The Cougars overcame six-point deficits with 1:09 remaining in regulation and eight seconds left in overtime to beat KU

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (AP) — Duke's run of running over Atlantic Coast Conference opponents had given way to a stream of missed shots, turnovers and rising pressure from a surging home team backed by a rowdy crowd.

A glimpse at Duke's stacked, but not elite, class, unusually territory for Kelvin Sampson and Houston, a reload at UConn, what's going on with Arkansas and Kentucky, and how the uncommitted five-stars could impact the final team rankings.

Duke basketball has not lost a game since the end of November. Now, they currently hold the nation's longest active winning streak and here is why.

ESPN college basketball analyst Jay Bilas disagrees with ESPN's Andraya Carter about what the ceiling is for Auburn basketball in 2024-25.

Maluach 0-0 0-0 0, James 1-6 0-0 3, Proctor 2-12 1-2 6, Flagg 8-16 7-9 24, Knueppel 5-12 2-4 15, Gillis 4-7 0-0 11, Ngongba 1-2 2-2 4, Foster 0-2 0-0 0, Evans 0-0 0-0 0. Totals 21-57 12-17 63.

The Cougars are still looking for their first Quad 1 win of the season

Duke - An elite rim defense paired with an offense that generates a ton of wide-open 3-pointers is good business. That's what Duke is doing right now at a high level. It's eerily similar to UConn's recipe for winning the National Title last year. As unfair as it sounds, it's shaping up to be Final Four or bust for Jon Scheyer at this rate.

After three frustrating last-minute losses in nonconference play, the Houston Cougars have hit their stride. Kelvin Sampson's team has won 10 consecutive games

The buzz around Khaman Maluach entering college centered on his 7-foot-2 size, incredible wingspan and ability to block shots. While he's been a deterrent for opponents around the rim -- Duke ranks second in 2-point defense nationally -- Maluach is also starting to come on as a consistent offensive piece.

Auburn is back in the top spot in Monday’s KenPom update after going 2-0 in SEC play last week. The Tigers jump Duke for the No. 1 slot by creating separation in the efficiency margin category. Auburn begins the week with a +36.03 efficiency margin, Duke is No. 2 with a margin of +35.67.

Despite Iowa State ’s 64-57 loss at then-unranked West Virginia, the Cyclones moved down just one spot. While Alabama, Florida and Tennessee stayed put, Michigan State (16-2) and Houston (14-3) made significant jumps.
