The race to grab one of the four top seeds in the NCAA men's tournament is heating up. Who's at the top currently and who is right behind?

Auburn and Iowa State extended their winning streaks this week to nine and 12 games, respectively, further entrenching themselves at the top of the men's college basketball power rankings as both handled top-15 opponents at home with ease -- Auburn against No.

Duke last ranked No. 2 in the 2023-24 preseason. It last ranked No. 1 in late November of the 2021-22 season, Mike Krzyzewski's last at the helm. Stay tuned to Duke Blue Devils On SI for more Duke basketball news.

Duke football has three opponents next season who were ranked in the final Associated Press Top 25 poll. That’s in addition to games against in-state ACC rivals UNC, NC State and Wake Forest.

College basketball tiers took shape in non-conference play when many of the top teams squared off against each other, but now that league action is underway, the grueling demands of the season truly separate the best from the rest.

Duke men’s basketball stayed at No. 2 in this week’s AP Poll despite some shakeups further down. The Blue Zone gives it thoughts on the changes on the weekly rankings.

Alabama coach Nate Oats sent a message with the benching of star Mark Sears. Here's what Oats said of his decision to bench Sears vs. LSU:

No. 19 Memphis visits the Tulane Green Wave after PJ Haggerty scored 23 points in the Tigers' 100-77 victory against the UAB Blazers.

UCLA, the only unbeaten Division I team remaining, is on track to continue its best season in program history.

Auburn continues to hold the top spot, while Tennessee, Kentucky, Ole Miss and UConn drop in the latest college basketball rankings. The post Reactions To The Latest Men’s College Basketball Rankings appeared first on Stadium Rant.

Kentucky (15-5, 4-3) is having an impressive debut season under Mark Pope. The Wildcats are three losses back of Auburn in the SEC title race, but all metrics have the Cats as a top-20 team. Pope’s first group proved that again in Knoxville on Tuesday.

Pope took over after John Calipari left for Arkansas in a stunning turn of events. However, Pope wasted no time winning over the fanbase, especially since he is a former Kencutky basketball player. Moreover, moves such as this one only helped Pope's case more, and fans were excited to see the fan interaction with the Wildcats coach.
