Cards 6th in Both Polls

The Georgetown Hoyas will be playing the No. 6 team in the country tonight, at least according to the latest coaches’ and AP polls. The Cards moved up one spot from No. 7 after Michigan State’s 18-point loss to Purdue last week. The Spartans fell from No. 6 to No. 9 in both polls.

Meanwhile, after beating No. 1 UConn last week, and with No. 2 Oklahoma and No. 3 North Carolina both losing, Pitt retook the No. 1 throne the Cards stripped from it back in January at Freedom Hall. The Coaches' top 10 looks like this:

1. Pittsburgh (30) 25-2
2. Connecticut (1) 25-2
3. Oklahoma 25-2
4. Memphis 24-3
5. North Carolina 24-3
6. Louisville 21-5
7. Duke 22-5
8. Missouri 23-4
9. Michigan State 21-5
10. Marquette 23-4


And here's your AP:

1. Pittsburgh (69) 25-2
2. Connecticut (1) 25-2
3. Oklahoma (2) 25-2
4. North Carolina 24-3
5. Memphis 24-3
6. Louisville 21-5
7. Duke 22-5
8. Marquette 23-4
9. Michigan State 21-5
10. Villanova 22-5

Also, in Joe Lunardi’s latest bracketology, Louisville remains the Midwest’s 2 seed with UNC at 1 and Michigan State at the 3. The Cards’ first round opponent would be the North Dakota State Bison of the Summit Conference.
