50. Orlando Johnson (Previous Ranking: Unranked)

School: UC Santa Barbara

Year: Senior

2011-2012 Per-Game Stats: 21.4 points, 7.2 rebounds, 3.2 assists

11/22 against Portland (83-69 win): 38 minutes, 26 points, 12 rebounds, 4 assists

11/26 against San Diego State (76-75 loss): 45 minutes, 26 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 blocks, 3 turnovers

The only new addition to the Big Board this week, Orlando Johnson continued to light up the stat sheet in a variety of ways while leading the UC Santa Barbara Gauchos to an easy win over Portland and a near-victory against San Diego State. If he can improve his shooting percentages, he'll move up even higher after going nine of 21 in both of his games this past week.  

Grade: A-

49. Josiah Turner (Previous Ranking: No. 48)

School: Arizona

Year: Freshman

Position: Point guard

2011-2012 Per-Game Stats: 6.6 points, 1.8 rebounds, 1.6 assists

11/23 against San Diego State (61-57 loss): 26 minutes, 10 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist

In his one and only game of the week, Josiah Turner played his best game of the season, making four of his nine shots from the field and avoiding the dreaded turnovers. His performance wasn't enough to help lift the Arizona Wildcats to a win though. 

Grade: B

48. Royce White (Previous Ranking: No. 50)

School: Iowa State

Year: Freshman

Position: Power forward

2011-2012 Per-Game Stats: 14.0 points, 10.8 rebounds, 4.3 assists

11/22 against Northern Colorado (90-82 win): 32 minutes, 10 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal, 2 blocks, 4 turnovers

11/25 against Providence (64-54 win): 31 minutes, 5 points, 16 rebounds, 4 assists, 5 turnovers

11/26 against Rice (90-63 win): 25 minutes, 6 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal, 1 block, 2 turnovers

The freshman forward continued to impress in the third week of the season, helping lift his team to a three-win week while contributing across the board. Even if his scoring numbers aren't particularly impressive, Royce White is a monster on the glass and has proven to be quite deft at passing the ball out of the frontcourt. 

Grade: A

47. Cody Zeller (Previous Ranking: No. 49)

School: Indiana

Year: Freshman

Position: Power forward

2011-2012 Per-Game Stats:

11/21 against Gardner-Webb (73-49 win): 26 minutes, 13 points, 9 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 turnovers

11/27 against Butler (75-59 win): 33 minutes, 16 points, 8 rebounds, 3 steals, 2 blocks, 1 turnover

For the first time in his collegiate career, Cody Zeller made less than two-thirds of the shots he attempted from the field when he hit on four of his line shots against in-state rival Butler. But to help his team to a big win, the talented big man knocked down eight of his 10 charity shots and contributed across the board. 

Grade: A

46. Alex Young (Previous Ranking: No. 47)

School: IUPUI

Year: Senior

Position: Shooting guard and small forward

2011-2012 Per-Game Stats: 16.8 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.2 assists

11/23 against Ball State (69-62 loss): 25 minutes, 9 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 block, 3 turnovers

11/26 against Texas Southern (74-55 win): 31 minutes, 30 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals, 3 turnovers

It was a tale of two games for Alex Young this week. After going two-for-15 from the field against Ball State, the swingman rebounded with a 10-for-18 performance, carrying his team to a much-needed victory. 

Grade: B

45. Chris Johnson (Previous Ranking: No. 43)

School: Dayton

Year: Senior

Position: Shooting guard

2011-2012 Per-Game Stats: 11.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, 2.2 assists

11/24 against Wake Forest (80-76 win): 31 minutes, 12 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 blocks, 2 turnovers

11/25 against Fairfield (56-49 win): 23 minutes, 5 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal

11/27 against Minnesota (86-70 win): 34 minutes, 18 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals, 3 turnovers

It's always good to cap off your week with a well-rounded performance against the best team you played and come out with a double-digit win. Chris Johnson shot poorly all week but made up for it in part with three wins and production in areas other than scoring. For the first time this season though, he was outshone by the player on the Tennessee Titans who shares his name.

Grade: B 

44. Robert Sacre (Previous Ranking: No. 46)

School: Gonzaga

Year: Senior

Position: Center

2011-2012 Per-Game Stats: 17.0 points, 9.0 rebounds, 1.0 assists

11/26 against Western Michigan (78-58 win): 26 minutes, 15 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal

Another game, another efficient performance for the seven-footer. Robert Sacre didn't turn the ball over once in an easy win against Western Michigan and made over 50 percent of his shots for the third-straight game. 

Grade: A

43. John Jenkins (Previous Ranking: No. 44)

School: Vanderbilt

Year: Junior

Position: Shooting guard

2011-2012 Per-Game Stats: 20.2 points, 2.6 rebounds, 0.6 assists

11/21 against Oregon State (64-62 win): 38 minutes, 14 points, 3 rebounds, 3 turnovers

11/25 against Monmouth (95-73 win): 27 minutes, 18 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal

John Jenkins didn't stand out this past week, but he did knock down seven three-pointers over the two-game stretch and helped his Vanderbilt Commodores avoid being upset again. 

Grade: A-

42. Darius Johnson-Odom (Previous Ranking: No. 42)

School: Marquette

Year: Senior

Position: Guard

2011-2012 Per-Game Stats: 20.0 points, 2.4 rebounds, 3.6 assists

11/21 against Norfolk State (59-57 win): 34 minutes, 20 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist, 2 turnovers

Darius Johnson-Odom only had one game this past week, but he kept up his torrid scoring pace, dropping exactly 20 points against the opposition for the third straight game. I'd like to see him contribute more across the board, but he is getting wins and playing efficiently. 

Grade: B+

41. Seth Curry (Previous Ranking: No. 41)

School: Duke

Year: Junior

Position: Point guard

2011-2012 Per-Game Stats: 15.1 points, 3.3 rebounds, 3.1 assists

11/21 against Tennessee (77-67 win): 36 minutes, 17 points, 1 rebound, 4 assists, 2 steals, 3 turnovers

11/22 against Michigan (82-75 win): 34 minutes, 17 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 turnover

11/23 against Kansas (68-61 win): 36 minutes, 9 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, 3 turnovers

Seth Curry played a crucial role in all three of the Duke Blue Devils' wins this past week against quality opponents. He was especially impressive against Michigan, when he made six of his seven shots to hold off the charging Wolverines in the second half. 

Grade: A-

40. Ray McCallum (Previous Ranking: No. 32)

School: Detroit

Year: Sophomore

Position: Point guard

2011-2012 Per-Game Stats: 13.1 points, 4.4 rebounds, 3.1 assists

11/21 against George Washington (86-73 loss): 28 minutes, 11 points, 3 rebounds, 1 steal, 2 turnovers

11/22 against Bowling Green (67-61 loss): 37 minutes, 11 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, 6 turnovers

11/23 against Austin Peay (94-93 win): 40 minutes, 12 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, 5 turnovers

11/26 against Akron (81-63 loss): 27 minutes, 6 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal, 5 turnovers

Ray McCallum failed to show up over and over again throughout the past week, which saw the Detroit Titans lose three games and beat Austin Peay by only a single point. McCallum did not score more than 12 points in a game, shot efficiently only in the win against the Governors, and turned the ball over 18 times in a four-game stretch. 

Grade: C-

39. Jeffery Taylor (Previous Ranking: No. 40)

School: Vanderbilt

Year: Senior

Position: Shooting guard and small forward

2011-2012 Per-Game Stats: 15.0 points, 6.5 rebounds, 3.2 assists

11/21 against Oregon State (64-62 win): 29 minutes, 13 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals, 1 block, 3 turnovers

11/25 against Monmouth (95-73 win): 25 minutes, 16 points, 2 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal, 1 turnover

Jefferey Taylor continued to do it all against both Oregon State and Monmouth. He didn't see 30 minutes of action in either contest but still managed to put up stats in every category while helping his team to two wins. Now if only he could hit free throws. 

Grade: A-

38. William Buford (Previous Ranking: No. 39)

School: Ohio State

Year: Senior

Position: Shooting guard

2011-2012 Per-Game Stats: 17.7 points, 4.2 rebounds, 3.2 assists

11/21 against North Florida (85-50 win): 31 minutes, 13 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 turnover

11/22 against VMI (107-74 win): 23 minutes, 23 points, 3 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 turnovers

11/25 against Valparaiso (80-47 win): 37 minutes, 25 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, 1 turnover

After starting off slowly against North Florida, hitting on just four of his 13 shots, William Buford lit up the scoreboard for the rest of the week. He's now made 19 of his last 32 shots and all six of his most recent three-point attempts. 

Grade: A

37. Arnett Moultrie (Previous Ranking: No. 38)

School: Mississippi State

Year: Senior

Position: Power forward

2011-2012 Per-Game Stats: 18.8 points, 10.0 rebounds, 0.8 assists

11/21 against Louisiana-Monroe (78-63 win): Did not play

11/25 against Tennessee-Martin (76-50 win): Did not play

11/27 against North Texas (82-59 win): 30 minutes, 20 points, 9 rebounds, 1 steal, 1 block, 4 turnovers

After sitting out the first two games of the week with knee tendinitis, Arnett Moultrie returned for Mississippi State to take on the North Texas Mean Green. He didn't disappoint, hitting all 10 free throw attempts and crashing the board with a vengeance. 

Grade: B+

36. Festus Ezeli (Previous Ranking: No. 37)

School: Vanderbilt

Year: Senior

Position: Center

2011-2012 Per-Game Stats: 0.0 points, 0.0 rebounds, 0.0 assists

11/21 against Oregon State (64-62 win): Did not play

11/25 against Monmouth (95-73 win): Did not play

35. Tu Holloway (Previous Ranking: No. 36)

School: Xavier

Year: Junior

Position: Point guard

2011-2012 Per-Game Stats: 15.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, 5.7 assists 

11/25 against Georgia (70-56 win): 26 minutes, 12 points, 4 assists, 2 turnovers

Despite playing with a sore right hand, Tu Holloway played efficiently enough to blow out the Georgia Bulldogs. He always looked to be in control but didn't need to stand out on a night where the Bulldogs completely failed to show up, allowing Xavier to score the first 10 points of the first half and the second half. 

Grade: B+

34. Shabazz Napier (Previous Ranking: No. 33)

School: Connecticut

Year: Sophomore

Position: Point guard

2011-2012 Per-Game Stats: 17.9 points, 5.0 rebounds, 6.0 assists

11/24 against UNC-Asheville (73-63 win): 39 minutes, 23 points, 2 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 steals, 5 turnovers

1/25 against Central Florida (68-63 loss): 31 minutes, 4 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 7 turnovers

11/26 against Florida State (78-76 win): 43 minutes, 26 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals, 6 turnovers

In the encore to his triple-double, Shabazz Napier didn't exactly live up to expectations. Mixed in between two high-scoring performances was a two-for-seven clunker that resulted in the Connecticut Huskies' first loss of the season. Additionally, Napier turned the ball over a ridiculous 18 times in just three games. 

Grade: C

33. JaMychal Green (Previous Ranking: No. 35)

School: Alabama

Year: Senior

Position: Power forward

2011-2012 Per-Game Stats: 15.5 points, 8.0 rebounds, 1.8 assists

11/23 against Alabama A&M (82-45 win): Did not play

11/27 against VCU (72-64 win): 33 minutes, 21 points, 14 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, 2 blocks, 2 turnovers

Returning from injury against VCU, JaMychal Green put together a monstrous double-double, adding in two assists, a steal and two blocks for good measure. There was absolutely no doubt on Sunday who the best player on the court was. 

Grade: A+

32. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (Previous Ranking: No. 29)

School: Georgia

Year: Freshman

Position: Shooting guard

2011-2012 Per-Game Stats: 13.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, 0.5 assists

11/21 against California (70-46 loss): 30 minutes, 10 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 steals, 1 turnover

11/22 against Notre Dame (61-57 win): 31 minutes, 16 points, 5 rebounds, 1 steal, 3 turnovers

11/25 against Xavier (70-56 loss): 27 minutes, 14 points, 3 rebounds, 2 turnovers

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope has still scored enough points to break the double-digit barrier in every game of his collegiate career, but he only managed to keep the streak alive against California and Xavier thanks to some garbage-time minutes. K.C. did hit the go-ahead three-pointer against Notre Dame, but he was incredibly inefficient all week and failed to make a difference in either of the blowout losses. 

Grade: C

31. C.J. Leslie (Previous Ranking: No. 34)

School: N.C. State

Year: Sophomore

Position: Small forward and power forward

2011-2012 Per-Game Stats: 16.7 points, 5.7 rebounds, 1.0 assists

11/21 against Texas (77-74 win): 27 minutes, 17 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 blocks, 2 steals, 2 turnovers

 11/25 against Elon (82-67 win): 24 minutes, 13 points, 8 rebounds, 3 steals, 5 blocks, 2 turnovers

After a stat sheet-stuffing performance that allowed the Wolfpack to take down the Texas Longhorns on Monday, C.J. Leslie provided spectators with a defensive masterpiece four days later against Elon. In addition to scoring 13 points on six-for-10 shooting, Leslie blocked a ridiculous five shots and chipped in with three steals for good measure. 

Grade: A+

30. Mouphtaou Yarou (Previous Ranking: No. 31)

School: Villanova

Year: Junior

Position: Power forward and center

2011-2012 Per-Game Stats: 15.2 points, 8.0 rebounds, 0.7 assists

11/24 against UC Riverside (71-46 win): 30 minutes, 11 points, 9 rebounds, 3 steals, 1 block, 1 turnover

11/25 against Saint Louis (80-68 loss): 24 minutes, 8 points, 2 rebounds, 1 block, 1 turnover

11/27 against Santa Clara (65-64 loss): 34 minutes, 19 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 blocks, 1 turnover

Mouphtaou Yarou was alright this past week, but he didn't stand out in any particular way. With back-to-back losses to close the weekend and only two assists throughout the entire week, "alright" really is the kindest modifier I can use. 

Grade: B-

29. Le'Bryan Nash (Previous Ranking: No. 25)

School: Oklahoma State

Year: Freshman

Position: Small forward

2011-2012 Per-Game Stats: 10.4 points, 4.4 rebounds, 0.8 assists

11/23 against Stanford (82-67 loss): 27 minutes, 16 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, 1 block, 4 turnovers

11/25 against Virginia Tech (59-57 loss): 11 minutes, 1 block, 1 turnover

It was a disappointing week for the freshman, as he played fairly well in a loss against Stanford but turned the ball over four times then received only 11 minutes of playing time and missed all three of his shots from the field against Virginia Tech. 

Grade: C+

28. Mason Plumlee (Previous Ranking: No. 30)

School: Duke

Year: Junior

Position: Power forward and center

2011-2012 Per-Game Stats: 11.4 points, 10.0 rebounds, 2.1 assists

11/21 against Tennessee (77-67 win): 33 minutes, 8 points, 13 rebounds, 1 assist, 3 turnovers

11/22 against Michigan (82-75 win): 29 minutes, 6 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals, 1 block, 3 turnovers

11/23 against Kansas (68-61 win): 37 minutes, 17 points, 12 rebounds, 1 assists, 1 steal, 2 blocks, 4 turnovers

Mason Plumlee was a bit too careless with the ball this week, but he still threw down quite a few dunks and crashed the boards with ferocity during each of the Duke Blue Devils' three wins against quality opponents. 

Grade: B+

27. Maalik Wayns (Previous Ranking: No. 28)

School: Villanova

Year: Junior

Position: Point guard

2011-2012 Per-Game Stats: 20.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, 4.5 assists 

11/24 against UC Riverside (71-46 win): 35 minutes, 23 points, 1 rebound, 7 assists, 2 turnovers 

11/25 against Saint Louis (80-68 loss): 35 minutes, 29 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 5 turnovers

11/27 against Santa Clara (65-64 loss): 29 minutes, 10 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, 4 turnovers

If it weren't for the 11 turnovers, Maalik Wayns would have played a very effective week of basketball. Even though his team lost consecutive games, the blame can't really fall squarely on Wayns, who scored 29 points on 10-for-20 shooting against Saint Louis and played a fairly efficient 29 minutes against Santa Clara. 

Grade: B

26. Trevor Mbakwe (Previous Ranking: No. 24)

School: Minnesota

Year: Senior

Position: Power forward

2011-2012 Per-Game Stats: 14.0 points, 9.1 rebounds, 1.4 assists

11/21 against Mount St. Mary's (85-56 win): 25 minutes, 10 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, 1 block, 3 turnovers

11/23 against DePaul (86-85 win): 30 minutes, 16 points, 12 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals, 1 block, 3 turnovers

11/25 against Indiana State (76-69 win): 31 minutes, 9 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, 2 blocks, 2 turnovers

11/27 against Dayton (86-70 loss): 21 minutes, 9 points, 4 rebounds, 2 blocks, 4 turnovers

Trevor Mbakwe finally slowed down a little bit with back-to-back sub-par performances against Indiana State and Dayton to end the week.

Unfortunately, the big man went down with a season-ending knee injury Sunday night against Dayton and his career with the Minnesota Golden Gophers is most likely over.  

Grade: B

25. Tony Wroten (Previous Ranking: No. 23)

School: Washington

Year: Freshman

Position: Point guard and shooting guard

2011-2012 Per-Game Stats: 12.8 points, 4.2 rebounds, 3.8 assists

11/25 against Houston Baptist (88-65 win): 25 minutes, 14 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists, 6 steals, 6 turnovers

In his one game of the week against a Houston Baptist squad that ranks No. 335 of 345 teams on kenpom.com, Tony Wroten did look pretty good in his 25 minutes on the court. The freshman guard hit six of his 12 shots and recorded a ridiculous six steals. The one black spot on the record was the fact that he turned the ball over six times. 

Grade: B

24. Kris Joseph (Previous Ranking: No. 26)

School: Syracuse

Year: Senior

Position: Small forward

2011-2012 Per-Game Stats: 15.3 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists

11/23 against Virginia Tech (69-58 win): 39 minutes, 20 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals, 1 turnover

11/25 against Stanford (69-63 win): 36 minutes, 18 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists, 4 steals, 2 turnovers

The Syracuse Orange are finally realizing that they need to feed the ball to Kris Joseph as often as possible. When you get him the ball, it usually pays off. Joseph enjoyed yet another stellar week as the Orange easily handled Virginia Tech and then stormed back in the second half to take down Stanford. 

Grade: A

23. Adonis Thomas (Previous Ranking: No. 22)

School: Memphis

Year: Freshman

Position: Small forward

2011-2012 Per-Game Stats: 10.3 points, 2.5 rebounds, 0.3 assists

11/21 against Michigan (73-61 loss): 20 minutes, 5 points, 2 rebounds, 1 steal, 2 blocks

11/22 against Tennessee (99-97 win): 38 minutes, 19 points, 4 rebounds, 1 steal, 2 blocks, 2 turnovers

11/23 against Georgetown (91-88 loss): 23 minutes, 5 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist, 4 turnovers

Adonis Thomas had one great performance against Tennessee sandwiched in between two miserable games. In the win against Tennessee, the freshman went seven-for-10 from the field, but in the two losses, he hit just four of his 13 attempts. 

Grade: B

22. Patric Young (Previous Ranking: No. 21)

School: Florida

Year: Sophomore

Position: Center and power forward

2011-2012 Per-Game Stats: 10.4 points, 8.6 rebounds, 1.6 assists

11/21 against Wright State (78-65 win): 22 minutes, 5 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists

11/25 against Jacksonville (107-62 win): 24 minutes, 14 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, 3 blocks, 1 turnover

In terms of physical skills, Patric Young was just as impressive as always. I need to see him play well offensively against better teams than Jacksonville before I'm ready to fully endorse him though. 

Grade: B

21. Khris Middleton (Previous Ranking: No. 20)

School: Texas A&M

Year: Junior

Position: Small forward

2011-2012 Per-Game Stats: 6.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.0 assists

11/26 against Texas A&M-CC (56-43 win): Did not play

20. Thomas Robinson (Previous Ranking: No. 27)

School: Kansas

Year: Junior

Position: Power forward

2011-2012 Per-Game Stats: 16.0 points, 12.0 rebounds, 1.8 assists

11/21 against Georgetown (67-63 win): 35 minutes, 20 points, 12 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 blocks, 2 turnovers

11/22 against UCLA (72-56 win): 33 minutes, 15 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, 5 turnovers

11/23 against Duke (68-61 loss): 36 minutes, 16 points, 15 rebounds, 1 steal, 1 block, 1 turnover

Not too many players around the country impressed me more than Thomas Robinson did this week. The physical power forward continued his double-double streak against three strong opponents and was undeniably one of the top players in Maui. Right now, Robinson appears to be a man amongst boys. 

Grade: A+

19. Doron Lamb (Previous Ranking: No. 19)

School: Kentucky

Year: Sophomore

Position: Shooting guard

2011-2012 Per-Game Stats: 14.2 points, 4.2 rebounds, 2.8 assists

11/23 against Radford (88-40 win): 22 minutes, 10 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 turnover

11/26 against Portland (87-63 win): 27 minutes, 9 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal

Doron Lamb has put up three sub-par games in a row now. Lamb hit on only five of his 15 shots from the field this week but mitigated the damage by playing good defense and only turning the ball over once. 

Grade: B-

18. Myck Kabongo (Previous Ranking: No. 17)

School: Texas

Year: Freshman

Position: Point guard

2011-2012 Per-Game Stats: 8.4 points, 3.2 rebounds, 5.2 assists

11/21 against North Carolina State (77-74 loss): 16 minutes, 1 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, 3 turnovers

11/26 against Sam Houston State (56-40 win): 33 minutes, 4 points, 2 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 turnovers

Let's just say that it wasn't a good week for Myck Kabongo. 

Grade: C-

17. Tyler Zeller (Previous Ranking: No. 15)

School: North Carolina

Year: Senior

Position: Power forward and center

2011-2012 Per-Game Stats: 13.5 points, 7.2 rebounds, 0.3 assists

11/22 against Tennessee State (102-69 win): 27 minutes, 12 points, 7 rebounds, 2 steals, 1 block

11/25 against South Carolina (87-62 win): 20 minutes, 12 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 steals, 1 block, 1 turnover

11/26 against UNLV (90-80 loss): 24 minutes, 5 points, 7 rebounds, 1 turnover

Tyler Zeller played quite well in a blowout win over Tennessee State, but he struggled from the field against both South Carolina and UNLV. He was in foul trouble against both teams and hit only one shot in the Tar Heels' first loss of the season. 

Grade: C+

16. Terrence Ross (Previous Ranking: No. 18)

School: Washington

Year: Sophomore

Position: Shooting guard

2011-2012 Per-Game Stats: 15.8 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.4 assists

11/25 against Houston Baptist (88-65 win): 27 minutes, 13 points, 13 rebounds, 2 assists, 4 blocks, 1 turnover

With the caveat that Houston Baptist is absolutely awful, Terrence Ross had a very good performance in 27 minutes of action. He hit half of his 10 field goal attempts, pulled down 13 boards and was a menace to opposing shooters while only turning the ball over once. The only thing keeping Ross from an A+ is the fact that the opponent was Houston Baptist. 

Grade: A

15. Kendall Marshall (Previous Ranking: No. 16)

School: North Carolina

Year: Sophomore

Position: Point guard

2011-2012 Per-Game Stats: 4.8 points, 2.7 rebounds, 10.8 assists

11/22 against Tennessee State (102-69 win): 29 minutes, 5 points, 4 rebounds, 15 assists, 1 block, 4 turnovers

11/25 against South Carolina (87-62 win): 32 minutes, 4 points, 2 rebounds, 14 assists, 6 steals, 1 turnover

11/26 against UNLV (90-80 loss): 31 minutes, 7 points, 4 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 turnovers

It's very difficult to know what to make of Kendall Marshall. He's not a particularly gifted scorer and he can't play defense, but man can he pass the ball well. Back-to-back games with 14 or more assists are almost unheard of in college. 

Grade: A-

14. Perry Jones (Previous Ranking: No. 13)

School: Baylor

Year: Sophomore

Position: Power forward

2011-2012 Per-Game Stats: 0.0 points, 0.0 rebounds, 0.0 assists

11/22 against South Carolina State (70-50 win): Did not play

11/23 against Texas-Arlington (75-65 win): Did not play

13. Terrence Jones (Previous Ranking: No. 14)

School: Kentucky

Year: Sophomore

Position: Small forward and power forward

2011-2012 Per-Game Stats: 13.3 points, 7.3 rebounds, 2.2 assists

11/23 against Radford (88-40 win): 28 minutes, 17 points, 8 rebounds, 1 assist, 3 blocks, 4 turnovers

11/26 against Portland (87-63 win): 31 minutes, 19 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, 2 blocks

I'm convinced that it's Terrence Jones' goal to prove that he is the best player on the Kentucky Wildcats and not any of the talented young freshmen, even if they do have higher ceilings than the forward. Jones played quite well across the board and seemed to be the best player on the floor in both of the Wildcats' easy wins this past week. 

Grade: A

12. James Michael McAdoo (Previous Ranking: No. 10)

School: North Carolina

Year: Freshman

Position: Power forward

2011-2012 Per-Game Stats: 6.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, 0.5 assists

11/22 against Tennessee State (102-69 win): 12 minutes, 7 points, 4 rebounds, 1 steal, 1 turnover

11/25 against South Carolina (87-62 win): 19 minutes, 6 points, 1 rebound, 1 block

11/26 against UNLV (90-80 loss): 18 minutes, 6 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals

James Michael McAdoo is still not receiving many minutes for the uber-talented North Carolina Tar Heels, but he's producing when he is on the court. 

Grade: B

11. Brad Beal (Previous Ranking: No. 12)

School: Florida

Year: Freshman

Position: Shooting guard

2011-2012 Per-Game Stats: 16.0 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.8 assist

11/21 against Wright State (78-65 win): 36 minutes, 22 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, 1 block, 1 turnover

11/25 against Jacksonville (107-62 win): 32 minutes, 15 points, 9 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, 5 turnovers

Brad Beal is simply unbelievable for a freshman, even if he did have five turnovers against Jacksonville.  

Grade: A

10. Austin Rivers (Previous Ranking: No. 11)

School: Duke

Year: Freshman

Position: Shooting guard

2011-2012 Per-Game Stats: 14.4 points, 2.4 rebounds, 2.1 assists

11/21 against Tennessee (77-67 win): 31 minutes, 18 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, 2 turnovers

11/22 against Michigan (82-75 win): 36 minutes, 20 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 turnovers

11/23 against Kansas (68-61 win): 27 minutes, 10 points, 4 rebounds, 1 turnover

I'm still not entirely sure what to make of Austin Rivers quite yet. He cut back on the turnovers this week while continuing to score at an impressive clip. Rivers can get into the lane whenever he wants to—it's just a matter of controlling his aggression and making good decisions. 

Grade: A-

9. John Henson (Previous Ranking: No. 9)

School: North Carolina

Year: Junior

Position: Power forward

2011-2012 Per-Game Stats: 15.8 points, 9.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists

11/22 against Tennessee State (102-69 win): 25 minutes, 16 points, 10 rebounds, 6 assists, 4 blocks, 1 turnover

11/25 against South Carolina (87-62 win): 18 points, 8 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 block, 2 turnovers

11/26 against UNLV (90-80 loss): 31 minutes, 11 points, 8 rebounds, 1 block, 2 turnovers

John Henson played remarkably against Tennessee State and South Carolina, but he struggled with fouls and misses throughout the loss to UNLV. Henson continues to be a great shot-blocker and is still developing on offense. 

Grade: B+

8. Quincy Miller (Previous Ranking: No. 7)

School: Baylor

Year: Freshman

Position: Small forward

2011-2012 Per-Game Stats: 15.2 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists

11/22 against South Carolina State (70-50 win): 32 minutes, 5 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, 1 block, 2 turnovers

11/23 against Texas-Arlington (76-65 win): 34 minutes, 17 points, 11 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal, 3 turnovers

Quincy Miller actually fell back to earth this week, as surprising as that may be. The freshman small forward struggled throughout the contest with South Carolina but rebounded with a solid all-around performance against Texas-Arlington, even if he did go just three-for-nine from the field. 

Grade: B

7. Marquis Teague (Previous Ranking: No. 8)

School: Kentucky

Year: Freshman

Position: Point Guard

2011-2012 Per-Game Stats: 11.7 points, 2.2 rebounds, 4.0 assists

11/23 against Radford (88-40 win): 31 minutes, 13 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals, 1 block, 2 turnovers

11/26 against Portland (87-63 win): 34 minutes, 14 points, 1 rebound, 8 assists, 4 steals

This is more like what we expected from Marquis Teague. He was more involved in the offense, dished out 13 assists over two games, and finally cut back on the turnovers. If Teague can run the Kentucky offense this efficiently, the Wildcats will not be beat without an incredibly impressive performance. 

Grade: A+

6. Jeremy Lamb (Previous Ranking: No. 4)

School: Connecticut

Year: Sophomore

Position: Shooting Guard

2011-2012 Per-Game Stats: 21.1 points, 3.9 rebounds, 1.9 assists

11/24 against UNC-Asheville (73-63 win): 39 minutes, 23 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, 1 block, 3 turnovers

11/25 against Central Florida (68-63 loss): 40 minutes, 15 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 steals, 3 turnovers

11/26 against Florida State (78-76 win): 41 minutes, 19 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals, 4 turnovers

Jeremy Lamb has clearly become the workhorse for the Connecticut Huskies, playing no less than 39 minutes in any of the three games this past week. He turned the ball over a little too often and shot poorly during the loss to Central Florida, but those were the only things Lamb did poorly this week. 

Grade: B+

5. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (Previous Ranking: No. 6)

School: Kentucky

Year: Freshman

Position: Small forward

2011-2012 Per-Game Stats: 12.5 points, 7.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists

11/23 against Radford (88-40 win): 31 minutes, 15 points, 9 rebounds, 3 steals, 2 turnovers

11/26 against Portland (87-63 win): 33 minutes, 11 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, 2 blocks, 2 turnovers

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist was one of the most impressive players of the week after playing terrifically in all aspects of the game. Even though his two box scores look pretty great and well-rounded, his defensive impact can't really be quantified. 

Grade: A+

4. Andre Drummond (Previous Ranking: No. 5)

School: Connecticut

Year: Freshman

Position: Power forward and center

2011-2012 Per-Game Stats: 8.1 points, 7.0 rebounds, 0.3 assists

11/24 against UNC-Asheville (73-63 win): 22 minutes, 9 points, 5 rebounds, 1 steal, 1 block, 1 turnover

1/25 against Central Florida (68-63 loss): 34 minutes, 13 points, 9 rebounds, 4 blocks, 1 turnover

11/26 against Florida State (78-76 win): 37 minutes, 12 points, 10 rebounds, 3 steals, 6 blocks, 2 turnovers

This was the breakout week we've been expecting from Andre Drummond, even if he didn't score in bunches. The big man knocked down 15 of his 25 shots from the field and put up some insane defensive numbers, with 10 blocks in the two-game stretch against Florida-based teams. 

Grade: A+

3. Harrison Barnes (Previous Ranking: No. 2)

School: North Carolina

Year: Sophomore

Position: Small forward

2011-2012 Per-Game Stats: 17.3 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.0 assists

11/22 against Tennessee State (102-69 win): 26 minutes, 16 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, 1 turnover

11/25 against South Carolina (87-62 win): 24 minutes, 21 points, 5 rebounds, 1 steal, 3 turnovers

11/26 against UNLV (90-80 loss): 30 minutes, 15 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, 2 turnovers

Harrison Barnes continued to score at a high level this past week but shot poorly against UNLV before leaving the arena on crutches. Barnes is an incredible talent and displayed some post moves that I hadn't seen from him before this week while contributing everywhere on the court. 

Grade: A-

2. Jared Sullinger (Previous Ranking: No. 3)

School: Ohio State

Year: Sophomore

Position: Power forward

2011-2012 Per-Game Stats: 18.8 points, 10.7 rebounds, 1.8 assists

11/21 against North Florida (85-50 win): 28 minutes, 27 points, 13 rebounds, 3 steals, 1 turnover

11/22 against VMI (107-74 win): 20 minutes, 17 points, 12 rebounds, 1 assist, 3 turnovers

11/25 against Valparaiso (80-47 win): 37 minutes, 14 points, 13 rebounds, 5 assists, 4 steals, 1 block, 2 turnovers

Jared Sullinger still hasn't played anyone that can even challenge him, and it showed, as he put up three more double-doubles. His points per minute rate in the first two games was particularly impressive, but then again, everything the Ohio State big man does is impressive. 

Grade: A+

1. Anthony Davis (Previous Ranking: No. 1)

School: Kentucky

Year: Freshman

Position: Power forward

2011-2012 Per-Game Stats: 12.7 points, 8.2 rebounds, 1.3 assists

11/23 against Radford (88-40 win): 25 minutes, 12 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assists, 1 steal, 4 blocks, 2 turnovers

11/26 against Portland (87-63 win): 30 minutes, 13 points, 12 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 steals, 4 blocks

Anthony Davis continues to widen the gap between himself and the rest of the prospects across the country. He's now shooting 71.4 percent from the field after a perfect four-for-four performance against Radford and five-for-nine against Portland. The lanky Davis is a menace in the paint on both ends of the court.

Grade: A+
