18. Oregon Ducks

Previously Ranked: 13

Record: 7-2

I still love Oregon’s potential to crack the Final Four, but they have lost their only games to good opponents this season (at Baylor and hosting Georgetown). Their best win to date is a 7-point victory over a crippled Connecticut team.

Some redemption could come against SEC upstart Alabama.

Tyler Dorsey, a now-healthy Dillon Brooks and Chris Boucher are all scoring just over 13.5 points per game. Those three are a big part of why I love the Ducks’ potential.

They are also getting scoring help from a healthy Dylan Ennis and inside bruiser Jordan Bell. This team will find it’s stride soon.
