Only 13 college basketball teams are still undefeated, including Houston and South Carolina

Here’s an up-to-date-list of the 13 remaining undefeated teams in Division I college hoops.

College basketball isn’t even eight weeks into the season, but chaos happens daily. Somehow, several teams have survived the madness, including Dawn Staley’s young South Carolina team and the Houston Cougars — yes, THE HOUSTON COUGARS.

Upets, court stormings and huge shots have defined a wild college basketball season. There are some impressive talents on the men’s side (hello, Zach Edey, Caleb Love and Kyle Filipowski) and even more gritty players on the women’s side (like this year’s freshmen class) tearing up the courts. Yet, the most impressive thing has been the resiliency of the undefeated teams.

For context, on the women’s side, Uconn completed their perfect season during a 2015-2016 run, and the only team to come close since that moment is South Carolina, who fell to Caitlin Clark and Iowa earlier this year. Men’s basketball hasn’t seen a perfect season since the 1975-1976 season when Indiana went 32-0.
