Essentially negated their blowout loss to kentucky with a blowout win. would be nice to see an sec tournament matchup +2 |

Duke

Tier 3 fairly large dropoff between 5 and 6, but michigan is definitely a championship contender +4 |

Kentucky

-2 |
| 8 |
Texas Tech
|
shaky game against osu but have put together a win streak that might end Kansas' reign of terror. +3 |
| 9 |
Virginia Tech
|
Duke is always a marquee win and makes VT's resume look much better +5 |
| 10 |
LSU
|
Tier 4 I think LSU will win the SEC tournament and get a 2 seed in the Tournament. Naz Reed is the truth. +2 |
| 11 |
Houston
|
Home win streak comes to an end, but it comes against a top 25 team. I still think this team can make a deep run. -4 |
| 12 |
Michigan State
|
Closs loss but to a mediocre Indiana team. Their game against Michigan saturday will indicate how legit this team is. -4 |
| 13 |
Purdue
|
Tier 5 +2 |
| 14 |
Buffalo
|
+2 |
| 15 |
Kansas
|
This team continues to stay near the top even with injuries and skeptics +2 |
| 16 |
Marquette

20+ turnovers can't happen. The villanova loss isn't that harmful but the creighton loss is. -7 |

UCF
|
Tier 7 Enormous road win against Houston, this team could have a top 4 seed with a good finish to the season +8 |
| 22 |
Nevada
|
@utah state is not a bad loss, but their home win against them is still their best win. |
| 23 |
Villanova
|
After a 3 game losing streak, they come out and knock off marquette. if they can find a 3rd scoring option, they have a chance in march NR |
| 24 |
Auburn

Big win against miss st. keeps them atop the second tier of the SEC +7 |
| 25 |
VCU

Wisconsin, Belmont, NMSU, Maryland, Miss St., Utah State, Iowa |
