The Baylor Bears have held onto to the stop spot in the rankings for five straight weeks, longer than any other team this NCAA basketball season.

The Los Angeles Athletic Club on Monday announced the watch list for this year’s Wooden Award. Compiled with a poll of national college basketball experts, the list is based on players’ performance during the first half of the season and aims to identify the front-runners for the Wooden Award, college basketball’s highest individual honor, as well as the John R. Wooden Award All-American Team.

The Blue Devils lost back-to-back games last week for the first time since February 2018. After the first loss to unranked Clemson, ESPN opined that the Blue Devils were nonetheless underrated, but two days later they lost at home to #11 Louisville. So is Duke really underrated? They’re 2-1 against ranked teams and have a point differential of 18.4… they’re obviously very good.
