BYU's defense has slipped in KenPom rankings, now 56th and 55th in AdjD and eFG%. Offense remains strong. Tough test against Baylor, ranked 6th in AdjO. NC State beats Clemson, moving up to 5th in ACC standings. Virginia Tech rises to 8th in AP women's basketball poll.
Yes, #UVA offense looks as bad as it has at other points in this season. 8 for 25 shooting and 0 for 5 from 3, with four turnovers. But #Hokies defense was LOCKED IN. Mike Young's bunch was tough on and off the ball that half. Great stuff from the home team.
#Hokies have been to line five times in first nine minutes. Attempted four the entire night in loss at #UVa.

No. 25 BYU v. No. 11 Baylor will be ranked v. ranked for the second time this season. Back on Jan. 9, BYU went to Waco ranked 18th, while the Bears were ranked 14th. In a game with eight ties and 16 lead changes, Baylor came back from down as many as nine to win by nine, 81-72.

Duke moves up to 8th overall, top ranking in the ACC, in the AP Poll. #8 Duke #10 UNC
Virginia dropped just out of the AP Top 25 Poll following the loss to Pitt on Tuesday. #UNC is now No. 10 (previously No. 7) following the loss to Syracuse. So we will not have a top 25 matchup when the Tar Heels travel to Charlottesville this weekend to take on the Cavaliers.
Saint Mary's remains at No. 18 in AP poll after winning 13th straight game. Washington State jumps in at No. 21 for Cougars' first ranking since being No. 21 in final poll of 2007-08 season

NEW NOISE! *Slightly* important matchup in the Big 12 tonight between Iowa St/Houston. My thoughts and pick only on The Gaming Juice (Or simply THE JUICE). Read below! https://t.co/hZqysXp4u6
For #Hokies, turnovers will be key Monday vs. #UVA. Tech averaged 11.7 in its past three losses to the 'Hoos, while committing just seven a game in its past two wins. "They’re active, they’re aggressive. We’ve got to negate that," Tech's Tyler Nickel said. https://t.co/uCnumqUkWo
No. 21 #UVA has won four straight road games, but knows Monday night's meeting with the #Hokies at Cassell Coliseum will be "intense." "It’s hard to play in that environment." https://t.co/uCnumqUkWo
USC women cool off Oregon St with a 58-50 win. That creates a 3-way for 2nd in the Pac-12 with 4 games left. Based on tie-breakers, here's the top 4 seeds if the conference tourney started tomorrow: 1. Stanford, 12-2 2. USC, 10-4 3. Oregon State, 10-4 4. Colorado, 10-4 #cubuffs
In a season of disappointments, #Tulane basketball team is enduring its worst stretch in the last five minutes against ECU. Careless passes. Inattentive defense. Lack of energy.
The week that was in the @AP_Top25 men’s basketball poll. Ranked teams to lose: 2. Purdue 4. Marquette 6. Kansas 7. North Carolina 11. South Carolina x 2 13. Auburn 19. BYU 20. Wisconsin 21. Virginia 23. Indiana State x 2 24. FAU 25. Oklahoma x 2
#Tulane trails ECU 38-33 at halftime in men's hoops. Wave led 15-7 early but stopped making much effort to guard the 3-point line afterward. Pirates 8 of 12 on treys and several were totally unguarded.
Nos. 19-25 in the AP poll last week: No. 19 #BYU: 1-1 No. 20 #Wisconsin: 1-1 No. 21 #Virginia: 1-1 No. 22 #Kentucky: 2-0 No. 23 #IndianaSt: 0-2 No. 24 #FAU: 1-1 No. 24 #Oklahoma: 0-2 #WSU should crack the Top 25 for the first time since 2008. Pathway back for #Gonzaga too.
Something to watch. N.C. State is currently one spot ahead of Louisville in the ACC standings (third and fourth). Both teams are 10-3 in conference play. https://t.co/StrsjEHGyX
BYU remains in the NET top 10, dipping a single spot to 10th after Saturday’s setback at Oklahoma State. BYU has been in the NET top 10 in every daily ranking since the first release in early December. With its win over BYU, OSU moved up nine spots to 126th in NET, putting…
Clemson fell from No. 25 to No. 28 in the NET after last night's L to N.C. State. N.C. State up from No. 83 to No. 76. It's currently a Quad 3 loss, but, if you're a Clemson fan, you hope the Wolfpack keep winning, move into the top 75, and it's Quad 2. https://t.co/3kDNeP31if
NC State's win at Clemson last night pushed the Wolfpack to 76 in the NET rankings - just 1 spot outside the range needed for Pitt's win in Raleigh to be a Quad 1 win.
BYU starts the day 16th in KenPom; BYU has been in the KenPom top 20 every day for the last three months. Saturday’s loss in Stillwater was BYU’s first setback this season to a team outside of the KenPom or NET top 50.

12 days ago, BYU was top-25 in both KenPom AdjD and eFG% defense; BYU is now 56th and 55th in those categories. Offense is still producing (8th in AdjO and 15th in eFG%), but defense has seen slippage. Tough test on Tuesday: Baylor is 6th in AdjO, 10th in eFG%, 3rd in 3PFG%.
