Pick of the Day #109

Oral Roberts

The Golden Eagles play Lamar tonight, and the Cardinals are one of the worst teams in a weak conference, so they won't win in their visit to Tulsa.

Liberty

The Flames just ended a 7-game losing streak over the weekend, but tonight they're facing one of the two teams ranked behind them in the conference, so they should get only their 3rd 2-game winning streak of the season.

College Basketball Rankings - 24 Feb

Arizona took back the top spot this week from Louisville after their big road win at Colorado on Saturday, which was the toughest test left on their schedule. The Cardinals were good this week as well, but their win at Cincinnati was only by a single point, 21 less than Arizona's. Here are this week's full rankings, with conference leaders in bold, at-large teams underlined, and teams that moved into or out of the tournament in italics.

Florida moved up to #1 in the AP poll, but they dropped out of the top 10 in my rankings this week, after two lackluster wins over Auburn and Ole Miss. The SEC schedule doesn't give them many chances for quality wins to boost their ranking, but they do play Kentucky again, and possibly twice if both make the tournament championship game.

North Carolina won their ninth straight game this week, by 33 points over Wake Forest, but it was win #8 in the streak that really helped them climb the rankings, when they took down Duke, who followed up their loss with a win against Syracuse, the #1 team in the AP rankings. It's looking like the Tar Heels have finally found their stride, and just at the right time.

Baylor crept into the tournament picture this week after winning their 4th straight game, and the final one was pretty impressive, winning by 13 at West Virginia, only the 4th team to beat the Mountaineers there this year. The Bears go to Texas in a couple days, and a win there would be huge for a team that is barely on the right side of the bubble.

Pick of the Day #106

Alabama A&M

The Bulldogs are hosting Alcorn State tonight, and while both are right in the middle of the conference standings, Alabama A&M has won 4 of their last 6, losing only to the top teams in the conference, so hopefully the home court advantage will hold out tonight.
