We're tracking the undefeated teams in DI college basketball this season for as long as they can keep their records perfect.
UConn is the most recent women's team to complete an undefeated season by cutting down the nets, going 38-0 in 2015-16.
Men's basketball hasn't seen a perfect season since 1975-76 with 32-0 Indiana. There won't be a perfect season in 2022-23 either. New Mexico — the last undefeated men's team in DI — lost to Fresno State, 71-67, on Jan. 3.
Here are the remaining undefeated DI teams this season, along with current records and some guesses at what their toughest games remaining might be. We focused mostly on records to pick the toughest opponents, though it is (of course) far from a sure thing that another team won't jump up and give one of these undefeated teams a first loss.
