Tipoff: Top 10 disappointing teams so far this season

Some teams have exceeded early expectations this season. Like Furman. And Buffalo. Other teams have bounced back to normal standards. Like Wisconsin. Others have been disappointments. Our college basketball writer breaks down that last group:

1. West Virginia

The KenPom ratings might still like the Mountaineers, but there's a better than fair chance Bob Huggins' team goes from preseason top 25 to missing the NCAA tournament. The defense just isn't the prototypical West Virginia defense.

2. Florida

Getting run off the court in its opener against Florida State did Florida no favors. Of most concern right now, though, is Jalen Hudson.
