Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | UConn | National Champions. Hawkins is such a bucket |
2 | San Diego State | National Runner-Up |
3 | Florida Atlantic | Most wins in the country |
4 | Miami (FL) | Shoutout Coach L |
5 | Texas | Most complete Elite 8 loser. Glad they hired Terry, should be a fun program to watch develop |
6 | Creighton | That was the right call, but that game deserves overtime. I'm really gonna miss this team |
7 | Kansas State | Markquis Nowell - Mr. NYC (except for those few really bad logo pulls and passing at the end of the game when they need a bucket. s/o Lil' Baby) |
8 | Gonzaga | Losing to the national champions? Not bad. Getting absolutely run out of the gym? Bad. |
9 | UCLA | Truly believed if they were healthy, Mick Cronin is going to concerts with that net around his neck |
10 | Alabama | Brandon Miller should've really tried to put the ball in the hoop. Nate Oats also vaulting to the top of the "I'm so smart I'm dumb" power rankings |
11 | Houston | This team had all the makings and still couldn't make it happen |
12 | Xavier | Are they back for good? |
13 | Michigan State | Izzo is a phenomenal coach. But we need to slow our roll just a little with all the Minister of March talk. This was his 2nd Sweet 16 in 8 years |
14 | Arkansas | Proved to be the superior -kansas school |
15 | Tennessee | Just a gross, gross team, but they did knock out Duke |
16 | Princeton | By far the worst Sweet 16 team, but hell of a run. We love the Ivy schools around here |
17 | Kansas | Glad to hear Self is going to be okay |
18 | Duke | Will be interesting to see how this team looks year after year without the Mr. K influence |
19 | Marquette | I really want to see Shaka succeed. Hope this is the long-term right fit for him |
20 | Saint Mary's | I don't think I watched one Saint Mary's game all year, but sources told me they were good, but did not make the Sweet 16 |
21 | Baylor | Scott Drew is a good coach |
22 | TCU | Unfortunately I think Brian Dutcher passed Dixon for king of whatever they call that hairstyle |
23 | Penn State | I can't believe Andrew Funk gave Buzz Williams that WERK |
24 | Auburn | Bruce Pearl - reddest coach in the country |
25 | Fairleigh Dickinson | They deserve this one point vote |
