Stanford
23-0 |
The Cardinal took a huge step towards perfection with three straight wins in California. The only states left are Oregon and Washington. Can they do it? |
|
 |
St. Joseph's
24-0 |
Will St. Joseph's become the first team ever to go undefeated and not be ranked No. 1 any time during the season? If they can win six in a row come March, it won't matter. |
|
 |
Pittsburgh
24-2 |
Pitt will recieve a No. 1 seed if they win out, but winning at Providence won't be easy. |
|
 |
Duke
22-3 |
Forget losing two in a row, Duke will win out and claim a No. 1 seed with no problem at all. Everyone knows how good they are. |
|
 |
Mississippi State
21-2 |
An undefeated road record will do wonders come selection Sunday, but they still have to win at Vandy and Alabama. |
|
 |
Gonzaga
23-2 |
Zags' only two losses came against the top two teams in the country. Yes, they are for real. |
|
 |
Oklahoma State
21-3 |
You knew that a team as talented as Missouri was going to jump up and bite someone sooner or later. Good thing they host Texas. |
|
 |
Texas
20-4 |
Depth is finally starting to pay off, but will have to win in the jungle at Oklahoma State if they want anything higher than a 3 seed. |
|
 |
Connecticut
21-5 |
The best thing about college basketball is that you can always make up for a dissapointing season with a deep tournament run. This team is very capable. |
|
 |
Kentucky
19-4 |
If Kentucky finishes strong, they are a solid 2 seed. But it won't matter if the Wildcats can't find a consistent scorer. |
|
 |
Memphis
20-4 |
On the strength of 11 straight wins, Memphis has a game and a half lead in the Conference USA. Remaining schedule gets tough, as they travel to Louisville and Cincinnati. |
|
 |
Wake Forest
17-6 |
They do have six losses, but does anybody want to play Wake right now? Their confidence is soaring after three straight wins against ranked opponents, including top ranked Duke. |
|
 |
Illinois
18-5 |
After being left for dead early in the season, Illinois has came from out of nowhere with six straight wins, including a pounding of Big 10 leader Michigan State. |
|
 |
Cincinnati
18-5 |
Season finale against Memphis could very well determine the Conference USA champ. Can Cincy hold serve until then? |
|
 |
Providence
19-5 |
The Friars have put together a nice little resume, including 11 wins in their last 13 games. It would be even better if not for a clock/light inconsistency. |
|
 |
Southern Illinois
22-2 |
They probably won't receive a No. 4 seed, but with a 22-2 record, and being the 17th ranked team in the country, you have to give them at least some credit, even if they have a weak schedule. |
