Last week, Presbyterian topped the rankings for the very first time. This time we have a new debutant in Marshall, who defeated Presbyterian in the CIT Quarter finals. The other changes in the top 25 were fueled by the NCAA Tournament.
All four teams in the Final Four are now in the top 5 with Auburn retaining their second ranking, Michigan State at 3, Virginia at 4 and Texas Tech rounding up the top 5 at fifth. Duke, Purdue, Houston and Oregon all stumbled down the standings as a result of their season ending losses.
Next week will see the champion crowned, along with the rest of the top 25. Tune in to see how the final week of college basketball shapes our standings.
