| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Gonzaga
|
Gonzaga won their conference tournament to remain undefeated. There's nothing else to say - they stay here until someone takes it from them. |
| 2 |
Illinois
|
Illinois has been scorching hot, and just took out Iowa/Ohio State on back-to-back days. If anyone can beat Gonzaga, I think it's Illinois. |
| 3 |
Baylor
|
Stumbled a bit at the end by losing to a hot Ok. State squad, but they've been one of the best teams all season and look poised for a run. |
| 4 |
Michigan
|
Michigan was *this* close to beating Ohio State. They fall a few spots, and the Livers injury is concerning, but for now they deserve top 4. |
| 5 |
Alabama
|
Winning the SEC Tournament for the first time in 30 years was a great way to build momentum for the NCAAT. |
