Updated top 25 for Dec 5
We all saw Michigan State dropping one at home to North Carolina, right? This makes North Carolina's resume one of the toughest in the country to read. They arguably have the two best wins in the top 25 – vs Louisville, and a 14-point win at Michigan State. They also lost at home to Belmont, and couldn't take down a UAB team that was coming off a 21-point beatdown by Temple, and a struggle at home vs an awful Florida A&M team.
Now that the ACC-Big Ten Challenge has passed, we're heading into a pretty boring few days of basketball.
