    TOP 5 SHUFFLE: Michigan RISES To No. 1 Following Arizona's First 2 Losses | Did Cats Fall Too Far?

    Following Arizona's first 2 losses, Michigan has ascended to the top of the AP Poll. Arizona fell all the way to 4 - too low? The top 5 is Michigan, Houston, Duke, Arizona, UConn. If we go just outside the top 5, Iowa State sits at No. 6, and they hosted an epic showdown in Hilton with Houston on Monday night. Jerome Tang was fired by Kansas State on Sunday.

    Gonzaga needs BLOWOUT win vs Washington State so Graham Ike can recover! | Zags still top 10 in NET!

    Gonzaga Bulldogs face mounting pressure as Graham Ike logs heavy minutes and the team clings to a top-10 NET ranking despite dropping in the AP poll. Can the Zags deliver a blowout against Washington State to secure much-needed rest for their superstar? Rihards Vavers' hot shooting and Ace Glass’s relentless scoring pose fresh threats, raising the stakes for perimeter defense, early leads, and turnover-fueled transitions. Andy Patton breaks down Gonzaga’s evolving strategy, emphasizing keys like unlocking Adam Miller and Steele Venters from behind the arc, and questioning Mark Few’s reliance on Ike with Braden Huff still sidelined. With KenPom and NET data shaping postseason hopes, the looming Pac-12 transition and critical conference matchups upcoming against Santa Clara and Saint Mary’s make this a pivotal moment.
