Men’s Basketball or the Top 364

Welcome back to episode 453 of the GCR and the second men’s college basketball ranking. Since the last ranking, St John’s (22-4/9) lost to Villanova (15-12/125) before turning around to beat Creighton (18-8/33), and Memphis (21-5/6) lost to Wichita (15-10/129). The big game was not only a hoops Iron Bowl, but the first ever AP#1 vs AP#2 with both teams from the same state. Auburn (23-2/1) took down Alabama (21-4/2) on the road in a thriller 94-85. With Memphis losing, Florida (22-3/3) is now third. Duke (23-3/4) rounds out the GCR top seed picks for this week. Overall, the SEC has 9 teams in the top 25, the Big Ten has 4, the ACC has 3, the Big East and the Mountain West each have 2, and the American, Big 12, West Coast, Big West, and Atlantic 10 each have 1.

…..

Send me some comments on your thoughts of both men’s and women’s rankings as we are always looking for ways to improve. Thank you for reading and sharing with others, G. And now, I am proud to present the GCR’s Men’s Top 364 from Auburn to Canisius.
