Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Kentucky | Big win over Duke |
2 | Michigan State | Win over Kansas is impressive even with Kansas missing Diallo. But wouldn't be up this high without other teams failing to impress. |
3 | Oklahoma | They've taken care of business so far. |
4 | Iowa State | See above. |
5 | Kansas | Close loss to Michigan State without Diallo doesn't warrant much of a drop. |
6 | Villanova | They've done what they had to do. |
7 | Arizona | See above. |
8 | Duke | Hard to decide where to rank them. Could be anywhere from 5-10 in my opinion. |
9 | North Carolina | Road loss to UNI drops them, but not too much since they are without Paige. |
10 | Maryland | I know people are going to call it an overreaction but two close losses at home, one to an 0-2 Rider team, is a red flag in my opinion. |
11 | Gonzaga | Played well this week, they move up two spots. |
12 | Virginia | GW played well, close road loss drops them out of top 10 but not much more. |
13 | Indiana | Took care of business. |
14 | California | ^ |
15 | Notre Dame | ^^ |
16 | Purdue | ^^^ |
17 | Miami (FL) | Demolished Utah, good win over Butler |
18 | Wichita State | Tough road loss to Tulsa means they drop but not out of Top 20.. |
19 | UConn | |
20 | Oregon | Quality wins over Baylor, Valpo |
21 | LSU | |
22 | Cincinnati | |
23 | Baylor | Road loss to Oregon drops them but not out of Top 25. |
24 | Xavier | Big road win over Michigan. |
25 | West Virginia |
