Underdog Saturday

Theme of the day was underdog winners.  Straight up wins by:

• #11 Texas (+7) at #2 Kansas.   First lost at home by Kansas in 70 games.  Texas is a talented team, well coached, and will be a force in March.
• #7 Villanova (+7) at #3 Syracuse.  Tough week for the Cuse with losses to Pitt and Nova will have them dropping a few spots in the AP Top 25.
• Providence (+5) got it's first Big East win of the season at home (now 1-6) against #15 Louisville.  Louisville is a soft team and don't trust their point guards.
• Texas Tech (+4) got it's first win at home in Big 12 action against Nebraska. 
• San Francisco (+9) won against Gonzaga and has zags fans now wondering is this a tourney team? 

Some favourites did manage to cover today as #1 Ohio State, #4 Pitt, #5 Duke, #8 Connecticut, and  #9 BYU all won and covered.  Most of those games had a high sweat factor though.  Until tomorrow.... D$ Out
