Team Trends - KU Peaking at just the right time

Baylor -- Appears to definitely be on an uptrend. Expect good things in the tourney. Up to 30th in the DPPI. Could possibly be 2nd weekend team but not likely.

Kansas -- Up to 8th in the DPPI. Will almost certainly be a No. 1 seed. Appears to be on a clear upward trend. Last 4 games have all been above projection

Iowa St. -- Been an up and down season. Looks to have hit a wall. Last 4 games below projection

Kansas St. -- No real trend. I have them 50th in the DPPI which means they will likely not survive round 1 although they can rise up occasionally.

Oklahoma -- Classic crash and burn. I am disappointed in Lon Kruger. I really put this on him. Self would not have handled Trae Young in the same way. OU is toast. Everyone seems to think they will make the tourney. I have them at 48th in the DPPI.

TCU -- Been a solid team all season. Pretty consistent. Currently ranked 18th in the DPPI. Could make it to the 2nd weekend sweet 16.

Oklahoma St. -- Another team on a clear uptick. Probably too little too late. But a win against KU could do wonders for their tourney chances. Expect a motivated team in Stillwater Saturday.

Texas -- Another pretty consistent team all season. Unfortunately consistently mediocre. Rated 47th in the DPPI puts them on the bubble.

Texas Tech -- What a story. Looks like the tail of two seasons. Look at the first 9 games and the last 8 games. Two clearly downward trends. It does not bode well for game 18.

West Virginia -- Once again the most inconsistent team but actually pretty consistent the last 5 games and generally on an uptick. They can be dangerous in the tourney. Rated 14th in the DPPI which means they should vie for a spot in the elite 8.
