A lot of movement in the Top Twenty this week. Kansas vaults upwards 7 places after beating #8 ISU and #9 OKSt. Likewise Michigan, with a big win over #3 Wisconsin and a string of solid victories since losing by only 2 to #1 Arizona. Villanova has been quietly creeping up the Top Twenty with solid wins against lesser opponents. The big losers of the week were ISU (losers of their last three games) and Wisconsin (losers of their last two).
PREDICTIONS
#24 Baylor @ #6 Kansas: Kansas +12
Baylor is #41 in the PM's rankings.
#22 Kansas State @ Texas: Texas +2
Texas
can follow up the nice win over ISU with a win over KSU and maybe climb
into the AP rankings. (Although they have a tough test @Baylor later
in the week.)
#9 Wisconsin @ Minnesota: Minnesota +1
Pitino's Gophers have played 4 ranked opponents in a row. This would be a good win if they can manage it.
#10 Iowa @ #21 Michigan: Michigan +4
The PM has these teams pretty closely matched; Michigan gets the home court advantage.
Colorado @ #1 Arizona: Arizona +12
It's obligatory to include this game, but Colorado doesn't have much hope.
#21 Michigan @ #3 MSU: MSU +3.5
A
surprisingly close prediction on this game. If Michigan manages to win
both games this week, they're going to solidify as one of the best
teams in the country.
#22 Kansas State @ #16 Iowa State: Iowa State +9
Iowa State gets a chance to right their sinking ship.
TOSS-UP OF THE WEEK: Oregon St. @ WashingtonBLOWOUT OF THE WEEK: Maine @ Stony Brook (+23.5)
UPSET ALERT OF THE WEEK: Oklahoma State @ Oklahoma
