Faculty basketball ranking: Auburn, the Duke is constantly held in 1-2; Tennessee in Top 5

<!–>

Ahhhhh, March! The great moon arrived on Saturday with a loaded slate. As if the southeastern conference was not enough flexible of its collective muscles throughout the season, the league sent a reminder of the nation that it posted a historic campaign by giving us the three best 20 matches of the first day of the best month of basketball.

And in Knoxville we got the current taste of madness when Tennessee’s Jahmai Mashack hit 40 feet on the buzz to give Volunteers and 79-76 Win over Alabam. The Barnes Rick team gathered with Down 76-72 with the remaining 36 seconds to achieve the last seven points in the wild:

Elsewhere in college basketball on Saturday, we saw Aburn and Duke Show why the main two teams are in the country.

AND Tigers kept Kentucky without a field goal near 11 minutes, rolling on Victory 94-78 in Lexington. The Bruce Pearl team claimed that the direct title of the regular part of the SEC season with victory and went to a total of 27-2, showing that you have to play a+ game to have the opportunity to beat them. Why? Because Miles Kelly drilled nine threesomes and had 30 points while Chad Baker-Mazar achieved 22. Johnna Broome?? He shot 3-for-9, while the scorer with a two-core in Denver Jones tried only two goals and that didn’t matter.

This team defends on a glossy level and is a total nightmare that opponents keep because the tigers can answer any question. In fact, I’m a little confused why we’re no longer talking about Auburn was a generational great team. The Tigers lost only one league match and fled with a title in Sec’s, which follows 13 teams on the NCAA tournament.

When it comes to dominance, what do you say in the Duke? AND Blue devils They won six direct games, each of them coming with at least 18 points.

After Cooper flagg He came out in the first half with an eye injury, there were nerves at the Cameron Indoor stadium that future selection no. 1 in the NBA draft in line. But the superpower freshman returned to the second half and finished with 16 points, six rebounds and four assists in route 100-65 of The state of Florida. To make the Jon Scheyer team without Tirean proctor – Who was out of knee injury, but he should come back in the near future – and still win with that margin, even in the middle of intimidation, is proof of how much the wagon is this team. The Duke is number 1 in Kenpom for a reason.

While we were led with Auburn and Duke throughout the season, I think it has a note that Florida He has every bite to reduce network in San Antony this April. AND Gators are offensive jung Texas a & m Defense on Saturday night and beating Aggies 89-70 14th year of threesome.

I think the biggest testament is how good Todd Golden is in scoring the fact that the Sve -American guardian Walter Clayton He shot 3-for-13 from the floor and 2-for-8 from the city center, which did not change. This is because the older guardian Will Richard was a flame on Saturday night, shot 9-for-13 from the floor and delivered 25 points, while the big man Thomas Haugh It was the main problem of aggies matches, which went 17 to 7 out of 10 from the floor. What do you say on 21 assistance in the night? And on the other hand, the gators have been extinguished Wade Taylor IV In the 3-o-11 melody while the Aggies fell fourth in a row.

Three second weekend for the weekend:

St. John Red storm They are more than just back – they are champions. For the first time in 1985, Johnnies are after the champions in the regular part of the Big East after season Rj luis led the way with a 21 point ua Victory of 71-61 title over Setting hall In front of the third audience weekend in the garden of Madison Square Garden. Hall of Fame Rick Pitino’s career has written one of its best chapters ever, because the 72-year-old is the University of St. John raised to a level he hadn’t seen in four decades. He is the first coach of the faculty to win the conference title in the regular part of the season in five different schools, and with his 880s. With his career win on Sunday, Dean Smith went for seventh all the time. What a story cooked on Manhattan.

State of Iowa i Texas Tech made statements on Saturday. For Red Raiders In order to win in Allen Fieldhouse and drilled 15 threesomes in the process, they showed why they could be a dangerous team on a large dance floor. Grant McCasland acquisition JT Toppin From the transfer portal was a straw knocking. In Ames, Cyclones Arizona took revenge, and he also showed why they were still a dark horse to reach the last four. When they get offensive balance as Saturday, with five points in a two -core and Milan Minkislovs Feeling problems with matches with his 3, they are special because the defense does not hover.

The life on the bubble is still intensified, and we had winners and bubble losers over the weekend. The biggest result of lift eyebrows was John Calipari and Arkansas Getting a loss of 19 points to a weak South Carolina team. It should push that Razorbacks For now from the foreseen fields. Georgia has completely changed hope this week, after winning the Q1 over Florida dominant victory in Texas. AND Spirit It should be outside the projected fields, and the headquarters of Rodney Terry warms up.

In a large ten, Indiana passed by Washington behind Malik Reneauwho is such a talent, and Luke GoodeWho shows why Mike Woodson wanted him from the portal. If Hoosiers Win Oregon on Tuesday night, they belong. Anyway their home game against Ohio State On Saturday there is a mammoth calculation. Nebraska should be very arrogant after losing bad loss in Minnesota.

And in the Great East, Xavier really helped to win 22 points Creighton. Zach Freemantle and Ryan Conwell Combined for 43. They are underrated as a great duo in sports. AND Musketeers They won five in a row. If Xavier wins the Butler and then wins the Providence this week, it should be on the right side of the bubble.
