NCAA Rankings – “Week 17″

February 27, 2012 1 comment

The Kansas Jayhawks probably has the biggest win last week by defeating at the time number 3 Missouri Tigers in OT after being down 15 in the 2nd half. This propelled the Jayhawks into the top 4 of the rankings heading in to the last week of conference play. A lot is still up for grabs though, as all potential number 1 seeds for the NCAA Tournament there is about 6 teams fighting for the final 2. Right now only Kentucky and Syracuse are pretty much a lock for number 1 seeds. Of course all that can change in a hurry, once again all we can do it sit back and watch it all play out. I love this time of year.

NCAA Rankings – “Week 15″

February 13, 2012 1 comment

Wow, what a week of basketball. Rivalry Week definitely lived up to the hype once again. The best nightwas Wednesday night where Syracuse took on and beat Georgetown in a highly defensive game. Then in the late game that night, probably the best rivalry in sports Duke vs North Carolina and of course they certainly didn’t disappoint. A close first half led into a 2nd half where North Carolina took a big lead. It looked like the game was over until Duke made the comeback. Then all of a sudden while being down by 1 Austin Rivers got the ball in his hands and the rest is history, a 3 at the buzzer and Duke wins. Another great chapter written in this rivalry, this win propelled the Blue Devils back into the Top 5 this week. Kentucky is still the number 1 team in the country. This weeks full rankings down below.

The Kentucky Wildcats still remain on top of the NCAA rankings by unanimously gaining all the number 1 votes. Deep into the SEC play they remain consistently pounding teams with their uptempo play and great defense. The rest of the top 5 did a bit of a flip flop.  Check out the full rankings below.
