We have had way more development this year than ever before. We just got another point in team roster strength, up to 87 OVR. Also, for the first time we have players gaining 3 points in season. Grundy has gone from 74->77, but he's graduating. The better news is seeing backup PG Barker advance from 72->75 OVR during the season as a sophomore.
6 players on the team gained 2 points during the season. The most exciting here is also a soph, as John McCully is now rated 79 OVR.
taking a look ahead:
We play 1 seed Louisville next. They are #2 in the nation and have an astounding team roster strength of 97 OVR.
Some upsets in the west, as 6 seed Alabama beat 3 seed Michigan, while 7 seed Penn State upset 2 seed W. Virginia. They'll play each other, winner gets the winner of Kansas and South Florida (1 v 5).
In the South, the top mid-major this year, Marist, beat 4 seed mississippi State to advance and plays overall #1 UNLV next. More upsets here as 7 seed Purdue upset Texas A&M. They've got PAC-10 champs Oregon next.
And in the Midwest, 1 seed Ole Miss crushed North Carolina, 98-72 to advance. 5 seed St. Joes knocks out Maryland.
Clemson is the lone ACC team left as a 2 seed, they'll play 6 seed Florida after Florida upset Syracuse.
Louisville is the highest rated team left and possibly the highest rated team in the country. The other 1 seeds are rated 90-94 OVR.
