Northwestern (1-3) has won just once in four tries this season and the Wildcats will be one-for-five after visiting Charlottesville, Virginia. They beat Benedictine by 32, but in their other two home games the Wildcats lost to Stanford by 11 and most recently got bounced 73-67 by Brown. Virginia, arguably, is better than all of [...]

Minnesota (3-0) has a rather soft early-season schedule other than this matchup with Florida State, and the Golden Gophers are undefeated through three games.

Team Personality: Depth and athleticism. Memphis will run teams to death and make less-talented squads look like boys among men. Coach John Calipari often fields ridiculously athletic teams, and this year’s version of the Tigers is no different. Their athleticism leads to more rebounds than one would anticipate looking at the size of the team, [...]

As expected, this one came down to whose big man could stay out of foul trouble and remain on the court for the longest period of time.
