Men’s Power Rankings: Houston joins Purdue, UConn for the No. 1 debate

Men’s Power Rankings: Every team’s needs going forward

Then the Huskies got dropped at Seton Hall by 15 points, and Arizona lost to Florida Atlantic in Las Vegas. How far do both squads drop? Well, not that far. Arizona’s defeat by one point in double overtime did more to help FAU than it did to hurt the Wildcats. UConn is a more intriguing […]
