Auburn and Gonzaga are the top two college basketball teams in the nation. But is there a clear-cut worst basketball team in the country?

Yep. Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis. IUPUI for short. The Jaguars are 2-21, including 0-12 in the Horizon League.

The Jaguars have a minus 34.15 mark in the KenPom's ratings. That's the lowest mark of any team.

IUPUI also ranks 358th, which is dead last, in the NET rankings.

The University of Illinois-Chicago (UIC) is 9-13 with a 5-9 Horizon League mark. KenPom gives the Flames a minus 10.33 rating. UIC is ranked 283rd in the NET rankings, which is 75 spots higher than the Jaguars.

UIC is averaging 72 points during its past five games. This is 21.5 points more per game than IUPUI is averaging during its last four games.

Given such a power rating difference and taking in current scoring form and home-court advantage, I see the Flames winning this game by at least 20 points.
