Gonzaga vs. UCLA: Looking at all-time No. 1 vs. 2 games before the 43rd matchup of top two teams

Posted Nov 23, 2021
On the men's side, we happen to see 1-vs.-2 pretty frequently. The AP poll dates back to the 1948-49 season, so do the math: 73 years and 43 games means college hoops gets the top squaring off more frequently than an every-other-year basis. The most recent top-two tilt was on the opening night 2019-20 season, when No. 1 Michigan State was defeated by No. 2 Kentucky. (CBS Sports)
