Men’s Power Rankings: Houston’s ceiling, Arizona’s reset, Auburn’s rise
That leaves Houston as the only undefeated team left in Division I men’s college basketball in 2023-24, but how good, really, are the Cougars? They have the best defense in the country by some margin, ranking No. 1 in adjusted defensive efficiency, turnover percentage, 2-point defense, block percentage and steal percentage — and a lowly […]

Williams had applied for a waiver for an extra year, but his initial request was denied. He and the school appealed the NCAA’s decision, but that was denied this week as well. “We are extremely disappointed a waiver for an additional year of eligibility for DeAndre Williams was denied, which came following a request for […]

With Baylor getting Jared Butler and MaCio Teague back, the Bears move to the top of the preseason rankings. There’s a tier of three teams atop the rest of the country this season, with Baylor, Villanova and Gonzaga separating themselves from the pack — on paper, at least. But Baylor will have the most continuity […]

That gives us about a month and a half before we’ll know what the college basketball landscape will look like for the upcoming season, though players will announce their draft decisions before then, too. There are also non-draft decisions that will impact the rankings between now and then, with several noteworthy transfers still on the […]
