Arizona hasn't just racked up elite wins - the Wildcats have dominated in different ways, showing the ability to beat high level teams at their own game. Arizona's biggest strength is its lack of weaknesses. From Weekend Under Review:

Marquette is in as bad of shape as the program has been in under Shaka Smart. I don't believe Smart's job is in danger, but the Golden Eagles are running out to time to find an identity this season. From Weekend Under Review:

Brayden Burries is getting the headlines following Arizona's win, but the play of fellow freshman Ivan Kharchenkov has been just as vital to their success. Today's #RaufReport dives into Kharchenkov's impact with notes on Illinois, Texas Tech & more ($): www.basketunderreview.com/rauf-report-...

BYU's strong 2nd half against Clemson is indicative of who the Cougars have been all season. The Cougars are a 2nd-half team -- and the data backs it up. Breaking down BYU's 1H vs 2H splits on Weekend Under Review:

Florida's frontcourt gives the Gators a high floor. But the backcourt is letting them down, particularly Boogie Fland. Fland's regression in the playmaking department is the biggest problem facing Florida right now, which I discussed on Weekend Under Review at Basket Under Review.

The dichotomy between BYU’s 1st/2nd half play vs Clemson is part of a larger trend with the Cougars. I dive into that in today’s #RaufReport at Basket Under Review, along with a look at Iowa State’s secret star, a (pleasant) surprise for Michigan and more! www.basketunderreview.com/rauf-report-...

Cam Boozer has turned into Duke's de facto point guard late in close games, and his playmaking has made all the difference for the Blue Devils the last two weeks. I talked about Boozer's clutch playmaking on Weekend Under Review:

When Duke needs a bucket late, the Blue Devils are turning to Cam Boozer to be their PG - and it's working. A new #RaufReport dives into Boozer's late-game brilliance along with some troubling Nate Ament stats & much, much more. For Basket Under Review($): www.basketunderreview.com/rauf-report-...

Purdue has a national title ceiling, but reaching that ceiling is dependent upon the Boilers figuring out how to maximize a frontcourt rotation with three bigs anchored to the paint. Is that a puzzle they can solve? From July, for Basket Under Review: www.basketunderreview.com/purdues-fron...

Inside NC State's fearless offseason, for Basket Under Review www.basketunderreview.com/the-reawaken...

Florida entered the NCAA Tournament as one of the favorites to win, but the path it took to cut down the nets was historically improbable. “We showed up, man. We never blinked.” On Florida’s comeback kids, from San Antonio: heatcheckcbb.com/we-never-bli...

"Houston doesn’t belong in the underdog role. This wasn’t David vs. Goliath. It was Godzilla vs. Kong."

Duke’s collapse against Houston was startling - but the reaction from it is overblown. Why two atrocious minutes shouldn’t dictate our view of Cooper Flagg, Jon Scheyer or Duke’s ceiling under his leadership. From San Antonio: heatcheckcbb.com/duke-basketb...

Houston is embracing its role as this Final Four’s underdog, but that role doesn’t fit this team’s accomplishments. The Cougars belong in the conversation with the all-time great teams, and it’s time we gave them the proper respect. From San Antonio: heatcheckcbb.com/houston-bask...
