PrintSo, which was most ignominious?
Alabama suspending four of its five starters and subsequently losing a winnable road game at LSU?
Southern Illinois allowing Indiana State to shoot an NCAA-record 12 of 12 3-pointers? Holy Toledo, that's bad.
West Virginia losing its second straight home game, and fifth game out of six, to drop further onto the bubble after a promising start? The Big East is giving it to the Mountaineers without lube on their way out, I swear.
No, the honor probably has to go to woeful Oklahoma, riding a four-game losing streak (and six of their last seven) and fresh off an embarrassing, 18-point slumpbuster loss to previously winless Texas Tech.
But there's always a silver lining. Big ups to Loyola Chicago, which after 13 straight losses finally won its first Horizon League game under first-year coach Porter Moser. It's about damn time.

RPI of 53, and yet still considered in by a lot of people? Win loss isn't bad, but that one win over MU sure must carry some weight.
"If you don't want to work, become a reporter. That awful power, the public opinion of the nation, was created by a horde of self-complacent simpletons who failed at ditch digging and shoemaking and fetched up journalism on their way to the poorhouse." - Mark Twain
BOYCOTT ESPN!
The real anchors are the two losses to OU.
Ouch.
The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather in a lack of will. - Vince Lombardi
It does.
Also, our RPI has jumped up more than 20 spots after the Baylor win.
RPI ain’t over until all game returns are in.
