The Maryland win, combined with Paige's return, put the Heels back at no. 3. |

Still undefeated, still no good wins. The Wildcats get Oklahoma at home on Tuesday. |

Miami (FL)

I think the loss to Northeastern was a fluke rather than a sign. The win over Butler looks even better now and the 'Canes look legit. |

Butler

The Cincinnati win propels the Bulldogs back into my top twenty-five. |
| 19 |
Louisville
|
I was wrong. I thought Louisville was only winning because of their cupcake SOS. That loss to MSU was very telling - in a good way. |
