Duke has overtaken Auburn as the new No. 1 in the latest college basketball power rankings. The Blue Devils, who have won a nation-leading 12 consecutive games, have a net rating of 36.71 en route to a 16-2 start -- the best in KenPom.

March Madness is still a couple of months away, but the quest for quality victories is well underway for the men’s basketball teams hoping to participate in the NCAA tournament. In truth, it began way back in November, and of course it continues this weekend.

The Duke Blue Devils extended the nation’s longest winning streak to 12 games, surviving Boston College’s early hot shooting and physical play to beat the Eagles behind Cooper Flagg’s 28 points.
