Weiss’ Weekly Watch

Gonzaga that was selected No. 1 seed in the West by the NCAA Selection committee moved up a spot in my poll this week after crushing WCC rival St. Mary’s 94-46 Saturday.

But it wasn’t all good news for the Zags. Starting 6-10 forward Killian Tillie from France did not play against the Gaels and is out indefinitely after suffering a torn ligament in his right foot earlier in the week against San Francisco. He missed the first two months of the season with a foot injury and has played just nine games.

This year college basketball has been continuing to be unpredictable with four teams seeded by the NCAA mid-season Top 16, Virginia (1), Iowa State (4), Wisconsin (4) and Louisville (4),  all lost over the weekend.

1. Tennessee (22-1)
2. Duke (21-2)
3. Gonzaga (24-2)
4. Kentucky (20-3)
5. Virginia (20-2)
6. Michigan (22-2)
7. North Carolina (19-4)
8. Houston (23-1)
9. Michigan State (19-5)
10. Marquette (20-4)
11. Purdue (17-6)
12. Nevada (23-1)
13. Villanova (19-5)
14. Kansas State (18-5)
15. Kansas (18-6)
16. LSU (19-4)
17. Louisville (17-7)
18. Wisconsin (17-7)
19. Florida State (18-5)
20. Texas Tech (19-5)
21. Virginia Tech (18-5)
22. Iowa (19-5)
23. Iowa State (18-6)
24. Washington (19-5)
25. Cincinnati  (20-4)
