Team hasn't gelled together; Is this a legit contender or a repeat of 2012-2013 for UK? Probably in between |
| 15 |
Duke
|
Best win over a struggling Indiana; Losses to Utah and Kentucky |
| 16 |
Cincinnati
|
Good win over George Washington and both losses are to top 15 teams |
| 17 |
GW
|
Good wins over Virginia and Seton Hall; only loss to team in front of them |
| 18 |
Purdue
|
Finally played a top 25 caliber team and lost. We will see where they end up as the level of competition increaeses. |
| 19 |
Villanova
|
No elite wins for Nova but their 2 losses are to top 5 teams |
| 20 |
SMU
|
Fairly easy schedule but have handled each game so far |
| 21 |
West Virginia
|
Still a lot to be answered about WVU since they haven't played a lot of quality games yet. That will change in Big 12 play. |
| 22 |
Texas A&M
|
Good wins over Gonzaga and Texas; 2 losses to ASU and Cuse |
| 23 |
UCLA
|
Seems to have turned a corner since getting blown out by the Jayhawks in Maui |
| 24 |
Baylor
|
No one wants to mess with Gathers on the boards but Baylor needs some others to step up and carry some of the load. |
| 25 |
Northern Iowa
|
Wins over North Carolina and Iowa St but does have some not so great losses |
