Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Villanova | Brunson had 31 against Temple, and the Wildcats remain perfect into the week before Christmas. No stops for the hype train. HOF is next. |
2 | Michigan State | It may have been a bit close at times but MSU kept OAK at bay. Since their loss to Duke, the Spartans have won by double digits in all games |
3 | Duke | Duke had a much needed off week since their first loss. Their defense is one issue; we'll see this week what magic K has worked. |
4 | Miami (FL) | Huell's 15 helped the Canes beat GW, and Miami is one of 4 teams remaining that are undefeated in play. Hawaii is up next this week. |
5 | Arizona State | Holder's 25 keep the Sun Devils perfect in play, and they start 10-0 for the first time in history! LONG and PAC this week keep them busy |
6 | North Carolina | Roy paid a kind tribute to late Coach Summitt, and UNC rallied to beat TENN in the big ranked game last week. WOF is up next. |
7 | Kentucky | Knox had 21, Diallo had 20, and the Cats squeaked past Virginia Tech. It's their 7th W in a row, and UCLA is up next. |
8 | Texas A&M | The Aggies dominated SAV 113-66 with Davis having a double-double before half. NKU/BUFF this week for the 9-1 team. |
9 | Wichita State | It was a tough loss to the Sooners, and Wichita State has some issues they need to work out (couldn't contain Young) before ARST next. |
10 | Xavier | Win by 2 or 32 is still a win. That's what the Musketeers have to tell themselves as they were down 22 at one point. |
11 | West Virginia | They cruised past WJ and play COPP and FOR this week. The Mountaineers remain first in the Big 12. |
12 | Kansas | Kansas barely beat Nebraska, almost dropping 3 in a row. What's happening down there in Kansas? Two games this week; let's see improvement |
13 | Gonzaga | Perkins had 20 in their win over North Dakota, and IUPU is next. |
14 | Virginia | After a WVU loss, Virginia rolls past Davidson. SAV and HAMP this week. |
15 | TCU | Horned Frogs are one of 4 perfect still in play. TXSO and WM this week keeps them busy. |
16 | Purdue | Purdue gets past Butler for second Classic win, and Purdue is still strong after some early season slips. |
17 | Seton Hall | Tough loss to Rutgers, they've got two games this week to see if any improvements can be made in their play. |
18 | Texas Tech | |
19 | Notre Dame | Losing to Indiana is never fun. DART is up next. |
20 | Baylor | |
21 | Florida State | A very close but disappointing loss against OKST. The Seminoles need to stay strong this week in their two games. |
22 | Florida | |
23 | Tennessee | A tough loss to UNC |
24 | Cincinnati | |
25 | Arizona |
