The Arizona Wildcats have rhymed off five straight wins, needing each one to maintain their one-game lead in the Pac 12. The eighth-ranked team was even able to hand Colorado its first home loss of the season.

Yes, Virginia is pretty much impossible to beat at home. But this was the lowest point total for the Hurricanes in an ACC game, even lower than its paltry 40-point output almost a decade ago to the day (February 25, 2014) — also at Virginia.

In bouncing back from last year’s debacle (15-18), the Spiders are seeking their second NCAA tourney appearance in three years in what’s shaping up as the school’s best effort since winning 24 games in 2019-20. Richmond is even starting to garner top 25 votes, so it’s not inconceivable they could sneak into the rankings before season’s end.

Third-ranked UNC is now 16-3 overall, but more importantly has gone 8-0 in ACC play, with the last seven wins all being by at least 10 points. Man, the Heels are for reals!

LeDee’s breakout as a senior has been driven by massively improved shooting and the development of an outside game. The 6’9″ power forward has an NBA-ready body, but he’ll be 25 in July, so is a long shot to be drafted. Still, don’t be shocked to see LeDee at Summer League with a chance to earn himself an NBA contract.
