NCAA Power 16: Feb. 26th

Power 16
Record
Comment
1. Connecticut
26-2
Handing
Marquette their 1st home loss of the year is enough to reclaim the top
spot.
2. Oklahoma
25-3
Giving
them the benefit of the doubt since Blake totaled 11 minutes in two
losses.
3. North Carolina
24-3
Looked
dominant at times against MD but lacked the focus to close it out.
4. Pittsburgh
25-2
The
curse of the No.1 strikes again – Fields is 6-24 from the field
in his last three.
5. Memphis
24-3
Have won 18 in a row and look for #19 against a tough UAB team tonight.
6. Louisville
22-5
The Hoyas did
not bring the must-win attitude that they needed against the Cards.
7. Duke
23-5
Beat a Maryland team that just beat UNC. Chain rule? Not quite.
8. Kansas
23-5
The defending
champs go as Sherron Collins goes.
9. Missouri
24-4
Seven wins in
a row leading up to a rematch with KU on 3/1.
10. Clemson
22-5
Lax perimeter D the reason they lost to the Hokies, giving up 11-9 from
three.
11. Marquette
23-5
Losing to UCONN was tough to swallow,
but losing James hurts a lot more.
12. Arizona
St.
21-5
Winners of
five in a row face off against the leaders of the Pac-10 tonight.
13. Purdue
21-6
They’ve
won without Hummel, who’s totaled 16 points in his last three games.
14. Michigan St.
22-5
The stingy Spartan
D has given up 60 or more only twice in their last eight.
15. Washington
20-7
2 headed PG
tandem of Thomas and Dentmon have their eyes on Pac-Ten title.
16. Wake Forest
20-5
A
win over NC St. puts them back on track.

Honorable Mentions

Villanova (23-5) A two-point win over DePaul might as well be a loss, right?

Dayton (23-5) – Two losses in a row after making the Power 16.

Xavier (22-5) – Have lost three of their last five.
