NCAA Basketball Rankings - 2 Mar

Saint Mary's joined the top 25 this week for the first time all season, fresh off an upset of perennial conference titan Gonzaga. North Carolina once again jumped into the top 25, swapping spots with NC State, just like the two in-state rivals have done each week for the past month. Here are my full current rankings:
