The Men's College Basketball 2015-16 regular season has wrapped up and the AP has released their penultimate poll and there is minimal change at the top. Kansas is the overwhelming writer's choice as the top team in the land, though Michigan State got a couple of votes as well.
Kansas remains at the top of the rankings and Jay Wright's Villanova (27-4, 16-2) squad held at the #3 spot as they prep for the BIG EAST Tournament as the top seed on Thursday. Virginia, and Xavier round out the Top 5.
Villanova remained #2 in the USA Today Coached Poll. Full rankings below:
