MRI2005: Week 13 - Two Weeks Remain

Two weeks remain before the field of 65 is annouced and another 40 teams have their life in the NIT. As things continue to be a little muddy near the bubble zone, the top is definitely clear. Texas regains its #1 spot in the MRI this week, thanks to their asserting their dominance against Kansas.

Duke falls, but only to a close #2. This is despite efforts from J.J. Redick to break the all-time scoring record in the ACC. Redick's achievement this week was overshadowed by the dominant play of Shelden Williams in both of the Blue Devil games. While Redick scored 33 points in the two contests, Williams rolled off two consecutive double-doubles to keep Duke undefeated in conference and complete the two season long sweep of the Temple Owls. Wililams was named ACC player of the week for his efforts.

Memphis continues to play strong at #3 and is in position to challenge for the top spot. Connecticut avenged their loss to Villanova and moved closer to the Top 3 with a convincing win on Sunday afternoon. Rounding out the Top 5 is Illinois who are just one game out of first place in the Big Ten standings after a big win over Iowa.

Check out all the Rankings in Week 13 of the MRI.
