Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Oklahoma | LW 3 - http://www.soonersports.com/fls/31000/projects/14mbb-hield/images/love-mobile.jpg |
2 | Michigan State | LW 1 - Technically fell a spot, but I've always been higher on Oklahoma. I think Buddy Hield has more around him than Denzel |
3 | Iowa State | LW 4 - The fightback down 20 with 12 to go, and 8 with 2 to go spoke volumes about that team and Hilton Magic |
4 | Kansas | LW 5 - Just doing their thing. I wonder how the MSU game with Cheick would have gone... |
5 | Villanova | LW 2 - The huge margin against (1) Oklahoma was more a result of a very foolish negative feedback loop than actually being a terrible team. |
6 | Kentucky | LW 6 - Maybe the best backcourt in America? Still not sure, but it seems like it's getting there |
7 | Maryland | LW 8 - That was a good win over UConn. Sheed is looking really good so far |
8 | Virginia | LW 10 - That was both really good & really bad for Virginia - it shows how great with Perrantes they can be, but how confused they look w/o |
9 | Arizona | LW 9 - A 36 point win over a "P5" conference has to be worth...well...something, right? |
10 | Xavier | LW 14 - Hahahahah damn Xavier you scurry. |
11 | Duke | LW 11 - I think they've been #11 in my poll all year, and for some reason I just can't see any reason to move them up yet. |
12 | North Carolina | LW 7 - UNC fans salty at refs after the ACCCG and that final call @Texas has been an...interesting...twist on how Tobacco Road usually works |
13 | Purdue | LW 12 - I know they moved down, but I honestly can't figure out how exactly that happened. They're quite fucking good, don't take me wrong. |
14 | SMU | LW 15 - Coach Brown is the COY for how he's getting a team with no postseason to play some high quality ball. |
15 | Providence | LW 25 - I've been sleeping on them for too long - only warning sign is that the depth isn't quite there to handle Dunn-less games... |
16 | Cincinnati | LW 13 - Mick Cronin should probably be able to coax some more out of this team come conference play |
17 | Baylor | LW 18 - Yeah they lost to Oregon, so why are they higher? Because...uhhh...shuttup. Huge fan of Prince, though. Everything about him! |
18 | Louisville | LW 19 - Looked good in a loss to MSU, and shaping up to be a better-than-anticipated UK-UL game in a few weeks' time |
19 | Miami (FL) | LW 23 - Bouncing back strongly from a very very weird loss |
20 | Gonzaga | LW 17 - This team is aggrevating, part 1 |
21 | Vanderbilt | LW 16 - This team is aggrevating, part 2 |
22 | Oregon | LW 20 - I need to watch more UO games, honestly. |
23 | West Virginia | LW 24 - Press Virginia had a strong showing against UVa, but they're not quite there yet. Still played enough to warrant a bump up |
24 | Butler | LW UR - A strong team with a strong loss to Miami where they looked better than the margin. Should probably be higher, and I'll rectify that |
25 | Texas A&M | LW 22 - Still not sure how to feel about this team. Some of the wins are losing luster, but the team still seems quite good |
