LW: 3 |
| 4 |
Duke
|
LW: 7 |
| 5 |
Xavier
|
LW: 8 |
| 6 |
Kansas
|
LW: 11. Still have questions about this team but there's no denying how impressive Monday's comeback over WVU was |
| 7 |
North Carolina
|
LW: 12. Ugh |
| 8 |
West Virginia
|
LW: 4 |
| 9 |
Clemson
|
LW: 13 |
| 10 |
Auburn
|
LW: 16. Moving them up into the top 10 doesn't reflect the week they've had, but upon further review, Auburn's got a sneaky great resume |
| 11 |
Oklahoma
|
LW: 5. Not the ideal week for the Sooners, but also not the end of the world. They played a pair of tough teams on the road |
| 12 |
Michigan State
|
LW: 10 |
| 13 |
Cincinnati
|
LW: 22. I've overlooked them for too long. This looks like a fantastic team. Can't wait until they play Wichita State |
| 14 |
Ohio State
|
LW: 23. I had questions about their non-con, but their amazing conference performance is enough to overcome those concerns for now |
| 15 |
Wichita State
|
LW: 9. Tough stretch for the Shockers. Landry Shamet is too good to put up the numbers he did against Houston. |
| 16 |
Arizona
|
LW: 14 |
| 17 |
Gonzaga
|
LW: 20 |
| 18 |
Tennessee
|
LW: 18 |
| 19 |
Seton Hall
|
LW: 15 |
| 20 |
Texas Tech
|
LW: 6. Poor performances this week that got me thinking I might've been overrating them. They played a very soft non-con |
| 21 |
Saint Mary's
|
LW: NR. Really enjoy watching this experienced St. Mary's team, especially Jock Landale. @Gonzaga was a huge win for their tourney hopes |
| 22 |
Florida
|
LW: NR. I really just have no idea with this team, they've just been bouncing in and out of my rankings. Are they good? |
| 23 |
Creighton
|
LW: 24 |
| 24 |
Kentucky
|
LW: 19. I know they had a terrible week but the games were close, and I still think there's too much talent to ignore |
| 25 |
Arizona State
|
LW: 17. Stanford's surprising everyone, so I won't penalize them too much for that loss. It's clear that ASU is more top-25 than top-5 |
