It’s been a wild weekend for college basketball as most teams are either wrapping up their regular season or in the middle of their conference tournaments. For CBS, that means there’s just enough time for one more top 25 ranking.

Houston remains first, Kansas third, Purdue fifth, and Gonzaga are tenth.
