PK80 cemented them as the definite #1 until they lose. Which, unless something crazy happens, won't be until January. |

The other PK80 champ, Michigan State played an absolutely suffocating defense all weekend, holding all three opponents below 40% shooting. |

Mikal Bridges is looking every bit an early POY candidate, but they dodged their tougher Atlantis opponents. |

The current KenPom #1, showing a lot of balance in the young year. Hasn't played anyone since Kentucky. |

I kinda giggled when Greenberg said they were the best team in the SEC while Florida had Duke on the ropes, but he may have been right. |

They'll be kicking themselves about that Duke game for a while, but they have no one to blame but themselves. |

Your Maui 2017 champs, they won that game by sheer power of not-fouling. Wichita State only had 5 FTAs. |

Fell victim to the choke bug that swept its way around CBB this week. |

Opponents are shooting 40% from beyond the arc against the Tarheels, and while Sparty has a good D they missed some wide open looks. |

Quietly winning basketball games against unimpressive opponents right now, their fans are kind of distracted to be fair. |

Tough game against Xavier coming up, will be fun to watch. |

Starting to show some growth, but is short on games to show it to the nation. They still could very well win the SEC again, though. |

I really, really don't believe in this team. They'll play Miami on Wednesday, and that'll help me decide. |

You know, I didn't expect to move the Zags up this much. But they assuaged many of my concerns, and they look like a top-15 team. |

Was held to under 30% from inside the arc by Texas A&M. That's atrocious. |
