Arizona makes a statement and climbs to No. 1 in the AP Poll after obliterating Auburn 97–68 — and now all eyes turn to a massive 1 vs 12 showdown with Alabama.
Meanwhile, Iowa State sends shockwaves through the rankings, dismantling Purdue 81–58 behind lights-out shooting and balanced scoring. What went wrong for the Boilermakers, and what does this mean for their ceiling?

We break down:

  • Iowa State’s dominant win over Purdue and the stat lines that tell the real story
  • Purdue’s shooting struggles vs ISU’s efficiency explosion
  • Whether the selection committee finally got it right
  • Arizona, Michigan, Duke, Iowa State, UConn, Purdue, Houston, Gonzaga, Michigan State & BYU — who’s real and who’s vulnerable
  • Kansas gets a major boost as freshman phenom Darryn Peterson returns, dropping 17 in a rivalry win over Missouri and reshaping the Jayhawks’ outlook heading into a brutal stretch

Rankings debates, statement wins, and March implications — we’re breaking it all down.
