In college basketball, having a strong point guard and dominant big man is a winning combination, as proven by teams like the UConn Huskies and the NBA's Denver Nuggets. Purdue's Braden Smith and Zach Edey showcased this in a victory against Wisconsin. With an impressive resume, Purdue is currently the top-ranked team and a favorite to win the 2024 NCAA Tournament.

Other notable teams in the Top 25 And 1 rankings include UConn, Houston, N. Carolina, and Kansas.
