With only a few weeks in the university basketball season, there seems to be a group of teams at the top of sport now. These teams have won their reputation at this point in the season, but it also makes their upheavals even more important. With this, Gary Parrish of CBS Sports has updated his university basketball Rankings of the first 25 and 1 To reflect the most recent games.
These more recent rankings arrive in the middle of the week after a crazy Tuesday evening list in university basketball. This included several upheavals that led to these rankings to shake again, in particular by adding a new team at the top 10.
Keeping all this in mind, here is an overview of the way Parrish classifies high-end university basketball teams this season.
Previous classification: 1
Auburn Tigers remain at the top of the first 25 and 1 CBS rankings for university basketball. This is not a surprise because the good times have continued to ride for the tigers, because they are now on a sequence of two consecutive victories after Florida gave them their only defeat of the dry this season. This includes beating your Alabama rival in an incredibly important match last weekend.
With six regular season games in Auburn, the Tigers have an advance of a match on the Tide Crimson and a two -game advance on the Gators in the current conference classification. Thus, tigers seek to keep at this stage and continue to build their CV for Mars. Which starts Wednesday against the Arkansas Razorbacks.
Previous classification: 2
Upon entering the last weekend, Alabama had the chance to take a step in the dry classification and to drop Auburn, but they failed. It was a difficult loss, but not the one that will ruin the season of Crimson Tide. It is always one of the best university basketball teams in the country that seems to be online for a high-level seed in March.
Alabama is back on Wednesday against the Missouri Tigers, seeking to bounce back from this defeat in Auburn. This is their first opportunity to do so, and the key will not be to let Auburn be beat them twice, and find a way to focus on reading a very good Missouri team capable of removing the upheaval.
Previous classification: 3
The Florida Gators are still third in the dry and third classification in the first 25 and 1 CBS rankings. After beating Oklahoma Tuesday 22 points, Florida is now on a sequence of five consecutive victories since he abandoned a difficult match on the road against Tennessee. Meanwhile, they beat two classified opponents, including Auburn.
With five games to play and sit in two games behind Auburn in the standings, it will be difficult to catch up with the tigers in the dry classification. Of course, this is not impossible. Florida will have to be almost perfect with their last three games against teams appearing in the classification of 25 and 1 Top 25, including Alabama. First of all, however, the Gators will have to survive a road trip to the Lsu tigers.
Previous classification: 4
Duke is the best classified team in the first 25 and 1 so as not to come from dry. Instead, the Blue Devils seated at the top of the ACC at 23-3 in total and 15-1 at a conference. Their most recent match took place on Monday when they beat Virginia by 18 comfortable points. It was their third consecutive victory since their upheaval by the Clemson Tigers.
Then Duke has an interesting match without a conference at the end of the season against Illinois. After that, they will return to ACC Play for the last four games. Thus, the race for the regular season of the ACC has not yet been fully secure. At the same time, it is difficult not to admit that Duke is in the driver’s headquarters and is once again one of the best teams from all university basketball.
Previous classification: 5
The Houston Cougars are at the head of the Big 12 at this stage of the season, which is still one of the best conferences in university basketball. The last Houston match took place Tuesday against Arizona State. A comfortable 15 -point victory, the cougars have now won five games in a row.
At 22-4 in total and 14-1 at a conference, with their only defeat in Texas Tech, Houston seems to control the big 12. Second place, Arizona, is two games behind the cougars and only five games left . At the same time, it will be a difficult section for Houston, playing at Iowa State and Texas Tech in its next games, so cougars must be on their game.
Previous classification: 6
Tennessee volunteers are the next SEC team. After a little gap, it is clear that CBS considers volunteers as a slight step behind the three best teams of the conference at this stage. At the same time as that, Tennessee has also proven that it is able to beat anyone this season. Volunteers have not played since Saturday now when they beat the Vanderbilt Commodores.
Bringing then is a very interesting road test against the Texas A&M AGGIES. Another of the best teams not only in the dry, but all academic basketball, the Aggies seek to prove themselves in many ways. Thus, volunteers must be ready. Running for the Crown of the regular dry season is probably out of reach, but putting yourself in position for the playoffs is the key.
Previous classification: 9
Wisconsin badgers quickly increase in the ranking of the first 25 and 1. It is following a sequence of five consecutive victories, including large victories. The most recent of them was against Illinois, which is a very respected team, but the badgers eliminated relatively easily in a 95-74 final in a match where the Illini fought against the disease.
In particular, although it is the best rated Big Ten team in these rankings, badgers drag in the standings at this stage. The two schools in the Michigan State are still ahead of the badgers. It is in a conference where six different teams have at least 10 conference victories. It is therefore a tight race with only five games to play.
Previous classification: 8
Then, in the first 25 and 1, CBS returned to the Big 12 with the Iowa state cyclones. The winners of four consecutive games, the cyclones try to make a boost at the end of the season for the summit in the conference classification. More recently, the state of the Iowa took care of the business in a 14 -point victory on the Colorado Buffaloes.
Iowa state cyclones now have three games behind Houston with five regular season games to play. To catch them, the state of the iowa should be almost perfect while cougars should have trouble. It makes their next match, head-to-face against each other, much more important. A victory would potentially make the race interesting for Iowa State.
Previous classification: 7
The Texas A & M Aggies are still in the top 10 of the first 25 and 1. It is despite a defeat against the state of Mississippi on Tuesday. However, the loss of 16 points forced the Aggies to slip back into these rankings, perhaps without surprise. At the same time, they are still there for their excellent global work this season.
Now sitting at 9-4 in the SEC matches and fourth place in the conference classification, it will be difficult to compete to win the conference in the regular season at this stadium. However, the Aggies are in a good place to win a high series in the NCAA tournament. Then, the Aggies will welcome the volunteers of Tennessee, seeking to avoid a second consecutive loss.
Previous classification: 11
Rick Pitino is one of the best university basketball coaches for a reason. St. John’s surprised a lot of people by surprise. Now they have cracked the first 25 of CBS and 1 of the Big East, which means that five conferences are represented in the top 10 at this stage. St. John’s was able to do it at the back of the victories in 11 of their last 12 games, including Creighton last Sunday.
At 13-2 in Big East Play, St. John’s has a slight cushion in the Big East classification in front of Marquette, Creighton, and Uconn. It is a two -game cushion in total with five games to play, so nothing has yet been won in the regular season. This last series of matches begins Wednesday evening against DEPAUL In another conference match.
