Picking college basketball’s best team tough in wild year

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — Good luck sorting out who is college basketball’s best team this season.

Six teams have held the No. 1 spot in the Top 25, one shy of the record during the 1982-83 season. But there is still time to tie the mark. With less than three weeks to go before Selection Sunday, there is a crowd of good, but not great teams that includes Kansas, Michigan State, Oklahoma and Villanova.

But one team stands out when reviewing advanced stats and other indicators: Virginia, one of the nation’s most efficient teams at both ends of the court.
