NCAA Basketball Rankings - 18 Mar

It's time for postseason basketball, but before that starts, I've got my second-to-last rankings of the season. The hottest teams over the past week were Oregon, who upset Arizona State and Washington to sneak into the tournament, and Iowa State, who upset Kansas State and Kansas back-to-back to win the tough Big 12. Here are my full current rankings, with conference champs in bold, and at-large teams underlined:
