As February draws to a close that means the college basketball season is headed toward the NCAA tournament known as "March Madness" to determine a TRUE national champion (here is hoping NCAA Division I football leadership will get the idea for reforming the current BCS system).

As regular readers know I announced that after my alma mater Iowa State Cyclones my favorite basketball team is the University of North Florida (UNF) in Jacksonville (see my posting entitled " #334") which was named the lowest rated team, #334, for the pre-season according to the "Sagarin ratings" which is regularly published by USA Today. On February 16th the latest Sagarin ratings for men's college basketball were published with my Cyclones at #57 and the UNF Ospreys now sitting at #327 with a 6 and 19 season record!!! Progress, my friends. I am proud to wear my UNF t-shirt at the gym :)
Here are the Top Ten rated men's teams for this week in case you missed it:
Duke
Connecticut
Texas
Villanova
Memphis
Ohio State
Florida
Pittsburgh
Illinois
Tennessee

Coach Norman Dale, "Hoosiers"
James Naismith factoid: the only coach in University of Kansas men's basketball history to own a losing record.
