NCAA Basketball Rankings - 29 Jan

The biggest move in the top 10 this week came from the defending champions of UConn, who won their only game of the week by 43 points over Xavier. New Mexico also made a huge move, jumping up to #13 after dismantling a good Nevada team, making the Lobos the best team from the smaller conferences. Here are my full current rankings:
