College Basketball Power 10: Time To Give Gonzaga Some Love
By Jeremy Karll
A look at the college basketball landscape after another top-ranked team went down.
Last week, college basketball didn’t have a million crazy upsets like the prior week, but it did have another top-ranked team fall. This time, the Villanova Wildcats lost on the road to Butler 66-58 to leave two undefeated teams left in the nation.
The Baylor Bears, who received their first No. 1 ranking by the Associated Press this week, and Gonzaga Bulldogs are the final undefeated teams in college basketball. There are also six one-loss teams in the top 25.
The biggest highlight of the week came from an obscure game in the Mountain West Conference between Nevada and New Mexico. On Sunday, Nevada trailed 90-76 with just more than a minute left.
Nevada went on to make their final six threes to tie the game at 94 before winning 105-104 on a buzzer-beating three-pointer in overtime.
