RaiQuan Gray is breaking out, love the way he plays |

Arizona

tough tough tough loss to St. John's. Sean Miller's best teams have excelled on defense, and this team ain't it yet. |
| 17 |
Washington
|
+4. Washington gets no love from analytics, but I'm not sure why. They blow out bad teams, they beat Baylor, and barely lost to UT and Zags |
| 18 |
Kentucky
|
Defense isn't there yet, and perimeter dudes have looked bad. Still waiting to see that grab and go transition ability from Whitney |
| 19 |
Texas Tech

amazing that they handle Louisville and don't play well against baaaaad teams |

Michigan State
