If Only the Transitive Property Applied to College Basketball...

Losing to Marshall a couple weeks ago must have really made Virginia Tech do some soul searching. They've responded by beating #5 Duke in Durham last week along with #1 North Carolina yesterday. The Hokies only beat the Tar Heels by 6, but they were taking them behind the woodshed at one point, leading by over 20.

It continues to amaze me how Marshall regularly beats or stays with these very talented teams (also see WVU, Memphis, and George Washington last year) but can't consistently beat even the worst teams in college basketball. Go figure.
