NCAA Basketball Rankings - 7 Mar

Iowa was the hottest of the ranked teams this week, with a strong road win at Michigan, followed by a very close road loss at Illinois. Also hot was North Carolina, who knocked off Duke on the road in Coach K's final home game to move into the top 25 for the first time since January. Here are my full current rankings:
