Let's finish up this series with part four!
 |
Rhode Island - Providence FriarsDespite losing stud point guard Kris Dunn to the NBA, Providence is off to a largely successful 2017 campaign. The Friars are 11-7 with wins over in-state rival University of Rhode Island and conference rival Georgetown. |
 |
South Carolina - Clemson TigersAlready 11-4, the Tigers are off to a roaring beginning to their season. In fact, Clemson just lost their first two games since November, a thriller against ACC opposition North Carolina and an end to end game versus Notre Dame. |
 |
South Dakota - South Dakota CoyotesTheir are only two Division One athletic schools in South Dakota, and the Coyotes are the only team with a winning record, so it seems only right for them to be chosen here! |
 |
Tennessee - Tennessee VolunteersAlthough the Volunteers are only 8-7, they do have some quality wins on their resumé. Tennessee has taken down Georgetown and Texas A&M, and they nearly defeated Oregon and North Carolina earlier on this season.
|
 |
Texas - Baylor BearsAs of right now, the Baylor Bears are the nation's top ranked team, according to the AP Poll. Baylor has had a fantastic 15-1 start to the 2016-17 season, and they have wins over Oregon, Michigan State, and Louisville.
|
 |
Utah - Utah UtesUtah has been a consistent contender in the PAC-12 for the past few years and this year is no exception. The Utes have only lost four games so far, and are well on their way to fighting for a conference championship.
|
 |
Vermont - Vermont CatamountsAlthough they are the only D-1 school in Vermont, the Catamounts are actually having a decent year. Vermont has victories over Harvard and Yale and has a solid chance to compete for the American East Conference championship. |
 |
Virginia - Virginia CavaliersHistorically, the Cavaliers have been one of the most consistent defensive teams in the ACC. They hadn't let a team score more than 61 points, until their recent loss to Pittsburgh. Virginia is going to be a tough out in March Madness. |
 |
Washington - Gonzaga BulldogsThe Bulldogs have a really, really solid chance to go undefeated. So far, Gonzaga is 15-0 with wins over Arizona and Iowa State, and now that they're into conference play, the wins should be coming even faster. |
 |
West Virginia - West Virginia MountaineersPress Virginia. That's the nickname for Bob Huggins' team. They press, and press, and press. Coming off of massive a win against top ranked Baylor, the Mountaineers are certainly one of the best, and most entertaining, teams in college basketball.
|
 |
Wisconsin - Wisconsin BadgersAt 13-3, Wisconsin is sitting pretty atop the Big 10 conference. The Badgers, led by senior Nigel Hayes, are going to be one of the favorites to win their conference and make a deep run in March. |
 |
Wyoming - Wyoming CowboysThe Cowboys are the only D-1 school in their state, leaving them as the only option for this spot. Wyoming is 11-5 to start off the season, with a chance to sneak into the NCAA Tournament by winning their conference. |
