College Basketball Rankings 2/17/20

After a big win against Notre Dame on Saturday, Duke once again finds themselves in the number one spot. Gonzaga controlled their own destiny, but couldn’t beat Pepperdine by enough to keep there spot. One team that I have liked all year has been Creighton. They finally found a way to enter the Top 25 replacing LSU. One surprising move was Michigan moving back into the Top 10. With Selection Sunday less than a month away we are starting to see what the tournament may look like. Let me know on Twitter what you think of this week’s power rankings.
