Highlights:

Kentucky wins one and loses one, dropping Adolph Rupp to .733. The retirement of Pete Newell moves Rupp up a notch to third place.
Utah's national fourth place finish gives Jack Gardner two more wins and two more losses to keep him at .500 in twenty games.
Tex Winter debuts on the list at .500 after Kansas State wins one and loses one.
Steve Belko debuts on the list with his second tournament trip coaching Oregon after taking Idaho State to the tournament several times.
Eddie Hickey debuts on the list after a first round Marquette loss, his second trip with Marquette. Hickey has also taken Creighton and St. Louis, the only coach so far to lead three different schools to the tournament.
