| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Arizona
|
+1 | Once again looked extremely scary, rebounding over USC in dominant fashion. Took care of business against the bay schools. |
| 2 |
Gonzaga
|
-1 | Had the week off as they gear up for the WCC tourney. |
| 3 |
Baylor
|
+2 | Share of B12 title. Wins over ISU and Texas. They have found their stride post-JTT loss and look great, hopefully Cryer comes back |
| 4 |
Auburn
|
0 | Steadied the ship this week. Hopefully we see another UK matchup in the SEC Tourney. |
| 5 |
Kentucky
|
+4 | Took care of business this week leading up into the SECT. |
| 6 |
Duke
|
-3 | Looked pretty awful defensively against UNC. Not sure if emotions were in play, but damn that was embarrassing. |
| 7 |
Kansas
|
-1 | Tough loss at a capable TCU team, but nice rebound wins avenging their loss against TCU and beating UT, even with Ochai playing bad |
| 8 |
Providence
|
-1 | Another tough close loss to a very strong Nova. Still, having beaten the B10 champs and winning the BE warrants a top ten place. |
| 9 |
UCLA
|
+4 | Mick finally got over the USC hump. Strong close to the season, JJJ is looking like he's rounding into form |
| 10 |
Wisconsin
|
-2 | Hyperbolic week for the badgers. Beating Purdue to win the B10, followed by losing to Nebraska. Hopefully Johnny Davis is ok |
| 11 |
Villanova
|
+4 | The season sweep of Providence is very impressive. 6th in NET, 10th in KP. |
| 12 |
Purdue
|
-2 | Unfortunate loss to Wisconsin, but were finally able to win a game in the 60's. |
| 13 |
Arkansas
|
-2 | Got too far behind too early against great Tenn team. Fighting back without their best defender showed heart though. |
| 14 |
Tennessee
|
+2 | Shot the lights out against Arkansas and picked up the nice win. |
| 15 |
Colorado State
|
+7 | The season sweep of Boise State proves this team is very legit against non-UNLV teams. Roddy makes me like them to make a deep run. |
| 16 |
Texas Tech
|
-2 | Lost 2/3 to meh teams. Barely beat Kansas State. Their offense looks pretty bad. |
| 17 |
Murray State
|
0 | 30-2. Took care of business in the OVC tournament. Congrats on punching your ticker Racers. |
| 18 |
USC
