Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Michigan State | Binghampton is no world beater, but holding an opponent to under .5ppp is noteworthy. This team is hot. |
2 | Kansas | Their only loss is to my #1 MSU and while I feel their offense is lacking in creativity its hard to argue with the 15th best eFG% of 58% |
3 | Villanova | Villanova is 2nd in the NCAA taking 3s on more than half of their shots, but they're only shooting them at 30.9% good for 258th. |
4 | Kentucky | Ulis was clearly not 100% and Lee missed most of the game, not to mention first true road game. Still not shooting enough 3s. |
5 | Oklahoma | Rebounding at the 20th best % and shooting the third highest percent from three, a deadly combo. |
6 | Iowa State | Your weekly reminder that Monte Morris has a 5.23 assist to turnover ration. |
7 | Duke | With Brandon Ingram finally getting going this team is scary. Defense lacking, but rebounding, shooting and ball protection are elite. |
8 | North Carolina | Meeks looks svelte and powerful, and Paige being back adds a spark, but they need a consistent effort from Brice Johnson. |
9 | Maryland | Somehow hung around with UNC through their flurry of TOs, at one point they were getting over 2 ppp in the second half. |
10 | Virginia | Defense is missing a rim protector, but this team is still the same uVA slogging out games & protecting the ball at the NCAAs 2nd best clip |
11 | Purdue | Haas is performing exceptionally. The defense is allowing .29 ppp less with him on the court, at .67ppp |
