Yep. Not even a month into the season and CHJ is going to pick back up on one of the more intriguing storylines of the college basketball season: Who will go the longest without losing a game? Last year the last club to fall was, of course, Memphis, who took a single digit into the loss column on Feb. 23 when they couldn’t knock out Tennessee at home. (Kansas and North Carolina, two other Final Four teams, made it to late January sans loss.)
Inversely, those who have not yet felt that glorious feeling of victory will be spotlighted as well. CHJ is hoping the New Jersey Institute of Technology can make it two years in a row without a win.
Right now we have 26 teams that have yet to take off their jerseys and throw them in the laundry pile as losers. Twenty teams have the reverse effect.
Here’s the breakdown:
- Duke 8-0 (ACC)
