College basketball has pretty much been three straight months of mass chaos and early March Madness matchups. Upsets have been had, there have been several No. 1 teams over the course of the season and we've got another one this week in Villanova. The Wildcats are 20-3 and have been dominating the Big East and got the slight edge over Maryland who just took down last week's No. 18 team Purdue.
And just to show how crazy this season really has been is this lovely stat:
.@NovaMBB: 6th different team ranked No. 1 in the @AP_Top25 this season, tied for 2nd-most in AP Poll history (7 in 1982-83)

UNC was the second-biggest loser of the last week having lost two straight games at Louisville and at Notre Dame. Texas A&M was right with the Tar Heels though as they lost two games as well to South Carolina at home and at Vanderbilt to drop seven spots in the poll. Providence dropped the farthest at nine spots to No. 20 after losses to DePaul and top team Villanova.
Here's the AP Poll in its entirety:
