North Carolina & Gonzaga Headline 2022-23 Men’s NCAA Basketball Poll
It’s almost time! The 2022-23 men’s college basketball season tips off on Monday, Nov. 7, and we saw the first AP Poll of the season yesterday. North Carolina leads a blue-blooded top-10 after the Tar Heels’ magical run to the championship game last March. After Carolina, it’s another year of high expectations for Gonzaga (No. 2) while the defending champs from Kansas sit at No. 5. A few snubs and surprises round out the top 25, but we’ll be tipping off the sprint to March in less than two weeks.
