First time @ #1 all year. Doesn’t matter how you start, but how you finish!

Sadly no other Big East teams in the top 23. Nice to see West Virginia get in at 21. Have to show my Alma Mater some love.

Margin of victory vs South Dakota St was 34. I'm saying this not to be a nit picker but to give them credit for a better game than the final score indicated and they seemed worthy of being in the final top 25. They led twice by 6 points in the first quarter before UConn imposed their will.

Right. Arkansas St was the unfortunate victim that lost by 60+

I would put UCLA in front of South Carolina in this poll...

Surprised they didn't have us at number three.
Has any other number one team beaten the number 2 team twice by an avg. 26 points? I doubt it.

Margin of victory for the tournament was +197. I don't know if that's a record.
They became the fifth team to reach #1 this year, a new record for the NCAA.
