Here are the AP Top 25 and USA Today Coaches Polls, post-Selection Sunday. Kansas is No. 1 in both polls with Michigan State and North Carolina taking up No. 2 and No. 3, respectively. Virginia and Oregon round out the top five with the Cavaliers No. 4 in the AP Poll and No. 5 in the Coaches Poll. Oregon is the opposite.
Cincinnati no longer needs to worry about the NCAA Tournament resume, as they were named a No. 9 seed, facing off with No 8 seed Saint Joseph's on Friday, but that doesn't mean the polls aren't still a talking point. Cincinnati, following a week where the Bearcats fell to UConn in four overtimes, 104-97, has three votes in the AP Top 25 and one vote in the Coaches Poll. The AP vote total for the Bearcats dropped from six votes a week ago.
The Bearcats matchup with Saint Joseph's Friday, March 18. Tipoff is scheduled for 9:57 PM ET on truTV.
