RankTeamReason
1 Gonzaga University Logo Gonzaga Gonzaga.
2 Baylor University Logo Baylor Haven't been the same team since the COVID break but hoping they put it together again
3 University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Logo Illinois One of, if not, the hottest team in the country rn. Can beat anyone but can be trouble if they foul too much
4 Oklahoma State University Logo Oklahoma State Alongside ILL, I think they're one of the hottest teams, and because of the way they're playing RIGHT NOW, I put them above Michigan
5 University of Michigan Logo Michigan Losing Livers is a huge blow (and effected them) but if they get him back, MICH is well deserving of that 1 seed
6 University of Texas at Austin Logo Texas Big 12 champions riding a 6 game win streak, TEX is a fun team to watch and definitely F4 caliber
7 University of Iowa Logo Iowa On a nice streak of games, only losing to MICH and ILL. Need to play better D
8 West Virginia University Logo West Virginia Back to back losses to OKST and 9pt win vs TCU, things are looking shaky but they have some time to come together
9 University of Alabama Logo Alabama SEC champions and riding a 6 game win streak, solid stuff for the Crimson Tide
10 University of Arkansas Logo Arkansas Tough loss vs LSU but they're still a dangerous and sneaky team to look out for
11 Ohio State University Logo Ohio State Played a really good conference tournament, taking ILL to OT. OSU is back on the rise
12 University of Kansas Logo Kansas Unfortunate we couldn't see them play TEX but finished the season strong regardless
13 University of Houston Logo Houston 7 game win streak to end the season, although they did struggle vs MEM, they won the conference
14 Creighton University Logo Creighton Inconsistent but solid win vs UCONN before being embarassed vs GTWN
15 Villanova University Logo Villanova They aren't the same team they were but that doesn't mean they aren't good. NOVA can still shock some people with how good they can perform
16 Loyola University Chicago Logo Loyola Chicago Conference champions and a good defensive team
17 San Diego State University Logo San Diego State Haven't lost since January with a win vs USU
18 Purdue University Logo Purdue Played OSU tough but couldn't finish the job. Still a solid team
19 Texas Tech University Logo Texas Tech 3-4 to finish the season but they're capable of being a Sweet 16 team and beyond
20 Georgia Institute of Technology Logo Georgia Tech Finished season on 8 game win streak and as ACC champs. Fun team to watch
21 University of Colorado Logo Colorado Were so close to take the title, but couldn't get it done. Great win vs USC though
22 St. Bonaventure University Logo St. Bonaventure Conference champs and convincing win vs VCU
23 Florida State University Logo Florida State They've looked alright but haven't beaten anyone recently that I'm high on. Hopefully they prove me wrong
24 Brigham Young University Logo BYU Played great ball vs ZAGA but wasn't enough, look out for them to surprise people
25 University of Connecticut Logo UConn Have looked miles better with Bouknight back, and even though they lost vs CREI, they will be a dark horse team
