NCAA Men’s College Basketball Final Regular Season Polls

AP & ESPN/USA Today PollsDespite earning a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Men’s Tournament, the UConn Huskies are only the No. 5 (AP)/6 (ESPN) team in the land.  Their Big East brethren the Louisville Cardinals are the tops in men’s basketball finishing on top of both polls.

Obviously the media and coaches think a little more of the Memphis Tigers than the selection committee did as the Tigers finished at No. 3 in the AP Poll and No. 2 in the ESPN/USA Today Poll.

Awful Announcing has your game times and announcers for the first two rounds of the NCAA Men’s Tournament. And remember if you need help making your picks, take a look at Bracket Brains for some help.

NCAA Men’s College Basketball Polls – Week 13

While many people, including myself, talk about teams holding the top spot in the land, the only time it really matters is in April after the championship game.
