Weekly Top 10

1. Florida: Gators had a bit of an indifferent week, winning at home against Auburn and then taking Ole Miss best shot yesterday. The Auburn game was a bit concerning but they responded nicely against the Rebs yesterday. Marshall Hendserson was woofing after putting up 22 in the 1st half but then the Gators shut him out in the 2nd.

2. Wichita State: Everyone wants to poke holes in the Shockers resume because of where they play. How soon we forget they throttled Pitt last year, beat the Zags and Ohio State in the tournament. They're good.

3. Duke: They lost at Carolina but responded with a good win over Sryracuse and their idiot head coach. Jabari Parker had another Saturday highlight dunk. He's capable of carrying them to a Final 4.

4. Arizona: Good week for the Wildcats who won at two tough spots. They survived Utah in overtime and destroyed Colorado, both on the road.

5. Creighton

6. Villanova

7. Virginia: Virginia closed out Notre Dame 34-8 yesterday. They've done similar things in other games this year. In the driver's seat to win the ACC with home games against Miami and Syracuse. They also travel to Maryland.

8. Louisville: Grinded out a win at Cincinnati yesterday led by a mature performance from Russ Smith that resulted in a tweet from Dan Dakich towards me claiming Smith.

9. Syracuse: Two losses this week hurt but they're still a title contender. Winning the ACC would get a banner but it's not the one they want.

10. Wisconsin: They get the B1G spot over Michigan because I think they're the better team. Truthfully, I see a potential disaster awaiting the B1G come tourney time.

Lurking: Kansas, Michigan, North Carolina
