Conference tournaments are now in full swing, with four automatic bids having been awarded in the past week (as of this posting), none of them going to top seeds. Houston concluded the regular season atop the Associated Press Top 25 yet again, wrapping up its inaugural Big 12 Conference season on a nine game winning streak with victories at Central Florida (67-59) and against then-#14 ranked Kansas (76-46). Connecticut held onto the #2 position in the Top 25 with road wins at then-#8 Marquette (74-67) and Providence (74-60). Purdue is ranked #3 for another week, after a 77-71 win at then-#12 ranked Illinois and a 78-70 win against Wisconsin. North Carolina moved up three slots, from #7 to #4, after an 84-51 victory over Notre Dame and an 84-79 win at then-#9 ranked Duke. Tennessee rounds out the top five after falling one slot, from #4 to #5, after a 66-59 win at then-#17 South Carolina and an 85-81 home court loss against then -#15 Kentucky.
Three Big East Conference schools are, once again, ranked in the AP Top 25, with Creighton and Marquette joining Connecticut. The Bluejays and Golden Eagles exchanged ranking positions, with Creighton moving up two spots to #8 after a 69-67 victory over Villanova in Philadelphia, and Marquette dropping two slots to #10 after a 74-67 loss to #2 Connecticut and an 86-80 victory at Xavier. No other Big East Conference schools received any votes in this week’s polls.
Kentucky had the largest advance amongst ranked teams this week, moving up six spots from #15 to #9 after a 93-77 win over Vanderbilt and an 85-81 win at then-#4 Tennessee. Washington State fell the furthest amongst ranked teams this week, dropping four slots from #18 to #22 after losing to unranked Washington, 74-68. San Diego State and South Florida fell out of the AP Top 25 this week, after the Aztecs (formerly #21) lost at unranked Nevada Las Vegas (62-58) and against unranked Boise State (79-77, in overtime) while the Bulls (formerly #24) defeated Tulane (85-72) and lost at unranked Tulsa (76-70). Replacing them this week are Nevada and Texas Tech; the Wolf Pack are ranked for the first time this season at #23 after winning at Boise State (76-66) and against Nevada Las Vegas (75-65), and the Red Raiders return to the rankings at #25 after wins at Oklahoma State (75-58) and against then-#11 Baylor (78-68).
Updates to this thread will become sporadic during the Big East Conference Tournament, as I will be in attendance with other Class of 1978 members. Hoping to have something to celebrate....

Three Big East Conference schools are, once again, ranked in the AP Top 25, with Creighton and Marquette joining Connecticut. The Bluejays and Golden Eagles exchanged ranking positions, with Creighton moving up two spots to #8 after a 69-67 victory over Villanova in Philadelphia, and Marquette dropping two slots to #10 after a 74-67 loss to #2 Connecticut and an 86-80 victory at Xavier. No other Big East Conference schools received any votes in this week’s polls.
Kentucky had the largest advance amongst ranked teams this week, moving up six spots from #15 to #9 after a 93-77 win over Vanderbilt and an 85-81 win at then-#4 Tennessee. Washington State fell the furthest amongst ranked teams this week, dropping four slots from #18 to #22 after losing to unranked Washington, 74-68. San Diego State and South Florida fell out of the AP Top 25 this week, after the Aztecs (formerly #21) lost at unranked Nevada Las Vegas (62-58) and against unranked Boise State (79-77, in overtime) while the Bulls (formerly #24) defeated Tulane (85-72) and lost at unranked Tulsa (76-70). Replacing them this week are Nevada and Texas Tech; the Wolf Pack are ranked for the first time this season at #23 after winning at Boise State (76-66) and against Nevada Las Vegas (75-65), and the Red Raiders return to the rankings at #25 after wins at Oklahoma State (75-58) and against then-#11 Baylor (78-68).
Updates to this thread will become sporadic during the Big East Conference Tournament, as I will be in attendance with other Class of 1978 members. Hoping to have something to celebrate....
