1. Villanova Wildcats – The Wildcats were able to do what a lot of teams before them have failed to do, which is remain number one for more than a week.
However, they did just play DePaul and St. John’s.
Things will get tougher.
Opponents this week: @ Temple and vs. Butler.
2. Kansas Jayhawks – Who had a better week than the Jayhawks?
The answer is nobody.
I mean, who just beats two top ten teams in the same week?
It’s safe to say Kansas will be one of the favorites come March.
Opponents this week: vs. Oklahoma State and @ Kansas State.
3. Oklahoma Sooners – Last week started off great for ‘Boomer Sooner’ as they defeated arch rival Texas.
The rest is history, as they fell short against Kansas once again.
Kansas guard Devonte Graham frustrated All-American Buddy Hield for most of the night.
Opponents this week: @ Texas Tech and @ West Virginia.
4. North Carolina Tar Heels – After a sluggish win over Boston College earlier in the week, Roy’s boys responded with a big 85-64 win over Pittsburgh.
Guess who’s up next for the Heels..
Opponents this week: vs. Duke and vs. Miami.
5. Miami Hurricanes – Being able to win close games is essential during March.
This past week, the Hurricanes found out all about winning late, as they defeated Pittsburgh and Florida State by a total of four points.
Opponents this week: vs. Virginia Tech and @ North Carolina.
