Their end of season schedule is very soft with 6 of their last 11 games vs. Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, and Penn State.
Don't confuse *bad* teams with teams that have quit. Bad teams can fight hard and still come up with an unexpected win or two. Michigan hasn't quit, they just don't know what they're doing. One of the youngest teams in America with 3 or 4 freshman bigs in a league stacked with talented, veteran big men.
Calling East Carolina quitters is kinda stupid considering they just beat 2 of the best C-USA teams on the road in back to back weeks, including a miraculous comeback vs. Marshall.
Mississippi State has only begun to fight. They played almost half the season without 2 of their best players, and now in a soft SEC they will probably be positioned to win the SEC Tournament by getting a high SEC West seed.
Seton Hall? Once again, you're confusing teams that have quit with teams that are just bad. Seton Hall's leading scorer has had wrist problems and gunshot wounds and he's just now getting back into the game. I *expect* that they will beat at least 1 big east bubble team at home.
Baylor is the only team on that list that comes close to fitting the definition of quitters. They play no defense, LaceDarius Dunn is an unrepentant ball hog, their coach is only good for dirty recruiting and nothing else, and they just plain don't play like a team.
Not only are most of the teams on your list *NOT* quitters, you left out the #1 quittingest team in the nation right now: Central Florida. Losing 4 straight to some awful, awful teams including at home. You need to be careful going around using the "Q" word to describe teams, you could lose some people a lot of money.
