Made a
statement by handing Duke their worst loss in twelve years.

Have looked
dominant in three wins after that loss to Washington.

Dante Cunningham
has become the star of a very good Wildcats’ team.

  1. Michigan State Spartans
    What the Fuck what about the Michigan State Spartans who are ninth and are amazing and underrated they have a sick nasty guards in Kalin Lucas and Athletic Phenom Durrell Summer!!! Come on you joking me.

  2. Questionable
    State just lost to Northwestern and Penn State in the last 3 weeks. Purdue lost a couple close ones but have been hurt by injuries. Luckily tuesday they play eachother and we can see who wins this debate.
