Close...Wisconsin has arguably the best win in NCAA history. They are clearly the 2nd best team.

Just took the conference standings...

You know since the B10 is the greatest thing since sliced bread.

Nebraska should sneak in there somewhere. Husker basketball should really be peaking about the time they start Big Ten play.

They did just recently beat the best and most complete team in the NCAA.

Sounds about what mine would be like cept I may switch Pitt and Wisconsin, as with ND and Purdue. That might be personal bias though

Edit: Switched BYU and Duke

Who the fuck cares. A top 4 seed is all you want here. Would you like less travel, YES.

As said on ESPN.....Duke and Texas would likely travel far less as #2 seeds.

I've thought about it long and hard. If the seeds play out as they should I believe 5, maybe 6 Big Ten teams will make the Final 4.

BYU or Kansas have that 1 seed out west locked up. One of those two will get that position.

Yeah. The West as a whole sucks lately. So an Eastern team gets thrown out there.

RY dawg that's plain ignorant to have Wisconsin, Pitt, and St. John's rated that high yet leave ND off your list. You're aware that ND beat those three teams neutral, away and home respectively?

I'm pretty sure the topic says "Your new top 10."

What the hell happened to Washington? They are getting smacked at home by Washington State 80 to 69. I think the problem here is that the "W" on the Washington court isn't big enough.

Haha funny stuff. This will be their second loss to WSU (82 RPI), in addition to losses against Oregon (141), Stanford (139) and Oregon State (225) by 12. Add in a 17-9 record with only two wins over RPI top 67 teams and Washington becomes a proverbial bubble team depending on how they finish their season against UCLA and USC.

Yeah, the Huskies' only real tough out of conference opponents were UK and Michigan State out in Maui, and they lost both. After the way the Spartans have concluded the season, losing seven of 11, that doesn't help things. And UK isn't playing too hot either. I think Washington is 19-9 now, but the Huskies have lost five of nine. With the Pac-10 certainly not going to get four teams into the tournament, and Washington now sitting at third in the conference with USC playing well and closing in, it could definitely be bubble time for Lorenzo.

I like Lorenzo. I still can't believe Washington let UConn slip by them in the 2006 Sweet 16. That was the West Coast Huskies' game. Dominated UConn for 30 minutes then UConn comes all the way back and throws in a game-tying three at the buzzer, then wins in the extra session. With only George Mason left standing in their way, that Brandon Roy-led team would have went to the Final Four and challenged all comers.

All I was saying was that you shouldnt say he is ignorant for his top 10. I agree with you ND should be in the top 10.
