RankTeamReason
1 Gonzaga University Logo Gonzaga 2-7 are all incredibly close, I'll try to give my reasoning for the positioning but they're practically interchangable.
2 University of Kansas Logo Kansas Kansas has the best shot to go deep in the tournament. They're talented, experienced, and have the deepest resume in the country.
3 Duke University Logo Duke None of the other top teams have multiple wins against each other besides Duke, with wins over Gonzaga and Kentucky. That's pretty good.
4 Baylor University Logo Baylor The defending national champs have shown grit by battling thru injuries, but I think they lose to their b12 counterpart more often than not.
5 University of Kentucky Logo Kentucky Their thrashing of Kansas and game against Auburn (lost TyTy) make me think Kentucky is the best team in the SEC.
6 Auburn University Logo Auburn 2nd least impressive resume of the bunch to me with wins over murray and uk, they've only lost close games away from home. 3-3 in last 6 tho
7 University of Arizona Logo Arizona Brutal loss to a Colorado team who had just lost to ASU, with their best wins being Illinois and UCLA. Undefeated at home.
8 Providence College Logo Providence
9 Texas Tech University Logo Texas Tech
10 Villanova University Logo Villanova Showed amazing fight, continuing to score against momentum on the road. A win would have been great, but I believe in this team.

19 Murray State University Logo Murray State Thrashed the 2nd best team in the OVC then almost lost to a mid-tier SEMO?? I was Murray State to the moon but now I'm not so sure.
