The last Associated Press Top 25 College Basketball Poll has been released and Ohio State finishes the season just inside the top 20 at No. 19. Normally, there would be more basketball with a chance to improve that ranking, but with the Big Ten and NCAA Tournament both being canceled because of measures put in place to curb the spread of the novel coronavirus, that’s all she wrote.
Kansas finishes atop the poll followed by Gonzaga, Dayton, Florida State, and Baylor. San Diego State, Creighton, Kentucky, Michigan State, and Villanova round out the top ten.
The Big Ten finishes with six teams in the rankings. In addition to the Spartans and Buckeyes, Maryland (12), Wisconsin (17), Illinois (21), and Iowa (25) all made the cut.
POLL ALERT: Kansas finishes No. 1 in final AP Top 25, Gonzaga, Dayton, Florida State and Baylor round out top five.
