We dive into:

Big upsets and teams shaking up the rankings
Who’s still undefeated
Players putting up silly numbers
Who’s surging and who’s slipping as March gets closer

We also play “How Far Back Is Too Far Back?” — breaking down what a team really needs to be ranked to still have a legit shot at making the Iowa State Tournament.
