There’s a new No. 1 team in men’s college basketball this week and it’s the team I loathe the most, the Duke Floppers Blue Devils. The good things is out UConn Huskies basketball team moved up to the No. 2 spot in the land after an impressive win over Notre Dame on Saturday night. Some thought that win might propel them to the top spot but Duke’s thrashing of Maryland was just a little more impressive.
