Cincinnati

LW: 12. What a massive revenge win @Wichita St. Still, they're not quite as battle-tested as the teams above them, with the KenPom #96 SOS |

Texas Tech
|
LW: 11 |
| 8 |
Purdue
|
LW: 7 |

Michigan
|
LW: 16. I still think Purdue is the better team, but I won't deny that Michigan looked incredible dismantling Nebraska, Purdue, and MSU |
| 10 |
Michigan State
|
LW: 2. My sense is that this team is just better on paper than they are in reality. Still a contender for the natty but not a favorite IMO |

Miami (FL)
|
LW: NR. They've been squeaking by their past few opponents, but a win is a win. Not gonna lie, I'd rather face them than UNC in the ACCT |
| 21 |
TCU
|
LW: 23 |
| 22 |
Florida
|
LW: NR. My favorite vexing team is back, coming off the best 3-game stretch they've had all season. They're my pick in the SECT |
| 23 |
Kentucky
|
LW: 19 |
| 24 |
Houston
|
LW: NR. Happy for Houston, they've wrapped up their best season in a loooong time. Definitely a threat to keep it going in the conf tourney |
| 25 |
Texas A&M
|
LW: NR. Between them, Creighton, and NC State for this last spot. Gave the nod to A&M--I still think they have a huge ceiling |
