|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Hawaii
|
It's time for our sad farewell to the 2019-2020 college basketball season. Let's have some fun with this poll and relive the best moments. |
| 2 |
Evansville
|
The year would not have been so crazy without Evansville's upset in Lexington, as the Purple Aces proceeded to finish conference play 0-16. |
| 3 |
Stephen F. Austin
|
And who can forget Stephen F. Austin ending Duke's streak just weeks later? The call "BAIN... YES!!" will echo through college hoops lore. |
| 4 |
Dayton
|
What an unforgettable season for the Dayton Flyers. If I had a vote for National Player of the Year, it would definitely go to Obi Toppin. |
| 5 |
Memphis
|
The James Wiseman saga was something many had never seen before and likely will never forget. In retrospect, it was a classic NCAA move. |
| 6 |
Kansas
|
We won't forget the fight that broke out between Kansas and Kansas State, nor Silvio de Sousa ready to hulk smash someone with a stool. |
| 7 |
North Carolina
|
And no one will ever forget North Carolina's historically bad year with some of the most heartbreaking losses our eyes have ever seen. |
| 8 |
Maryland
|
And how about the strength of the Big Ten? It might have been the best year for any conference that has happened in quite some time. |
| 9 |
Rutgers
|
Rutgers' season was especially special, as the Scarlet Knights were primed to return to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in 30 years. |
| 10 |
Penn State
|
Penn State was also ready to end a lengthy tournament drought. I can speak for many fans in Happy Valley that this was a magical season. |
| 11 |
Wisconsin
|
And congrats to Wisconsin, who overcame early bad losses and the departure of Kobe King to win the top seed in the conference tournament. |
| 12 |
Michigan State
|
Give a cheer to Cassius Winston. He overcame the tragic death of his brother and remained one of the top players in CBB. We'll miss him. |
| 13 |
Marquette
|
Same for Markus Howard. It's rare that we see a player drop nearly 30 points per game in a major conference. He was a spectacle to behold. |
| 14 |
DePaul
|
Light a candle for the DePaul Blue Demons, who were off to their best start in ages, then sadly fell right into the Big East meat grinder. |
| 15 |
Providence
|
Give a hand to the Providence Friars, who overcame losses to Long Beach State and Charleston to find themselves securely in the tournament. |
| 16 |
Virginia
|
Congrats to the Virginia Cavaliers, not just for an incredible season turnaround but for still laying claim to the title "defending champs." |
| 17 |
Duke
|
Give a pat on the back to ESPN, who didn't shove a player down our throats like they did Zion Williamson last year. Maybe they're learning. |
| 18 |
Northern Iowa
|
Say goodbye to A.J. Green and the 3-point-shooting Panthers who sadly slipped up in Arch Madness and likely would have missed the big dance. |
| 19 |
ETSU
|
Say goodbye to Steve Forbes and ETSU, who didn't slip up to a bid thief and instead finished an incredible 30-4 season out the SoCon. |
| 20 |
San Diego State
|
While we're here, let's not forget some of the incredible content on r/CBB, such as the undefeated map, San Diego State's claim to fame. |
| 21 |
Kansas State
|
The Gif Wars of 2019 raged on into 2020, producing some of the best OC that this sub has seen. I can only hope 2021 is as excellent. |
| 22 |
Purdue
|
What would r/CBB be without Purdue and Indiana fans constantly going at each other via bar graphs? What other subreddit has that? |
| 23 |
Houston Baptist
|
And let's not forget the Houston Baptist Huskies, one of the favorites to the appear in the r/CBB user poll seemingly every single week. |
| 24 |
NC State
|
Just like NC State scoring 24 points in a game last year, the 2019-2020 college basketball season produced some moments we'll never forget. |
| 25 |
BYU
|
Goodbye, 2019-2020 college basketball. Here's hoping that the 2020-2021 college basketball season and r/CBB will be just as magical. |
