Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Villanova | Not a dominant game vs La Salle but a win is a win and they took care of Penn and Saint Josephs. |
2 | Kansas | Davidson rattled them in the first half but Kansas took care of business in the 2nd like their usual selves, winning by 18. |
3 | Baylor | No change, great week for them against a favorable schedule and should be another easy win next for the Bears. |
4 | UCLA | Good week for UCLA with wins over OSU by 13 and rout of UCSB. 1st in country in assists, 2nd in points. |
5 | Kentucky | Close win vs UNC after a dominant performance by Malik Monk. I think they 1 up Duke over this quality of a win, Louisville next. |
6 | Duke | Hardly any action by Duke this week. |
7 | Gonzaga | Keeping it rolling with all their team ranks equally balanced, they're a good team. Easy next couple of weeks, or should be. |
8 | Creighton | Narrow win vs a ORU team and are against ASU, Seton Hall, and NOVA next. I don't see them hanging on that much longer. |
9 | West Virginia | I'm not sure if this team is made up of humans anymore. They're tearing up the competition with an easy next couple of games. |
10 | Louisville | Cruising the past 3 games, they hit the Wildcats at the KFC Yum center next. |
11 | North Carolina | Prior to the Kentucky game, they were managing narrow wins and they couldn't keep up with the Wildcats, even with Berry. |
12 | Purdue | Great win vs Notre Dame and have looked good since the Louisville game. Next couple of games should be wins. |
13 | Butler | Amazing last 2 games against a strong Bearcats team then beating Indiana. Exciting team. |
14 | Virginia | Have looked alright last 2 games but face CAL, Louisville and FSU next. Yikes. |
15 | Indiana | I don't get this team. They look soo good against top ranked teams but when they're the "better team", it just turns around. |
16 | Wisconsin | Quiet week for the Badgers, GB win was good and great day for Hayes. Next 2 games should be in their favor. |
17 | USC | Decisive win vs Troy, and should get wins their next 3 games until the competition hits them with Oregon. |
18 | Arizona | Escaped against the Aggies and they've looked pretty good as of late. 23rd in country in points allowed. Upcoming schedule is shaky. |
19 | Oregon | Dominant last 2 games but looking ahead after Fresno, they're against UCLA and USC. :o |
20 | Saint Mary's | Great playing last 2 games and have a favorable schedule next couple of weeks until they face Gonzaga. |
21 | Florida State | Nothing much, good win vs MAN and next few games, they should be ok. |
22 | Xavier | I personally thought this team was overrated at the beginning of the season. The last few games, they've played bad.They need a quality win. |
23 | Minnesota | Good performance the last few games, all they need is a huge quality win. MSU is a start, Purdue after. |
24 | South Carolina | Very shaky the past 2 games including the Seton Hall loss. They need Thornwell or else this team is average besides Dozier. |
25 | Virginia Tech | Biggest Moves: Butler (+8) | South Carolina (-9) & Indiana (-9) |
