We’re approaching the part of the NCAA Basketball schedule where most of the key games are played on Saturdays, with a few others sprinkled in. So that means there aren’t a ton of upsets that affect the overall rankings, though there always will be a few.
The top might not have changed but thanks to some results from out west, there was some movement from the middle to the end of the top-25 power rankings. Check out where everyone is placed ahead of a monstrous Saturday slate that’ll see a few top-25 matchups.
The Tigers were in the news this week with the report that starting center Jordan Brown had decided to leave the team. We’ll see what comes from that from a roster perspective, but the team was able to stop the bleeding last week, beating VCU on the road in overtime. They have a big matchup on Sunday against Texas A&M in a game that could see them ranked in the AP poll if they win.
The Tigers are just one of eight unbeaten teams in NCAA Basketball, coming off an 81-70 win over Drexel. They face what may be their toughest battle of the season, going on the road to face a St. Joe’s team playing its best basketball of late. A win there could put them on a big run going forward.
It was split week for the Badgers, starting with a good win on the road at Michigan State. Unfortunately, that momentum couldn’t carry over out west to No. 1 Arizona, where Wisconsin was thoroughly outplayed from the beginning to the end, losing 98-73. Had it been a bit more competitive, I wouldn’t had a better argument to keep them ranked.
