Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Duke | Duke is truly a show, they just showed that their biggest question mark (maturity) wasn't there |
2 | Virginia | UVA just beat UNC in their own house, a crazy night of shooting from Duke will not continue to derail UVA's ranking |
3 | Gonzaga | Continues to steamroll through the WCC |
4 | Kentucky | It's hard to balance Kentuckys week, on one hand they proved they can play w/ (and dominate) anyone, but on the other they are still mortal. |
5 | Tennessee | Losing at Rupp is one thing, but this experienced and mature Tennessee team got completely handled. |
6 | North Carolina | Losing at home sucks, but it was to an angry and elite Virginia team. |
7 | Marquette | Markus Howard is so freaking good |
8 | Michigan | Alright, Michigan is good... We all know Penn State is better than their record, and they knock off a giant at home each year. |
9 | Houston | |
10 | Michigan State | Winning in Madison is no joke, but with Nick Ward injured I'm not sure how high this team's ceiling is |
11 | Nevada | Not enough big non conference wins to move them into the top 10 to me |
12 | LSU | Winning in Rupp arena is no joke, LSU is legit. |
13 | Kansas | |
14 | Purdue | I'm not gonna act like Maryland didn't play stellar defense, but even still we were missing even the wide open shots on Saturday. |
15 | Texas Tech | |
16 | Louisville | Blowing that lead against Duke is almost as disappointing as it was impressive to have that lead in the first place, this week is a wash |
17 | Maryland | Purdue is good and Maryland made them look pretty bad. |
18 | Iowa State | A win at a rising Kansas State is big time |
19 | Villanova | St. John's is good, but Nova could've taken care of business and they didn't |
20 | Florida State | I unwisely left them out of my ranking last week |
21 | Iowa | Iowa needs to chill |
22 | Virginia Tech | |
23 | Buffalo | |
24 | Washington | |
25 | St. John's |
