| The high-flyin' Heels are perfect through 3, but see their first real challenges this week in the Bahamas. |
Two weeks down, and just like with week one, the madness isn't waiting for March. Five of Jump Around's top 25 went down in week two, including four to unranked teams.
As with every season, the end of week two brings the beginning of Feast Week, and feast we will. High profile matchups are imminent this week with tourneys that could give us Kansas vs. Marquette, Tennessee vs. Purdue, and Carolina vs. Arkansas.
While all of these top teams will be competing for tournament titles far and wide...don't worry. Duke has created their own tournament called the Blue Devil Challenge and has enlisted mighty La Salle and the Southern Indiana Screaming Eagles to join Bucknell for a slate of home games in Cameron.
Best of luck in that tourney, Devils. And congratulations on the continued "most arrogant program in America" award, being the only team in college basketball history to create their own tournament in their building. Scheyer is putting K to shame.
