*Rankings compiled 11/28
I feel sick to my stomach for ranking Duke #1 finally, but it had to happen. After winning their bracket with impressive comeback wins, most notably against Florida on Sunday night, you can’t dispute how talented Bagley and this Duke team are. Obviously the trailing in games is not ideal, but the resiliency is what makes this team special right now.
Towards the bottom of the rankings, we see teams like Arizona State and Texas Tech slide in after previously being unranked. Both of these teams have just been beating everyone in front of them.
As this poll was voted on Monday and Tuesday, it is now slightly outdated. The main result effecting this was Baylor’s loss to Xavier on Tuesday. Baylor had looked pretty great so far, but Xavier is still a talented team and should maybe get some more attention. Without farther ado, here is the SU25.
