College basketball has produced one of the best collections of guards in recent memory, with players such as newly named SEC Player of the Year, Acuff, Flemings, and Philon all contributing significantly to their scoring totals this season. Since February 1, every team in college basketball has played at least nine games, this period has highlighted concerns for some teams that are showing some warts at the wrong time. Among the top candidates are Darryn Peterson, Anderson, Wagler, Peterson, and Tyler Tanner. Meanwhile, Purdue (projected No. 3 seed), Kansas State (expected to be No. 5 seed), and Vanderbilt (expected No. 4 seed), both projected to be in the next round, are struggling to maintain their strong offensive performances. Since the full-season picture, Trotter's analysis suggests that while all teams have played nine games in this period, some teams are showing signs of concern.
