NCAA Basketball Rankings - Final

The UConn Huskies, who were #1 for most of the early part of the season, then fell as far as #6 during the past couple of months, had a dominant run through the tournament over the past 3 weeks, which pushed them back to the #1 ranking to finish the season as champions. Miami also made a huge jump of 15 spots to reach the top 25, and NIT champion North Texas moved up 22 spots as they knocked out all of their competition. Here are my final rankings of the season:
