Just by giving the eye test on how well the 16 teams have faired, how do you rank all 16 teams? I've got the following from #1-#16.
#1 Arizona - Coming off PAC 12 tourney with win over Oregon/UCLA. Ranked #41 on KP defensive efficient list. Great guards and big men.
#2 Kentucky - Great Coach. Great Guards. Team has a lot of tanicut and athleticism. Ranked #19 on KP defensive efficiency.
#3 UCLA - Ball. NBA run type offense. Bigs can knock down perimeter shots.
#4 Zags - #1 KP defensive efficiency. Strong guard play. Big men patient in key.
#5 Wisconsin- #17 KP defensive efficiency. Playing great at the right moment.
#6 North Carolina - Great run n' gun team, can run up scor... ( sorry rated them lower because of the lack of defense and soft interior).
#7 Kansas - Great guards. #79 KP defensive efficiency. Very worried about this team vs Purdue.
#8 Butler - Can run and be physical with any team. Only thing holding this team back are pedigree type recruits. Love how this program has been running consistent last several years with the athletes they have.

Michigan should be much higher on this list.... Their team chemistry is superb right now and their current second half shooting percentage is more than not tops of any remaining team....

UNC #6 because of lack of interior strength? that is the teams strength.. if anything they don't have the guard play/a closer to score at will down the stretch.. think UNC should be higher than Wisky easy.

I think NC has great interior presence when other teams decide to run wth them. Their stats are somewhat inflated because of missed shots when offense the play uptempo. Place them on a neutral site, with a half court game and you'll see a different game from their bigs...for example vs Virginia ( 2 bigs played mediocre)
I think if we saw Wisconsin and NC played again we would see a much different result than the 1st game.

I've always had Louisville rated lower than everyone. That is the only reason I've got them lower. If they beat Oregon, I'll move them maybe to #9-#10 on the list. Just can't see them matchup with my top 7-9 bigs.
