Best College Basketball Team in Each State 2020-21

United States of College Basketball 2020-21: Where every team ranks in each state, from top to bottom - Matt Norlander – November 24, 2020

All votes are in, all precincts have reported. I've seen enough.

It's time to look at one more map of this country, but the most colorful, competitive and uplifting one. The 2020-21 edition of the United States of College Basketball is back. Each state (with the exception of Alaska, which does not have a Division I program) is represented by logo with the best projected team in each state. There were some extremely close races this year -- and then there were the blowouts.

College basketball's season starts Wednesday. This is the final look, one last canvass across the country before the games get going and results can overtake estimations, predictions and far-flung forecasts.

UCLA coach Mick Cronin is really unimpressed by his team after loss to San Diego State - Los Angeles Times – November 26, 2020

The overconfidence that Mick Cronin feared could be his team’s undoing should no longer be an issue. Nationally ranked and picked to win the Pac-12 Conference, UCLA looked average at best in its season opener.

The No. 22 Bruins were missing two of their top players because of injuries and suffered from several other no-shows while getting flattened in a 73-58 loss to San Diego State on Wednesday night at Viejas Arena.
