Rank | Team | Comments | Prior | |
1 | Connecticut | Only three teams stand between the Huskies and a perfect regular season. But this team is aiming for more. | 1 | |
2 | Notre Dame | Following a 81-70 victory over Duke, Notre Dame has a couple more tough tests before the regular season ends. | 2 | |
3 | South Carolina | With a massive 81-58 win at Kentucky, South Carolina is looking unbeatable. Watch out Uconn and Notre Dame. | 3 | |
4 | Stanford | Stanford clinched another Pac-12 title. Now they will get revenge against UW for their one conference loss. | 4 | |
5 | Louisville | Louisville got past Rutgers and now all eyes are on the Connecticut game to close the regular season on March 3rd. | 5 | |
6 | Baylor | Baylor has a potentially interesting game against WVU on Sunday, but they beat them on the road by 16 earlier. | 7 | |
7 | Duke | Duke will, of course, finish up the regular season looking for revenge against North Carolina. | 6 | |
8 | Maryland | The Terps wrap up the regular season against BC and VT. That should provide momentum heading to the ACC tourney. | 8 | |
9 | Penn State | Penn State a big game on Monday against Nebraska. The Big Ten title is, for all practical purposes, on the line. | 9 | |
10 | Tennessee | Tennessee can finish strong with wins over LSU and South Carolina. But that's easier said then done. | 11 | |
11 | West Virginia | West Virginia can make even more noise heading into the NCAAs if they can beat Baylor on Sunday. | 14 | |
12 | North Carolina | Maybe UNC was looking ahead to Notre Dame and Duke, but losing to Virginia Tech was not good. | 10 | |
13 | Kentucky | The Wildcats could get nothing going against South Carolina, but they did get a nice road win at Texas A&M. | 15 | |
14 | North Carolina State | North Carolina State will likely have the last chance to keep Notre Dame from going 16-0 in ACC play. | 16 | |
15 | Nebraska | If the Cornhuskers want a shot at the Big Ten title, they must defend their home floor against Penn State. | 20 | |
16 | California | The Golden Bears are on a six game winning streak and hope to make it eight against Washington State and UW. | 19 | |
17 | Texas A&M | Texas A&M needed to beat Kentucky to stay in the SEC title race, but they fell to 11-3 and two games behind USC. | 13 | |
18 | Oklahoma State | The Cowgirls had a tough time on the road, losing 77-45 at WVU and barely beating winless Texas Tech. | 12 | |
19 | Arizona State | Arizona State got back to their winning ways with home games against Colorado and Utah. | 17 | |
20 | Purdue | Purdue can end the regular season on a six game winning streak if they can get past Nebraska at home. | 21 | |
21 | Michigan State | The Spartans have three winnable games this week against Minnesota, Northwestern and Indiana. | 23 | |
22 | Dayton | Dayton won the outright A-10 title with their 82-56 victory over St. Joe's on Sunday. GW could be a tough game. | NR | |
23 | Gonzaga | Gonzaga won their lone game of the week. Next up is St. Mary's and Pacific to finish up the regular season. | 24 | |
24 | Middle Tennessee | The Blue Raiders hold a two game lead in Conference USA with just three games remaining. | NR | |
25 | LSU | Despite two losses last week and four in a row, LSU has the ability to quickly turn things around. | 18 |
