Steen’s Top 20 Men's Poll
03-06-01
The conference games are over outside
of the conference tournaments so there is not a lot to say since we
don’t know whom the top teams are playing outside of first round
games. Yes I know the Pac-10 does not have a tournament, but that is
changing soon if I am not mistaken. I have no comments for 11 thru
20 in the poll since they could end up anywhere in the Tournament
seeding depending on conference tournament play.
B-Ball Stud of the Week
Teddy Dupay, Florida: Did you see the Florida – Kentucky
game on Sunday? Florida’s Teddy Dupay was just too hot for words.
Loved that tattoo on the arm.

1 |
Stanford |
1 |
(27-1) Looking good after
handling USC and UCLA with relative ease. Arizona visits on
Thursday but even if they lose they will be a lock for a #1
seed in the Big Dance. |
|
2 |
Duke |
4 |
(26-4) An impressive win
against UNC at Chapel Hill. Should get a #1 seed. |
|
3 |
Michigan State |
2 |
(24-3) Even if they do not win
the Big Ten tournament they might still get a #1 seed. |
|
4 |
Illinois |
5 |
(23-6) The Illini must win the
Big Ten tournament to get a #1 seed and I think after two
years losing in the final they might be hungry. |
|
5 |
Florida |
6 |
(22-5) The Gators are for real
and could move up to a #1 seed in the South bracket if the
Illini or MSU tumble. |
|
6 |
North Carolina |
3 |
(23-5) UNC looked vulnerable
against Duke on Sunday. They can redeem themselves in the ACC
Tournament. |
|
7 |
Iowa State |
7 |
(25-4) An almost certain lock
as the #2 Midwest seed. |
|
8 |
Arizona |
8 |
(21-7) Wildcats face a tough
test at Stanford but a win would send a strong signal for the
Big Dance. |
|
9 |
Boston College |
11 |
(23-4) Good play in the Big
East will lock a #2 seed in the East bracket. |
|
10 |
Kansas |
12 |
(23-5) A win in the Big Twelve
Tournament should earn a #2 seed. |
