Andy Katz’s Power 36: Predicting who’s in and out of the NCAA tournament (Feb. 5)
4. Cincinnati (4):
The best four teams — right now — are these four. The Bearcats don’t always make it look gorgeous, but they get it done, especially defensively. A 10-point win over Houston and an eight-point win at UConn keep this train rolling. The Bearcats will host UCF and then take their act to SMU on Sunday this week. Catch them when you can.
17. Houston (15):
Do yourself a favor and watch Rob Gray at some point this season. He’s having a special season. Now, the Cougars couldn’t hold off Cincinnati’s surge, but the Cougars definitely had the Bearcats nervous. But then Houston followed that up by splitting the road trip and winning at UCF. Home games against SMU and Tulane this week should keep the Cougars on pace to finish as high as second in the American.
32. Temple (NR):
The Owls are getting rewarded here for a GREAT week for them and the city of Philadelphia. Temple beat Wichita State in overtime and then took out Tulane on the road. Look, the 13-10 overall record and 5-6 in the American isn’t going to wow anyone. But don’t sleep on the overall resume with wins over Clemson and Auburn still on the docket. East Carolina and South Florida on the road are up next. Temple has to win those games to keep hope alive to get a bid.
