16 | Villanova | I strongly considered unranking villanova but i think that would be biased. This team is still a well-coached team that returned most minute |
17 | Seton Hall | from a sweet 16 team that arguably could have gone further had their PG not been hurt. Besides this game to the number 1 team, their losses |
18 | UConn | are close and have a win against a decent Tennessee and a rivalry win over cuse at MSG. thankfully the rest of the big east played well |
19 | Auburn | OOC, else the lack of a win in any of their 3 marquee matchups would have been potentially irrepairable for a team with april aspirations |
20 | San Francisco | Tier 5 |
21 | Houston | |
22 | Wake Forest | |
23 | Minnesota | |
24 | Providence | |
25 | Texas Tech | Texas, Kentucky, Depaul, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Loyola, WVU |
