his phone away for a couple of weeks. He’s got his $750K and no one will be calling him with a job offer anytime soon, so just turn off the phone....

Here’s my AP ballot for the week....

1. Tennessee
2. North Carolina
3. UCLA
4. Memphis
5. Texas
6. Kansas
7. Duke
8. Stanford
9. Xavier
10. Wisconsin
11. Georgetown
12. Indiana
13. Louisville
14. Notre Dame
15. Butler
16. Connecticut
17. Vanderbilt
18. Michigan State
19. Purdue
20. Drake
21. Marquette
22. Miami
23. Washington State
24. Virginia Commonwealth
25.  New Mexico
