Who's number 1? Right now no one wants to lay claim to the top spot so it seems. Hasheem Thabeet, or the stick down low has his team back up to number one at the moment.

Dejaun Blair of Pitt showed us what Thabeet is made of when it comes to guarding bigger centers. He out-rebounded, scored, and made the 7 footer look silly. Most importantly he moved them from number one.

North Carolina is back up to number 2. They play in so many run away games that it comes as a shock when they drop the ball against Maryland. Its losses like these they need to avoid to have a deep tourney run.

Duke and Wake Forest had their share of the spotlight before quickly being dismissed to the back of the back. While each showed great promise, the also went on a slide, and at a costly time.

The consistent Sooners of Oklahoma are a team I really like to be there at the end of March. Just be glad Bob Stoops is the football coach. Blake Griffin is about as fearless as they come, and he is a wrecking ball on both ends of the court.

To get to the Final Four this year, i don't think your going to have to look outside of the top eight as they stand right now. North Carolina, Oklahoma, Pitt, Memphis, are the teams I look to be there.

1. Seed UNC, 1. Seed Oklahoma,1. Seed Pitt, and 2. Seed Memphis.

They have everything you need to get there. A solid big man in the middle, a point that knows how to run a team and minimize turnovers, NBA ready talent on each team, and senior leadership with the will to win.
