No. 5: North Carolina State Wolfpack

After taking a heartbreaking loss to Miami last week, NC State made up for it with a huge win over a ranked UNC team. NC State needs to stay consistent if they want to be feared going into March, but beating UNC is a good step in the right direction for Will Wade's squad.

No. 4: Miami Hurricanes

Miami's win streak finally came to an end on Saturday with a three-point loss to Virginia on the road in a game that the Hurricanes definitely could have won. Miami is headed in the right direction with only six total losses going into the last week of February.
