The GameTimeCT Top 10 Boys Basketball Poll (March 1): Quiet week as top 10 remains the same

Joe Morelli | March 1, 2021

Emmett O’Malley and the Ridgefield Tigers are hoping to add another FCIAC championship this season. Ridgefield is ranked sixth in the latest GameTimeCT Top 10 poll. (Hearst Connecticut Media file photo)

It was a quite week in the top 10 as the group combined to win 20 games against no losses. So the top 10 basically remained the same from last week – except for Ridgefield breaking the tie for sixth place with Bristol Central.

WEEK’S TOP PERFORMANCES

The top three remain an All-CCC affair: East Catholic, Windsor and Northwest Catholic. Notre Dame-West Haven and Wilbur Cross represent the SCC and Sacred Heart is still the team to beat in the NVL.

Kolbe Cathedral and Notre Dame-Fairfield are the SWC teams in the top 10. Notre Dame remained in the No. 10 spot despite not playing any games last week due to being in COVID quarantine. The Lancers are scheduled to return to action Thursday against Stratford.
