Texas Tech at No. 8

TEXAS TECH
Chris Beard's one hell of a coach. The Red Raiders were expected to slip back after making an Elite Eight run last season, thanks in part to eventual top-15 pick Zhaire Smith and five outgoing seniors, most notably Keenan Evans. Instead, TTU is 9-0 and just knocked off Northwestern State 79-44. TTU has the No. 2-ranked defense at KenPom.com and has wins over USC and Nebraska. If it manages to beat Duke next Thursday, it's probably going to swoop into the top three of these rankings. But it's got to pull it off. Should be a fascinating battle in Manhattan.
