This season of college basketball has provided a surplus of upsets, resulting in a great amount of parity among the top teams in the nation. Villanova, the top-ranked team in Monday’s AP Top 25, has racked up three losses on the season, on par with Southern Methodist University, who is ineligible for the postseason, and fellow mid-majors Xavier and Dayton. It seems that a top team is knocked off at least once each week, and there is no dominant favorite heading into March as there have been in past seasons, nor is there a team chasing perfection as Kentucky did last season.
