The College Basketball Outlook With 1 Month to March Madness
The weekly AP Polls are a good barometer for your upcoming bracket, but a lot can change in the last month. For most of the college basketball season, three teams have had strangleholds at the top of the standings. South Carolina (unbeaten) remains No. 1 in the women’s poll. It’s been UConn at No. 1 for the men’s top-10 in January. Dan Hurley’s club has won eight straight over the last 40 days. But No. 2 Purdue has spent the most weeks at No. 1 this season. Enjoy this final generic poll of January. Come February, it’s bracketology month.
