After a home loss to NC State and an unimpressive win over Wake Forest, Duke falls four notches to #21 in both polls. On the strength of its wins over Xavier and Temple,Cincinnati moves up to #14 in both polls. No other URI OOC opponents are in the rankings or getting votes.
Gonzaga with a gaudy 22-0 record is now the #1 team in both polls. While the Zags have some nice wins over Arizona and Florida, they have had no real road tests, but that will change when they play at BYU this week and at St. Mary's the following week. Both games will be on ESPN2.
The cumulative won-lost record of URI OOC opponents now stands at 151-100, a winning percentage of .602, a slight uptick from previous week.
With this week's loss at Richmond and a home win versus St. Bonaventure, the URI standing in three key rating systems worsened slightly.
