NCAA Basketball Rankings - 11 Mar

With only a week left before the tournament, the Houston Cougars surged into the #1 spot in this week's rankings on the strength of a blowout win over Kansas, who sits at #19. Colorado has moved into the top 25, only the 2nd Pac 12 team to be ranked currently, but they are definitely hot at the right time. Here are my full current rankings:
