Voigt is riding high after the Terps took down Princeton. Glaeser’s Hounds are down, but not out whatsoever.

Premier conferences are vying to match the Ivy League's dominance of last year, and conference play ramping up across the landscape, the stakes are higher than they have been.

Week 7 - The Golden Throne

From here on out, every game means so much more than the last. Conference play is in full swing with the A10 and the Big East joining the party, and for many the lone hope of getting a tournament bid is through their conference AQ. This will be the largest slate of games we will see all season, so no team should be feeling any fomo this week.

The carousel that is the NCAA continues to go round and round, and it is taking a big hit on how Voigt is approaching this slate of games. Glaeser is convinced Loyola is #14, and Dreiband is standing tall at the top of our pick standings. Duke enters the Thunderdome as the #1 team in the nation, and takes on Notre Dame this week to headline another critical week of conference play.
