One of, if not, the hottest team in the country rn. Can beat anyone but can be trouble if they foul too much |

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 |

Losing Livers is a huge blow (and effected them) but if they get him back, MICH is well deserving of that 1 seed |
6 |

Big 12 champions riding a 6 game win streak, TEX is a fun team to watch and definitely F4 caliber |

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 |

Have looked miles better with Bouknight back, and even though they lost vs CREI, they will be a dark horse team |
