Men’s college basketball is down to just seven undefeated teams.
Nearly half of the 13 remaining unbeatens heading into last weekend lost, leaving us with just seven out of 362 Division I teams with a zero in the loss column as we approach the midway point in December. Who will be the last one standing? Last season, the sport was left without a single unbeaten team by the end of the first week of January. Will anyone go further than that this year? No team has completed the unthinkable undefeated full season since Indiana’s legendary 1976 team under Bob Knight, and just three teams since then have completed an undefeated regular season.
Here’s a look at how each current undefeated team got here and when its first loss might come.
