Headlining: Connecticut became the fourth straight different No. 1 when they hopped to the first overall spot this week.

As Ray Holloman noted yesterday, there's a lot of parity in college basketball. The Huskies, however, look like a pretty good bet to make it two weeks in a row after paddling Louisville at Freedom Hall on Monday night

It was thinning out over the last couple weeks as Notre Dame's losses piled up. It could be rationalized as the losses were all to teams in the top-25. Things would improve after they got out of that grueling stretch. Not quite. The losing streak reached six in a row with a 93-83 loss to Cinci.

Once more, the Irish failed to play any defense of any significance. Cinci came into the game averaging just over 63 points per game in Big East play. The Bearcats had no problem scoring tonight. They did it from the outside, they did it driving to the basket. They just scored with ease. The backcourt of Deonta Vaughn and Larry Davis combined for 55 points.
