11. West Virginia Mountaineers

Previous Ranking: 19

Record: 18-4 (6-3 Big 12)

West Virginia is alone in third place in the Big 12 after grinding out Iowa State on the road. That was after two big wins over Kansas and Texas A&M. The Mountaineers will play host to Oklahoma State next, who have won four straight themselves.

Nathan Adrian powered WVU in the win over the Cyclones. The senior from Morgantown poured in 23 points and grabbed 11 rebounds in the victory. Leading scorer Esa Ahmad had 14 and Tarik Phillip put up 15 off the bench. West Virginia is one of the most dangerous teams in the country with their style and should avenge their stunning first-round tournament exit from last March.
