Auburn
|
LW: 5. Lost at home by 1 to a surging A&M team, nothing to be ashamed of. I do have questions about this team's ceiling |
| 12 |
North Carolina
|
LW: 19. Huge win over Duke and a revenge win over State. Still, these guys aren't the Final Four teams we've seen the past couple years |
| 13 |
Gonzaga
|
LW: 16 |
| 14 |
Ohio State
|
LW: 20. @Purdue is a monster win. With respect to Bennett and Beard, Holtmann might just be coach of the year. |
| 15 |
Tennessee
|
LW: 12 |
| 16 |
Texas A&M
|
LW: NR. In the past week they won vs Kentucky and @Auburn. Their extended slump might've made people forget about how talented they are |
| 17 |
Arizona
|
LW: 18 |

URI
|
LW: 21 |
| 19 |
Saint Mary's
|
LW: 13. A loss to Zaga isn't a concern, but Jock Landale being held to 4 on just 4 shots is. Looking forward to a conf tourney rubber match |
| 20 |
West Virginia
|
LW: 14. WVU has joined Florida, Bama, and Carolina as the teams I just don't get this year. They might win or lose any given game |
| 21 |
Oklahoma
|
LW: 15. Tough losses this week, but both were forgivable. @Texas Tech on Tuesday is gonna be insane, let's see if they can sweep! |
| 22 |
Kentucky
|
LW: 17. People need to calm down about UK. No, this isn't a championship-caliber team. But their losses this week won't kill them. |
| 23 |
Creighton
|
LW: 24 |

Michigan
|
LW: 23 |
| 25 |
Florida
|
LW: NR. My favorite vexing team is back with a couple nice wins this week. Now they'll probably lose to Georgia at home |
