Early loss will be null and void once Paige returns. |

Maryland

I like Maryland a lot, but these close wins are a little eye opening. |
| 8 |
Iowa State
|
The Cyclones look really good. The games against KU will be musts watch. |
| 9 |
Virginia

The Wahoos have the early loss to GW but it was a road game. They've taken care of business everywhere else. |
| 10 |
Purdue
|
Really impressed with the Boilermakers and their front line. Will be a tough out in March |
| 11 |
Oklahoma

Like the Sooner guards, but frontcourt worries me a little. Big XII play will be tough |
| 12 |
Vanderbilt
|
Despite loss to Kansas this team has all the pieces. |
| 13 |
Syracuse

Shocked they won the Battle 4 Atlantis but this team can shoot and defend. The Orange are back. |

Folks, XU is good. Watch them play. I'm telling you. |

Lost at the buzzer Friday night but the Canes can ball and are top 3-4 of the ACC. |
| 16 |
Arizona
|
I know Zona lost the other night, but I still like them a lot. They are much better than they've shown |
| 17 |
Providence
|
The Friars have one of the best players in the country and Cooley is a very underrated coach |
| 18 |
Texas A&M
|
A&M looked really good in Atlantis. Guard play a little shaky, but 3-5 they're really athletic and deep. |
| 19 |
Cincinnati
|
Bearcats are awesome on defense and if they find consistency with shot they'll keep climbing. |
| 20 |
California

How they lost Friday night I don't know but they have a lot of talent. |
| 21 |
Louisville
|
The Cards are being overlooked right now but they are awesome on defense and can get hot. |
| 22 |
Baylor

The Bears are bullies and athletic. The Big XII is stacked. |

Sneaky good with really good guards. |
| 24 |

This team goes 1-11 but has no superstars. |
