Finding the right power forward. The Huskies have a nice collection of players at the position, but so far, coach Jim Calhoun doesn't appear pleased with any of them.
14. Iowa (8-1) +6
A defensive identity. Perhaps this isn't fair, given the quality of the Hawkeyes' early-season competition, but they rank last in the Big Ten in scoring defense.
15. Louisville (5-1) +2
Good health. The Cardinals' undermanned frontcourt took another hit when Otis George injured his right foot, which will keep him out three-plus weeks.
16. Texas (6-1) +3
17. Alabama (8-1) +1
18. Maryland (5-2) -3
19. Marquette (9-0) NR
20. George Washington (6-1) +4
A long-term memory for the NCAA selection committee. After impressive early wins, the Colonials will be out of the limelight playing in the Atlantic 10, which had an RPI conference ranking of 13 entering the week.
21. Gonzaga (7-1) +2
22. Boston College (7-0) +3
23. Notre Dame (4-2) NR
24. Arizona (6-2) NR
