1. St Johns — College Basketball is just better, with Rick Pitino near the top.
2. UConn — Danny Hurley is becoming the sport’s biggest heel, and I am here for it.
3. Creighton — Only two losses in 2025.
4. Marquette — The bench is a concern heading into March.
5. Villanova — Wooga Poplar has come a long way.
6. Xavier — Very little opportunity to move the needle the rest of the way.
7. Providence — Underrated coaching job by Kim English.
8. Georgetown — 2nd best defensive team in the league.
9. Butler — Clearly better than the last two teams, but clearly worse than the top 8.
10. DePaul — CJ Gunn is a great name for a pure scorer.
11. Seton Hall — Limping to the finish.
