I thought this would be a good time to post what the resumes of the top conference teams (no, I don't know why I am including Syracuse in this list) looked like at this point in the season.
Don't expect these numbers to be exact, as rankings change from day to day, and there are some inconsistencies in using both the Net and KenPom as sources.
To misquote Mark Twain, "Reports of our demise are greatly exaggerated."
I should also point out that spin moves and lowered shoulders are not criteria the committee uses in determining the tournament field.
