Holiday Wish List for Every AP Top 25 NCAA Basketball Team in 2015-16
Even the richest kids in college basketball could use something cool in their stockings.
Something that seems so small could bring a smile to a lot of faces—and make a big difference.
Some teams need three-point shots. Others need poise. Getting particular players to shine like tinsel wouldn't be bad for a few, either.
For those currently ranked in the Associated Press Top 25, life has been pretty good so far in the 2015-16 season. But no team has it all, and everyone would like something as we're amid the holiday season—and not far from even more vital conference play.
We at Bleacher Report have put careful thought into the gifts that every current Top 25 team would like this holiday season.
25. South Carolina Gamecocks
1 of 25
Hanging on to the ball
South Carolina is ranked for the first time since 2004. It has won the first 10 games for the first time in more than 80 years.
So could the Gamecocks really ask for anything more this holiday season?
Yes—to be better at limiting turnovers.
During a recent three-game stretch, when it committed just six fewer turnovers, South Carolina still averaged 15.6 points more off turnovers per game than opponents in that span, according to an Associated Press report.
Youngsters P.J. Dozier and Chris Silva have been prone to turnovers. It's created some foul trouble.
It's also created scenarios like nearly blowing a 20-point lead to Clemson.
A little more care, and the Gamecocks could be on their way to making a lot more school history in basketball. This is a program, mind you, that also hasn't been to an NCAA tournament since 2004.
24. Utah Utes
2 of 25
Second, third and even more helpings of Lorenzo Bonam
Yes, we know absolutely this is Jakob Poeltl's team. But what might get lost a little from last weekend's New York City win against Duke was it served as a breakthrough moment for Lorenzo Bonam.
The junior guard produced an all-over-the-place (we say that in a good way) 12 points, nine assists and four blocks.
It was eerily reminiscent of the stat-stuffer games Delon Wright used to have for the Utes, before graduating into an NBA first-round draft pick. Bonam played all but one minute in what was easily his most prolific game at the Division I level after transferring from a Wyoming junior college.
His emergence at point guard would be huge for a team looking for a complementary piece to Wright. Last year, Wright was No. 1, and the 7-footer Poeltl became option 1A.
This year, the Utes are still looking for scoring—or ways to get easier baskets. Bonam's ability to have a nose for the ball—where it will be, or where it should go—will be critical moving forward, as Duke could attest.
23. Baylor Bears
3 of 25
Figure out the turnover woes
It's hard to find any team in the country in recent years that is better at finding extra chances for itself (except perhaps fellow Big 12'er West Virginia).
But Baylor's woes continue to be turnovers. It gives up a lot of free chances, too, which somewhat minimizes the second and third chances it grabs.
The Bears are coming off an absolute shellacking handed to them by Texas A&M. Scott Drew's team had 16 turnovers that led to 25 Aggies points (10 more than BU converted on steals).
It's a middle-of-the-pack team nationally at taking care of the ball. That won't be a good thing in Big 12 play, heading to a variety of venues where turnovers can mean easy buckets and a surge in crowd noise.

22. Cincinnati Bearcats
4 of 25
More quality touches for Octavius Ellis
There's already media discussion that this is coach Mick Cronin's best team since he took over in 2006.
It could be better, though. That involves getting Ellis the ball more. He's shooting nearly 60 percent from the field (that's top-275 nationally by KenPom.com standards).
Ellis draws a ton of fouls, too, but only gets about 17 percent of his team's shot attempts—easily the lowest among the top four Bearcats contributors.
Mix that with the typically stealthy defense and toughness Cronin has been prone to preach, and UC will be even tougher to contend against.
21. Texas A&M Aggies
5 of 25
Prudent shot selection from Danuel House
Honesty comes in two forms. There's keeping defenses honest by shooting the ball from the arc. But then there's honestly understanding your own strengths and weaknesses.
Danuel House continues to hoist three-pointers, but they aren't exactly doing Texas A&M a lot of good. He's a 32 percent shooter on 80 attempts this year.
One of the SEC's best players is right below 50 percent from inside the arc. It's easy to see where his bread is buttered.
It's a tricky equation, considering House shot 40 percent from three-point range last year, a buildup after freshman and sophomore years that looked more like this one.
House controls the mood of the Aggies offense, dominating possessions and shot attempts.
Admon Gilder and D.J. Hogg are considerably better three-point threats—and they've grown considerably fast as they've started college careers.
House needs to create and also be smart about what shots he takes.
A&M just throttled Baylor. House still took nine threes, sinking four. That's a step in the right direction, percentage-wise. But still, more might mean less (attempts) with his game and what else is available.
20. George Washington Colonials
6 of 25
Continued improvement
George Washington first popped up on our radar when it defeated Virginia at home. We don't often see mid-November court storming, but this one seemed fairly deserved considering the historical impact for the Colonials.
GW will be playing from behind even in the Washington D.C. area for media attention. The Cavaliers and Maryland may be in front all year—in the polls, too.
But make no mistake—Mike Lonergan's finally got the team and chemistry he's sought since 2011 when he arrived after an undervalued tenure at Vermont.
The Colonials are off to one of their best starts in school history. Last year, GW started 7-3 but finished 22-13.
“We were in a great place last year, and we stopped getting better,” Lonergan warned, according to a postgame report from the AP's Ian Quillen after defeating Rutgers. “I think we’re more experienced, we have better leadership in that locker room. And Tyler brings a lot of that.”
Lonergan's talking about Tyler Cavanaugh, a Wake Forest transfer who is the heart of these Colonials, especially from the three-point line (48 percent).
Lonergan would like to see the team shoot the three better. But otherwise it's about learning from last year, doing everything possible to avoid a four-game losing streak in Atlantic 10 play a year ago that hounded this team when it came time for a postseason bid.
19. West Virginia
7 of 25
A sense of reality
There's a lot to like about a one-loss Mountaineers team. It's a team right at the top of the national rankings in steals, three-point shooting defense and even offensive rebounds.
But the one cause for concern heading into Big 12 play is that the level of competition is going to be ratcheted big-time.
The one WVU loss came by 16 points to Virginia at Madison Square Garden in early December. The rest of the schedule has been plastered with no-names, aside from an underwhelming San Diego State.
"I know we take bad shots, out of rhythm, off balance. We don't do a very good job of stepping into shots," coach Bob Huggins said after that UVa game.
Huggins has been fortunate that it's been a relatively deep team as far as contribution levels go. Nearly 40 percent of the available minutes go to bench players, which is 19th nationally.
It will be a team that will fight through the deep Big 12 on hustle and creating extra chances. That's nothing out of the ordinary for a Huggins-coached team.
Huggins' ongoing concern is settling for unnecessary shots.
Blowout wins and made 17-footers aren't going to be a way of life for WVU in the new year.
“We can’t keep relying on making jump shots, and we’ve got to make things happen," Huggins said after what he deemed a lackluster second-half effort against Eastern Kentucky.
18. SMU Mustangs
8 of 25
The lump-of-coal factor
We knew SMU could be really good this year. We just weren't sure how that prediction would turn when the Mustangs were made ineligible for the postseason.
It hasn't affected them at all. In fact, it may have even strengthened their focus and resolve.
So in the spirit of Santa Claus, we have to hope the Larry Brown/Tim Jankovich team continues to find motivation in being the lump of coal in other teams' NCAA tournament portfolios—perhaps keeping a team or two out of the postseason by not affording them quality wins.
Of course, in a way, SMU has become a non-factor. Losing to it is a good loss.
Teams like Tulsa, Cincinnati and Gonzaga (a Feb. 13 meeting), along with Connecticut and Memphis, will have their postseason futures in some way dictated in part by what happens when facing SMU.
That figures to be enough motivation for Nic Moore and his teammates to keep plugging along.
We sure hope so.
17. Villanova Wildcats
9 of 25
Rebounding power
You're lookin' live at Jay Wright telling us his Wildcats need help with one thing to get that extra gear that could lead to a magical March.
Last weekend in the loss at Virginia meant a 31-19 rebounding disadvantage, and Wright's group snagged just nine defensive rebounds.
It's a middle-of-the-pack group in terms of height. Senior center Daniel Ochefu has shown himself to be better at gathering his own team's misses. But the Wildcats have too many spurts where they give up extra possessions, then easy buckets, and that's been a killer.
"It's not like I look at it and say, 'Wow, we've got major problems,'" Wright said after losing to UVa. "We've got to rebound better as a team. We've got to defend better as a team. We've got to make better decisions offensively. But I think we can do that, I really do."
In its only other loss, in Hawaii against Oklahoma, Villanova was out-rebounded by eight, proving it isn't all a matter of hot shooting.
16. Louisville Cardinals
10 of 25
The gift of big men
Deng Adel only has averaged about 4.5 points and 3.5 rebounds. But Louisville needs him back.
The Cardinals needed some good holiday news, and it looks like the 6'7" freshman has returned to practice after missing more time than coach Rick Pitino originally would've figured. Adel sprained his knee about a month ago, and the UL coach once thought it might be a two-week deal, according to the Courier-Journal's Jeff Greer.
Adel is a versatile player who can play three positions along the front line. He was a starter at the beginning of the season.
His return is an even bigger deal because the Cardinals just lost Mangok Mathiang—the captain and vocal leader—to a broken foot. Don't forget that 7-footer Anas Mahmoud has also been contending with a high ankle sprain. Those are known to be tough to recover from fully during a season, similar to hamstring injuries.
It's weird how seasons work out. Last year, UL was a constant liability along the perimeter, dealing with suspension, youth and poor shooting.
This year, all of the concerns seem to be inside.
Chinanu Onuaku's foul issues are something to continue to watch, especially as Rick Pitino contends with a lack of depth.
15. Duke Blue Devils
11 of 25
Extra bodies—or at least a bigger one these days for Brandon Ingram
If one guy can afford to eat anything this holiday season, it's freshman Brandon Ingram. The lanky freshman wing has become a de facto post player, at least in the overtime loss to Utah last weekend, as the defending-champion Blue Devils have zero wiggle room on their super-thin bench.
“There are only so many lifeboats on the ship,” coach Mike Krzyzewski said after the Utah loss, when asked about Duke’s ability to play with the 190-pound Ingram inside, per Laura Keeley of the News and Observer (h/t B/R's Brian Pederson). “You don’t have a choice. So, what would be your suggestion as an alternative life boat?”
Keeley pointed out that the recent loss of Amile Jefferson to injury leaves the Dukies with one post player, period.
Even the biggest Marshall Plumlee fans couldn't have anticipated he'd play such a vital role this year. But his team was thrown into even further chaos when Plumee found foul trouble against Utah.
All hope isn't lost, though. The Blue Devils are super talented along the wings. Remember, Grayson Allen was sick while playing the Utes, who feature an incredible big man—a rare breed in this day and age—but still required an extra five minutes (though Jakob Poeltl did have a few massive blocked shots, amid foul trouble, to put Utah over the top).
Duke needs Derryck Thornton to find his game, lest he be considered an overrated recruit. And Ingram, in all seriousness, is going to have to be even more versatile for them to withstand the pressures of being such a small-in-numbers team.

14. Purdue Boilermakers
12 of 25
Learning from the Butler loss
It's one thing to play well and get back into the mix. It's quite another thing to play with expectations.
That's where Matt Painter's Boilermakers find themselves after the first loss of the season came to Butler.
Third-year captain Rapheal Davis said his team played "tight," according to the Indianapolis Star's Nathan Baird.
Purdue's come along so fast. Getting its big men to play well, the Boilermakers routinely won 11 straight games to start the season. It was a wear-down process.
But all of a sudden, get a game against an in-state team, and Purdue looked like it was playing for its life.
Added Painter from the aforementioned Baird report: "You could see that with a couple of our guys where they played tight. Should I shoot, should I not shoot? When you do end up shooting, being indecisive, you’re not going to make them. We had so many plays and so many shots out of rhythm with people."
The brutal thing about losing to Butler—despite continuing to struggle against in-state teams—was that it didn't showcase Purdue's top-ranked defense.
The Boilermakers are huge across the front line. But they let offensive woes dictate defensive energy and execution.
That's something to remember heading into Big Ten play.
13. Miami Hurricanes
13 of 25
A sense of urgency from Sheldon McClellan
Seniors should know what they're capable of and what they need to do. Miami's Sheldon McClellan needs to be reminded once in a while how historically valuable he is to the team's success.
When he scores more than 18 during his career, the Hurricanes are 10-0.
Now, sure, he scored exactly 18, and they had the one trip-up this season—a loss to Northeastern at home.
But look at it this way: McClellan is considered UM's third-most important piece, but he's a 50 percent shooter from three-point range—easily the most accurate on the team, and the 6'5" wing also shoots 62 percent from inside the arc (also best on the Hurricane's roster).
We already know that with Angel Rodriguez, Ja'Quan Newton and McClellan, the Canes boast one of the most formidable backcourts in the ACC.
McClellan just needs to remember he can—and should—do more. It's what is best for the group.

12. Kentucky Wildcats
14 of 25
Skal Labissiere finding his groove
As far as wish-list items go, they don't come much more obvious than this one.
Skal Labissiere has struggled. Coach John Calipari has tried to defuse criticism by noting "this is all new to him." He's also invited the freshman big man over for a great night's rest and breakfast.
This kind of criticism directed toward a freshman has to feel foreign in UK country, too, considering how much success the Wildcats have had in recent years.
But Labissiere is averaging fewer than 10 points and four rebounds, which is pretty absurd for a guy figured to be a sure-thing top-five NBA draft pick.
The 6'1" forward has also scored just two points in the Wildcats' last two games, against Arizona State and Ohio State.
The good news is, he at least took seven shots against OSU after being held without a rebound or a point (and only two shots taken) against ASU. Labissiere added five rebounds against the Buckeyes in the loss. So at least he broke out of his shell a little.
"We're not playing winning basketball," Calipari said after that one, not just referring to his struggling big man.
Not having Labissiere even close to his potential is certainly part of it.
11. Iowa State Cyclones
15 of 25
Finding a smooth transition for Deonte Burton
Talk about a creepy omen. Deonte Burton—a Marquette transfer—hadn't played in more than a year.
Then he gets his chance, and Iowa State lost to Northern Iowa.
But there's a much bigger picture to Burton's involvement than one game. The Cyclones will need him, now more than ever, after the loss of Naz Mitrou-Long for the season because of hip injuries. He averaged 12 points and three rebounds as a blend-in guy around a star-studded, experienced lineup. He was a shooting guard, while Burton can play either forward spot.
"You've got to figure out the rotation now, because taking Naz out and putting him in," ISU coach Steve Prohm said. "You're not dealing with the same position. You're going with different positions. You've got to figure out the best way."
Prohm noted that Burton is a work in progress with game-level conditioning. It better come fast. Mitrou-Long, even while hurting, played about 31 minutes each game. The Cyclones play what's basically a seven-man rotation.
10. Providence Friars
16 of 25
Figuring out the three-point line
This season may be a mystery to many outside Providence's locker room. Who are these Friars, who haven't been thought of so highly in the polls since 1978?
All we know is they're everything one could've predicted—and more—heading into the new year. Kris Dunn has played at a fabulous rate as a junior. Big man Ben Bentil has been even more than advertised. Fellow sophomores Rodney Bullock and Jalen Lindsey have picked up their games.
All that's missing is arc accuracy.
Providence is about equally bad shooting three-pointers and defending them. That could be a scary thought heading into Big East play.
Lindsey has by far the most attempts (60) but has made just 30 percent of them. Still, that's a reasonable percentage when compared to his peers. Dunn, for example, is at 28 percent—the one shame of his game, as it would boost his NBA appeal if he could improve this year.
Providence is shooting about 31 percent, while opponents are connecting on 36 percent of their three-point tries.
Coach Ed Cooley may love this team. But it'd be even easier to love with some better perimeter effectiveness.
9. Butler Bulldogs
17 of 25
Better days for alum Andrew Smith
There are times in segments like this when it's really about getting picky. And really thinking about what matters most.
Butler is coming off a weekend in which it handed Top 10-ranked Purdue its first loss and also climbed to No. 9 in the Associated Press poll—just one spot off its highest ranking ever.
What Butler would really want—and we want for it—is better days ahead for former player Andrew Smith, who continues to battle non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
Smith (a center on Butler's pair of Final Four teams) attended that Purdue game in Indianapolis. The Indianapolis Star's Gregg Doyel wrote a terrific piece on his presence.
Smith will continue to be an inspiration to Butler. All we can hope is he'll get to attend a lot more games.
8. Arizona Wildcats
18 of 25
A new attention to defense after the holidays
So many people make New Year's resolutions. Sean Miller hopes a continued focus on defense sticks.
It could make the Wildcats even more invincible than they seemed for large portions of the last two years, when they fell just one step short of the Final Four.
Miller said recently that no team in the country has gone through more adversity than his Wildcats.
That's meant injuries (Ray Smith is out for the year; Kaleb Tarczewski is out until early 2016 with a foot injury) and junior Elliott Pitts having trouble seeing eye-to-eye with Miller.
Even the amped-up Miller, however, has to recognize his team's come a long way in a short time. Allonzo Trier is starting to play like the freshman threat many national pundits figured. If the 6'6" forward figures out the three-point line, watch out.
But it's defense where Miller would like to see a renewed focus. It hasn't been easy to gain that cohesion and trust, considering all of the personnel changeover from last year.
There were severe lapses against UNLV, as the Arizona Daily Star's Bruce Pascoe pointed out.
It's still a group ranked No. 8 by KenPom.com's measures. For what it's worth, that is five spots below last year.
So we're being picky. We know Miller is, too, because Arizona's exceeded just about everyone's expectations. Why not keep climbing?
7. North Carolina Tar Heels
19 of 25
An attention to defense
Bleacher Report's Jason King witnessed a potty-mouthed tirade at the North Carolina bench last weekend.
He was good with it, and so were the Tar Heels and coach Roy Williams—at least at this point in history, as it led to a better attention span with defense.
“Defensively,” Williams said after a rally against UCLA, “we don’t have the lockdown defenders that we’ve had in the past. It’s got to be more of a team effort like it was tonight.”
As King added:
"What’s frustrating to Williams is that defensive performances like Saturday’s aren’t occurring on a more consistent basis. The Tar Heels were physically manhandled in a rather surprising 84-82 loss to a mediocre Texas squad in Austin on Dec. 12. Texas outscored UNC 21-7 on second-chance points while winning the rebounding battle 36-27. The Tar Heels grabbed just four offensive boards in the setback—an all-time low for a Williams-coached UNC team.
"
Former UNC star Eric Montross, who watches the games courtside as a color analyst, told King "when the defense creates their offense, that's when they're most potent."
The country's No. 2-rated KenPom.com offense could be really killer if it can find ways to get a few more easy baskets. This group has the depth and skill to do it. All it needs is the focus—and maybe a bar of soap on the sidelines if it takes some language to get there.
6. Xavier Musketeers
20 of 25
An extra foul or two for Jalen Reynolds
But seriously, Jalen Reynolds, a passionate player who has sparked a historical start for the Musketeers, has to figure out a way to make sure he's available without foul trouble.
Reynolds' game makes referees earn their money. He's drawing about 6.1 fouls per 40 minutes but also getting called for 6.5. Wow, right?
Cincinnati Enquirer writer Shannon Russell noted that the 6'10" junior is getting called for something every six minutes. That forces the Musketeers into a lot of zone, which isn't ideal for a team that can do more damage in man-to-man.
Xavier coach Chris Mack needs him to continue to evolve emotionally—he's a supercharged player, and that sometimes gets him playing a little too aggressive—and also to develop with footwork that can allow him to be impactful without it meaning his going to the bench.
5. Virginia Cavaliers
21 of 25
Continuing to realize they're built on offense
If you're not adapting in the college game, odds are you're dying. Virginia doesn't fit that problem, though, finding that it's OK to be an offensive juggernaut.
The Cavaliers have thrived, like Michigan State, in being defensive (code word: "tough") forces that have figured out ways to play within the new rules of a 30-second shot clock and bigger attention paid by referees to calling fouls, not allowing physical play.
How about these two notes: Virginia hadn't allowed 75 points at home since the 2012-13 season, yet did it against Villanova but still won (86-75) last weekend.
UVa has scored 80 six times in 10 games. It happened just 13 times in the 200 previous games, according to Steve DeShazo of the Free Lance-Star (via NCAA.com).
Anthony Gill and Malcolm Brogdon have put themselves in "player of the year" races, definitely in the ACC and arguably nationally.
Sure, UVa has seven spots to climb in the Associated Press poll. It can be better. But who would've imagined a team that lost very early in the season to George Washington would be adapting so fast?
4. Maryland Terrapins
22 of 25
Continuing to polish a Diamond (Stone)
One of the great understated relationships in college basketball right now is at Maryland. It's between a veteran who is one of Maryland's best defenders (Damonte Dodd) and a star freshman who may be putting himself in position to eek out some more minutes.
That's Diamond Stone, who is the Terrapins' go-to guy right now.
Stone has turned into the perfect piece for UM, which is chasing its best season in years.
But he can continue to get better. Really, he needs to, especially when it comes to foul trouble. Stone averages drawing 5.4 fouls per 40 minutes, which is awesome—top 320 nationally, according to KenPom.com's stats. But Stone also gets whistled for 5.4 for every 40 on the floor.
Dodd, who is also 6'11", is virtually invisible at the offensive end of the floor. So coach Mark Turgeon needs them both.
Stone is getting a big piece of the offensive pie, getting a lot of the offense to run through him and making 54 percent of his shots.
He needs Dodd to continue being a good teaching influence, though, so there's less bench time mandated by foul count.
3. Oklahoma Sooners
23 of 25
The continued development of Jordan Woodard
Being open isn't always a good thing. Jordan Woodard found himself that way often the previous two years and even at the beginning of this season.
But the 6'0" junior guard is now making teams pay for it. That, of course, bodes well for the Sooners as they venture into Big 12 play and try to clear Kansas' historical conference-title hurdle.
Woodard has now scored 53 points in the last three games, his most in a three-game stretch during his OU career.
Woodard's field-goal percentage has jumped 10 points this year.
“I just have more confidence in me shooting the ball,” Woodard said recently to reporters in Norman. “I've always been open, but I never shot it. Now, I'm shooting it, and I'm making it, so it kind of looks good.”
Woodward bottomed out with a 1-of-8 shooting misfire Nov. 29 against Wisconsin.
But he has rebounded with making nearly 50 percent of his shots over the last four games.
OU has cruised through nonconference play, and Woodward is a 50 percent shooter from three-point range and a 94 percent shooter from the foul line.
Dang right, that looks good—and will give the Sooners a chance at creating a new Big 12 king.
2. Kansas Jayhawks
24 of 25
A clear-minded Brannen Greene
You want to talk about disappointment? Try being suspended and not getting to go to Maui.
That's what happened with Brannen Greene, a sharpshooter who could be the extra gear the Jayhawks need to overcome recent March woes.
Greene has been one of those guys who have driven KU—and its fanbase—nuts. He's supertalented when he's shooting the ball but less than stellar (from outward appearances and often Bill Self's comments) with defense and attitude.
Greene was suspended five games, leading up to the Maui Invitational, when he basically came off as a me-first player ("conduct detrimental to the team" was what the suspension was called).
The good news for Greene was that the suspension was supposed to be six games. So that's something in terms of progress and getting back on Self's good side.
Greene has made six of his nine three-point attempts since his return. Also looking healthy—after hurting the end of last season, requiring hip surgery—Greene appeared to be in for a much bigger role.
Like past seasons, it's been one step forward, one step back with him.
“Let me make this real clear,” Self said after Greene's return from the benching. “We don’t need to get on the same page. He needs to get on our page. And we had several or a few good talks initially. Really good talks. And his attitude has been really good.”
With him, Kansas is even better. KU's shooting a rock-chalk solid 46 percent from three-point range, but Greene is at nearly 80 percent.
1. Michigan State Spartans
25 of 25
Making the most of missing Denzel Valentine
It's hard to find much to argue with Tom Izzo and the country's best team.
Then news came out this week that Denzel Valentine had some knee surgery. That's not good news, obviously. But it should afford the Spartans a chance to grow.
Sure, Sparty would like to see transfer guard Eron Harris and freshman forward Deyonta Davis continue to develop. This is that chance.
But otherwise, you've got to give this group credit—didn't everyone think these new rules forbidding most contact with ball-handlers would really frustrate MSU?
Instead, it's a team that is mostly physical in the best ways possible.
Against Northeastern, the Spartans reacted with violent chest bumps, and even Izzo shoved Bryn Forbes after his stealthy play.
Forbes has been a hustle-and-energy guy. There's lots of that to go around, as the Spartans have matched their best start in school history (12-0).
May we suggest more Izzo on the accordion?
