Men's Power Rankings: Did you hear? Purdue's No. 1

Houston is making a strong case for No. 1, but the résumé-based race currently favors the Boilermakers over the Cougars and Huskies.

They have Creighton higher than most. Which I agree with.

When Creighton is hot they can beat any team in the country. Problem is they would have to be hot for 6 straight Tournament games to win it all and that's asking for too much.

Also, like SHU they are an injury away from their season blowing up.

Agree, they are not deep. But dangerous because of the ability to score the ball and shoot the 3, plus having the big guy in the paint. They have much more "rope" when it comes to losing a starter because of how their starting 5 compares to our starting 5.
