Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Villanova | Kind of nice to not have to shake up my top3 for a change - all three played well, and won tight games on the road in hostile environments |
2 | Virginia | |
3 | Purdue | |
4 | Michigan State | Program is facing a lot of adversity right now, but that rally in the second half over Maryland was impressive and good to see |
5 | Kansas | |
6 | Arizona | |
7 | Duke | No shame in losing to Virginia who just might be the best team in the country - but it still felt like one they should have won and blew lat |
8 | Xavier | |
9 | Cincinnati | |
10 | Auburn | The best of the SEC and they just keep winning |
11 | West Virginia | The second teir of the B12 is very hard to seperate - all seem to be on a downward slide, but still seem like they could play with anyone |
12 | Texas Tech | |
13 | Oklahoma | |
14 | Saint Mary's | |
15 | Ohio State | Can't blame them too harshly for losing a game to PSU when they shot 80% from 3 and won on a ridiculous half court buzzer beater |
16 | Tennessee | |
17 | Kansas State | They have really impressed me of late and backed it up with some great wins of late. Excited to see them get KU Monday night at home |
18 | Gonzaga | |
19 | URI | |
20 | North Carolina | |
21 | Wichita State | |
22 | Florida | Lost to a very under-rated USC team, but rebounded with a dominant win over Baylor to show that when they are on, they are very hard to beat |
23 | Kentucky | One of the more impressive wins this year in that comeback against WVU in Morgantown |
24 | Arizona State | On a downward slide, but still have a decent resume with some high quality wins that keep them in the t25 for me |
25 | Nevada | Next 5: Clemson, Boise St, Michigan, Alabama, Creighton |
