1 Villanova University Logo Villanova Yet again, another college basketball season comes to a close.
2 University of Kansas Logo Kansas Yes, other sports exist (not if you're Kansas, but at most other places it's baseball time and soon enough it's football.)
3 Duke University Logo Duke You know I had to do that.
4 University of Michigan Logo Michigan Despite other sports to fill the gap, though, we'll be without college basketball for another seven months.
5 Texas Tech University Logo Texas Tech That's too damn long - and, with the way the Timberwolves are playing, I might not even have the NBA.
6 Loyola University Chicago Logo Loyola Chicago Quick aside - how about the Jesus connection? Need to hook Pepperdine up to that.
7 Xavier University Logo Xavier Anyways, I just wanted to say thank you, really.
8 University of Virginia Logo Virginia A large part of my enjoyment of college basketball comes from the fandom, and y'all are part of that.
9 University of Nevada, Reno Logo Nevada Another aside, sorry - I put these guys here because I was remarkably impressed with the resilience of the team in every game.
10 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Logo North Carolina Anyways. Thank you to the pollsters.
11 West Virginia University Logo West Virginia Week in, week out, y'all are there to be far more rational than I usually am.
12 Purdue University Logo Purdue It is an honor (of sorts) to get to "work" with y'all for 20-odd weeks. #RetForPoll
13 Florida State University Logo Florida State Secondly, I'll thank the people who are on the sub, commenting and posting.

19 Michigan State University Logo Michigan State And the connections I've made have been cool as hell, so shoutout to y'all.
20 Ohio State University Logo Ohio State I am sorry for the @everyone ping a little while back, though. Not my proudest moment.
21 Texas A&M University Logo Texas A&M At the end of the day, we're just mostly faceless usernames in a sea of millions.
22 Auburn University Logo Auburn But it's neat that we can make something of a shared interest, and that's why I'm grateful for this place.
23 Syracuse University Logo Syracuse So yeah. Thanks, r/CBB. Love y'all. See you in a bit.
24 University at Buffalo Logo Buffalo My second favorite upset - feel bad that I slept on these guys all year, honestly.
