RankTeamReason
1 Michigan State University Logo Michigan State Still keeping up their 80.4% assist rate, glue players like Costello or Nairn will decide the fate of this squad.
2 University of Kansas Logo Kansas Top ten in true shooting percentage, but there's going to be a night when their shooting fails and Self can't make up for it in coaching.
3 University of Kentucky Logo Kentucky They're 318th in 3pt attempt rate. Their bigs will need them to expand the offense a bit as the season goes.
4 University of Oklahoma Logo Oklahoma Looked dominant against Villanova, Buddy Hield is going to be in the Wooden Award conversation, and their leading the NCAA in 3pt%
5 University of Maryland, College Park Logo Maryland Looked good in the game against UConn, 3rd in the NCAA in eFG% and are getting to the line at will.
6 Iowa State University Logo Iowa State Monte Morris 5.28 Ast/TO ratio... but the real story is how well Jameel McKay has been playing, good comeback this week.
7 Duke University Logo Duke Been away for Finals, return to action this Tuesday. Looking forward to Ingram's and Thornton's continued growth.
8 University of Virginia Logo Virginia Amazing comeback against WV much to my gambling chagrin, Anthony Gill is good at basketball, he should look into making this his career.
9 Purdue University Logo Purdue Fully on the Bandwagon... http://i.imgur.com/pjefCGz.gif
10 Xavier University Logo Xavier They excel at rebounding and getting to the line, that makes for ugly but effective basketball and cincy just found that out first hand.
11 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Logo North Carolina Honestly a tough loss to Texas on a night where Felix just wouldn't miss. Having Hicks on the court that much was their downfall.
12 University of Arizona Logo Arizona Didn't have a letdown against Fresno, and the adjustment to not having Zeus doesn't seem too harsh
13 Villanova University Logo Villanova Humbed against Oklahoma, but as documented this week by Kenpom, their shooting will get better.
14 University of Louisville Logo Louisville This team is getting some major disrespect, only a 4pt loss @MSU blemishing their resume.
15 Providence College Logo Providence Same as UL and Kansas, perfect aside from their game against MSU.
16 Baylor University Logo Baylor Win over Vandy doesn't look quite as hot, but definitely have an impressive start with the lone loss @Oregon
17 University of Miami (Florida) Logo Miami (FL) Quality beatdown of Florida, have stayed consistent early on which has been a problem for Larannaga's teams in the past.
18 Butler University Logo Butler Rolling after their humbling at the hands of Miami.
19 Southern Methodist University Logo SMU Dominated Michigan in their first test of the season. No postseason hopes, but they'll play ruiner for many.
20 George Washington University Logo GW The win over Virginia was no fluke, they played Cincinnati tight and dominated PSU and SHU
21 West Virginia University Logo West Virginia Lost focus and let Virginia control the tempo in the second half. If they can impose their will on the tempo they win.
22 Georgetown University Logo Georgetown Best three loss team in the nation, close games against two top 7 teams should only prove their talent level.
23 University of Cincinnati Logo Cincinnati Good win over GW but was outplayed at their own game against the X, Mick Cronin should be a bit worried in how they manufacture offense
24 University of Connecticut Logo UConn The end of this list was filled with multiple undeserving teams, but I'll award UConn's efforts against UM even with how inconsistent they a
25 University of California, Los Angeles Logo UCLA Another fringe inclusion, but they've got three good victories in UK, Zaga, and UNLV despite the three losses.
