Submitted on Sunday, February 3, 2019 at 9:17PM EST
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Virginia
|
(LW: 1) 1 vs 2 (at least in my books), should be an incredible game on Saturday. |
| 2 |
Duke
|
(LW: 3) Tre Jones is an animal on defence, Shamorie Ponds who? |
| 3 |
Tennessee
|
(LW: 5) The Vols keep winning and still just waiting for that big matchup with Kentucky. |
| 4 |
Michigan
|
(LW: 2) Still clinging to a lead in the B1G; revenge game against Wisconsin on Saturday. |
| 5 |
Kentucky
|
(LW: 6) Perhaps the hottest team in basketball currently, but the schedule doesn't get any easier in the next few weeks. |
| 6 |
Michigan State
|
(LW: 4) Uh, not exactly what the Spartans expected to happen on national TV against a slumping Indiana team. |
| 7 |
Gonzaga
|
(LW: 8) Good showing on the road against BYU. This week is two home games against the best of the rest in the WCC. |
| 8 |
Marquette
|
(LW: 9) Time to put up or shut up with the Nova game this week |
| 9 |
Kansas
|
(LW: 7) It was a party on Saturday in Allen Fieldhouse, almost made me forget the loss to Texas. Almost. |
| 10 |
North Carolina
|
(LW: 13) Things are looking up for the Heels, the ACC may have a third challenger. |
| 11 |
Villanova
|
(LW: 11) The Big East still runs through Philly, but this trip to Milwaukee is a great chance to secure that. |
| 12 |
Nevada
|
(LW: 10) Ya, they did nothing wrong this week, but they're just not playing the same level of competition as everyone else. |
| 13 |
Virginia Tech
|
(LW: 14) I guess some credit should go to VT's defence for whatever the hell happened in Raleigh on Saturday. |
| 14 |
Purdue
|
(LW: 19) 6 losses be damned, this team is one of the best in the country as of late. |
| 15 |
Houston
|
(LW: 17) I think soon they'll reach Nevada, both teams have similar resumes. |
| 16 |
Iowa State
|
(LW: 20) Who's the B12 team with the best chance to unseat Kansas? I think it's still the Cyclones but OU will look to upset them on Monday. |
| 17 |
Texas Tech
|
(LW: 15) Culver's bad game, along with sloppy defence, gave KU a much needed win. The Raiders aren't out of the title race yet, though. |
| 18 |
Iowa
|
(LW: 22) Iowa's upcoming schedule is rather light (for B1G standards) so they could rise up the list in February. |
| 19 |
LSU
|
(LW: 12) Ouch, Arkansas usually struggles on the road but they still managed to knock off the Tigers in Baton Rouge. |
| 20 |
Louisville
|
(LW: 16) Louisville's next 3 opponents are slated to be ranked. No time for respite after the loss to UNC. |
| 21 |
Wisconsin
|
(LW: NR) Only 1 game out of the B1G lead, can the Badgers find the consistency to challenge for a title? |
| 22 |
Mississippi State
|
(LW: 25) LSU and UK both come to Starkville this week, a huge chance for the Bulldogs to make a statement. |
| 23 |
Florida State
|
(LW: NR) FSU has struggled to get quality wins, they have two prime opportunities this week: @Syracuse and vs Louisville |
| 24 |
Washington
|
(LW: NR) I guess there's a decent team in the Pac 12 after all. The Huskies can jump a lot higher if they survive the road trip to Arizona. |
| 25 |
Kansas State
|
(LW: NR) Just in time to host KU, the Wildcats are hoping that the B12 can be theirs. Next 5: Cincy, Syracuse, Baylor, Buffalo, Maryland |
