At this point in a normal year, teams would be gearing up for the NCAA tournament.
Instead, because of concerns about the spread of COVID-19, it's all over. Both conferences tournaments and the NCAA tournament were canceled in succession last week.
The Associated Press released its final top-25 poll of the season on Wednesday afternoon, ranking Ohio State at No. 19. This is the third week in a row the Buckeyes were ranked 19th.
No. 1 Kansas, No. 2 Gonzaga, No. 3 Dayton, No. 4 Florida State and No. 5 Baylor rounded out the top-five in the season's last poll. Five other Big Ten teams – No. 9 Michigan State, No. 12 Maryland, No. 17 Wisconsin, No. 21 Illinois and No. 25 Iowa – appeared in the top 25.
