NCAA Basketball Rankings - 27 Feb

The regular season has ended for several conferences, and some conference tournaments are starting this evening, so we are definitely in the stretch run of the season. Houston took back the #1 spot from Alabama this week, and Kentucky had a very strong week with propelled it into the top 25 for the first time this season. Here are my full current rankings:
