4 Duke University Logo Duke
5 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Logo North Carolina

10 Butler University Logo Butler
11 Creighton University Logo Creighton
12 University of Louisville Logo Louisville
13 Saint Mary's College of California Logo Saint Mary's

15 West Virginia University Logo West Virginia Solid win at Virginia. They're better than I expected at this point in the season.
16 Indiana University Bloomington Logo Indiana
17 University of Oregon Logo Oregon
18 University of Virginia Logo Virginia Someone needs to step up for UVA. Gill and Brogdon meant more than most people thought.
19 Iowa State University Logo Iowa State Fell 7 spots in my poll, which might be kind of harsh for a one point OT loss to a ranked team.
20 University of Wisconsin-Madison Logo Wisconsin No bad losses, but also no big wins. Best W is at home by 17 vs. my #24.
21 University of Cincinnati Logo Cincinnati Hard to rank them below Iowa State, but they caught Iowa State on a cold night. ISU wins that 9 times out of 10.
22 University of Florida Logo Florida
23 University of Arizona Logo Arizona
24 Syracuse University Logo Syracuse
25 University of Notre Dame Logo Notre Dame Undefeated but their best win is by four points to a team that probably won't make the tournament.
