Weekend preview: Parity? Everyone's chasing UConn and Purdue - ESPN

This is usually the time within the college basketball season when the word parity is frequently used.

As March approaches and a collection of imperfect teams aim to hit their strides before the postseason, it often appears as if there is a crowd of good teams at the top but not necessarily a team that has separated itself. While the numerous losses by top 10 teams in road games against unranked opponents this season have supported the case for parity, they do not tell the full story.

The story of college basketball today? A pack of teams are chasing UConn and Purdue, two squads that have distanced themselves from the field. Those two are inching toward greatness.

UConn hasn't lost a game since Dec. 20.

The Huskies and Boilermakers aren't in that parity group. They've been the most dominant forces in the sport. Will anyone catch them?
