NCAA Basketball Rankings - 19 Feb

Detroit Mercy finally won a game this week, their first of the season, but they were actually favored to win that game, as their opponent, IUPUI, was one of the 4 teams that I had ranked below the Titans heading into that game, and the game was in Detroit. UConn moved up 2 spots to #4 this week, and they currently have the best record in the country as well, so these Huskies may be looking to repeat as champs in just over a month. Here are my full current rankings:
