March Madness continues tonight with the Sweet 16. This proportional symbol map displays the NCAA Div. I Basketball teams that have amassed the highest AP Top 25 Rankings over the past five years. The largest symbols include Gonzaga, Kansas, Duke, Villanova & Baylor.  These programs (with the exception of Gonzaga) tend to lie within the basketball heartland or core area.  Successful teams over this time period that are not in this year’s NCAA include Virginia, Florida State, West Virginia, Cincinnati, and Dayton.
