It has been a curse to be number one this year. Duke, UNC, Wake, and Pitt have all fallen from the top.Yet UConn took care of business at Louisville. |

They should win the Big 12 and contend for a one seed. The only question is how are they going to shape up against teams from better conferences. |

UNC is back in the top four, meaning a number one seed. Can’t wait for their showdown with Duke on the 11th. |

Their short stint at the top ended in Winston Salem. It doesn’t get easier when they travel to Clemson and face UNC in the coming weeks. |

IF DeJuan Blair is on Pitt is tough to beat, but when he’s not they aren’t the national title contender. |

Marquette is still a top the big east and should take two games this week against Depaul and South Florida. Their Achilles heal? Depth. Which is never good come tourney time. |

Their upset at Georgia Tech was shocking. Their youth showed when on their last possession they threw the ball away while inbounding. The rest is history when the Yellow Jackets nailed a last second jumper for the win. |

UConn was able to cool of the Cards handing them their first loss, but this team is still one that teams don’t want to run into. |

Can Clemson get that big win against Duke on the 4th? |

They are rolling, their next test should come against Dayton on the 11th. |

This team could make it to Detroit for the Final Four. Their next three games will be solid tests (Ohio State, Illinois and Penn State) |

Two straight home losses? Around East Lansing this is unheard of. They need Raymar Morgan back to push take on Purdue for the Big Ten Title. |

They aren’t elite as they use to be, but with Shipp and Collison they should be a factor. |

Huge win for Jay Wright’s squad over Pitt. No time to rest as the Wildcats go to Providence then face the ‘Cuse. |

Their loss at home in overtime to Kansas State was surprising could the upcoming game at Nebraska be another trip up? |

Like we thought Memphis has beat up on Conference USA opponents. A tough task lies ahead against Gonzaga.

The win over Saint Mary’s was a step in the right direction. This team has talent and could go deep in March, they just need the pieces to fit. |

Since their loss to Michigan State they have won seven straight. They aren’t as good as Texas or Oklahoma but they could do some damage. |

A team that is potentially a 3 seed should take care of business at Wisconsin-Green Bay even if it is on the road. |

They gave up 100 points to Providence. Jimmy B, whats wrong with your 2-3 zone? |

A win at Michigan State on Wednesday pulls the Gophers into a possible first place tie in the Big Ten. Kudos, Tubby Smith. |

The Illini are in the mix of the Big Ten race. Can Demetri McCamey keep up his stellar play? |

Penn State made history coming out of the Breslin Center, a place they never won before, with a win. With three scoring threats Penn State would be a tough out come tourney time. |

Could they this year’s Cinderella? Their bench goes 8 deep and their front court is formidable. |

They have fallen 2 games behind UCLA for the Pac Ten lead. They should get two wins over the Oregon teams before a home game with the Bruins. |
