Post-Deadline Top 25 in NCAA Hoops

ESPN.com released it’s latest version of the top 25 poll for NCAA basketball. There wasn’t too much that you wouldn’t have expected. One thing I noticed was that the Pac 10 had a lot of teams in the mix. UCLA lost Aaron Afflalo, but nobody seemed to think that would degrade the Bruins much at all. UCLA was right behind fellow Pac 10er Washington State at number 6 overall.

Slightly further down the list a few more teams out west showed up. USC and Arizona were No. 12 and 13 respectively and Oregon was nipping at Stanford’s heels just a few spots later. The Ducks were ranked 16th and the Cardinal 15th. Last year’s NCAA Basketball Tournament was fairly kind to the Pac 10 and unlike a lot of the other conferences, they weren’t decimated by the recent NBA draft declaration deadline.

If you’d like to catch some of the good hoops out on the left coast, you can always get awesome Pac 10 basketball tickets at StubHub.com.
