WHO'S UP?

No. 10 Xavier (23-4, 11-1 Atlantic 10) The Atlantic 10 powerhouse has a nine-game winning streak and could do damage in the NCAA tournament.

WHO'S DOWN?

No. 5 Duke (22-3, 10-2 ACC) Losses to unranked Miami and Wake Forest exposed Duke's defensive vulnerability.

Arizona State (16-9, 6-7 Pac-10) Last week's victories over No. 9 Stanford and Arizona were followed by losses to California and No. 17 Washington State.

WHAT TO WATCH

Today, No. 16 Drake (23-3, 14-2 MVC) at No. 8 Butler (25-2, 14-2 Horizon League), 4 p.m., ESPN2

Are they really midmajors when they're ranked this high?

Today, No. 15 Indiana (22-4, 11-2 Big Ten) at Northwestern (7-17, 0-13 Big Ten), 7 p.m., Big Ten Network
