Full Court's weekly fan polls are worth reading, in part for the dissensus from better-known polls, in part for Clay's commentary.

On LSU: "So how were the Tigers going to score when Seimone graduated? It doesn't matter, because they've only given up more than 52 points once." On Stanford: "If you believe in results, there's no way this team can be ranked."

That list's going to change after tonight's big UConn-Purdue matchup (ESPN2, 7pm Eastern), the first real challenge this year's Huskies have seen.

Geno says if Houston, Thomas and Montgomery are "playing well... their confidence is going to rub off on everybody else.

"I think for us to be good enough to beat a top 10 team, those three probably all have to score in double figures."
