Villanova and Kansas..Wow

With Marquette beating Villanova and West Virginia knocking off Kansas, both the #1 and #2 ranked teams in the country lost. From an entertainment perspective, this was a great night as Virginia beat Notre Dame tonight as well. 

Focusing on Villanova and Kansas, I think Villanova has more to be worried about than the Jayhawks do. Villanova blew a 17 point lead and couldn't do anything offensively down the stretch. Villanova settled for perimeter jumpers toward the end, and that's what allowed Marquette to get back into the game. Marquette's 1-3-1 defense stifled Villanova, and that should worry Jay Wright. 

Kansas's loss is more excusable. I mean we are used to seeing them lose in Morgantown as they've done it the last 4 years. West Virginia is always difficult to play--especially on the road. So, I'm giving Kansas more slack than Villanova tonight.
