Pick of the Day #81

Northern Iowa

The Panthers are hosting Evansville tonight, and they have yet to lose a home game this year, so the Aces shouldn't be able to keep up.

College Basketball Rankings - 17 Jan

There were three losses among last week's top 10 teams, along with a lot of close wins, so there was a lot of movement at the top this week, with only one team keeping its previous spot, and that is the #1 Arizona Wildcats, who improved to 20-0 with solid wins over Colorado at Utah, both possible tournament foes.

Creighton moved up to #5 this week, even though they are only #20 in the AP, after destroying #4 Villanova on the road by 28 points. The Bluejays have been beating good teams all year, from Xavier to Arizona State to Marquette to Georgetown, and Doug McDermott is still piling up the points despite having his worst shooting season.

Michigan just joined the top 10 as well this week after their third straight win over a top 10 team, beating Wisconsin, Iowa, and Michigan State back-to-back-to back. Even more impressive, the wins over the Badgers and Spartans were on the road, and 3 of the Wolverines' 4 losses came against teams currently in the top 11. They may be the best team in a very strong Big Ten.

Utah just moved into the top 25 after going 0-2 this week, but the losses were on the road at Arizona State and Arizona, two of the best teams in the Pac 12, and both losses came by single digits, which is always tough to do on the away from home. The Utes have to visit Colorado this week in another tough matchup.
