2 Michigan State University Logo Michigan State LW: 3

8 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Logo North Carolina LW: 8
9 Gonzaga University Logo Gonzaga LW: 11

11 Texas Tech University Logo Texas Tech LW: 4. Tech's sliding a bit with three straight losses, but all three were closely contested, even without Evans at 100%.
12 University of Cincinnati Logo Cincinnati LW: 12
13 West Virginia University Logo West Virginia LW: 18. WVU has a couple of big opportunities to improve their seeding this week and hopefully gain some momentum for the conf tourney

20 University of Arizona Logo Arizona LW: 17
21 University of Rhode Island Logo URI LW: 20
22 Saint Mary's College of California Logo Saint Mary's LW: NR. Wish we could've seen this team play someone beside Gonzaga. Jock and the seniors are great, but I'm unsure of this team's ceiling
23 Texas Christian University Logo TCU LW: NR. Although losing Fisher was a blow, TCU has done nicely to take care of things at home and secure their place in the tournament
24 Creighton University Logo Creighton LW: 25
25 University of Nevada, Reno Logo Nevada LW: NR. A really fantastic season for the Wolfpack. They're gonna be the 7/8 seed that no 1/2 seed will want to play
