It’s time to talk about the ACC. The annual SEC-ACC Challenge turned into a beatdown this season. After the two conferences tied in 2023, and the SEC had a 10-6 edge in 2024, the affair turned decidedly one-sided in 2025 as the SEC captured 13 of the 16 games.

Despite LSU's dominating win, it was what happened before the game that garnered the attention of many, including Louisiana's governor.

No. 7 Maryland scored 10 straight points with less than a minute remaining in double overtime to beat Minnesota, 100-99, on Sunday.

The Terrapins used three steals, three layups and four free throws to complete a 10-0 run to close the game, denying the Gophers an upset at Williams Arena.

Iowa and Iowa State each saw their names listed when Monday's AP Top 25 poll was revealed. Iowa State came in at No. 10, identical to last week's ranking. Iowa is No. 11, moving up one spot. Both teams are unbeaten. That sets the stage for a massive game this week at Hilton Coliseum (6 p.m. on ESPN).

Iowa women's basketball guard Chit-Chat Wright returned against Rutgers, but exited in the first quarter and is considered day-to-day.

Arizona was narrowly defeated by New Mexico by a final score of 72-69. This is their second consecutive loss coming off of a 6-0 start to the season.
