Rk.   Team (last week)      W-L    Second half priorities 
 
 1.   Stanford (1)          16-0   Keep team-first mindset with Josh 
                                   Childress back in the starting 
                                   lineup. 
 
 2.   Saint Joseph's (2)    17-0   Take care of business in the 
                                   A-10--and improve on the boards. 
 
 3.   Duke (3)              16-1   Make Shelden Williams a consistent 
                                   part of the offense.

                                   to key games on the road. 
 
 5.   Pittsburgh (5)        19-1   Development of frosh Chris Taft 
                                   (14.0 ppg, 8.2 rpg in last six 
                                   games). 
 
 6.   Mississippi St. (13)  16-1   Hit those free throws--Bulldogs' 
                                   percentage is ninth in the SEC. 
 
 7.   Kentucky (9)          12-2   Bring back SEC fear factor with 
                                   some decisive victories. 
 
 8.   Texas Tech (16)       16-2   Prove legitimacy by beating top Big 
                                   12 teams. 
 
 9.   Cincinnati (4)        14-1   Regain defensive tenacity against

11.   Gonzaga (11)          15-2   Don't lose--or risk getting a 
                                   worse-than-deserved NCAA seed. 
 
12.   Wisconsin (19)        13-3   Hold serve at home, and a third

13.   Arizona (18)          12-3   Toughen up on D--Wildcats shouldn't 
                                   be giving up nearly 80 ppg. 
 
14.   Georgia Tech (14)     15-3   Jackets must hold their own on the
