In one of the craziest weeks of college basketball in recent memory, only three of the top 10 teams in the nation didn’t lose.

Last week marked one of the craziest weeks in college basketball history. Seven of the top 10 teams in the nation lost and 14 ranked teams in total lost.

The mayhem started on Tuesday when Villanova, Kansas and Kentucky became the first trio of top four teams in the nation to lose on the same day since 2012.

All three teams were on the road, but Villanova and Kentucky played unranked Marquette and Tennessee, respectively, compared to Kansas losing to 18th-ranked West Virginia.

Every day last week, except Friday when no ranked teams played, a ranked team lost. It now leaves Gonzaga as the only undefeated team in the nation and Baylor as the only team with one loss.

They split the competition, but Kansas beating Kentucky gave Big 12 the biggest win of the weekend.

After an eventful week of college basketball, here’s a look at the top 10 teams in the nation.
