Tar Heels win but drop in bracketology; Tennessee`s buzzer-beater shakes SEC standings. Maryland struggles with mixed results.

North Carolina Tar Heels continue their impressive run with a decisive victory over the Miami Hurricanes, marking their fifth consecutive win and fourth straight double-digit margin victory. Despite this success, they have slipped one spot in ESPN`s bracketology, now sitting third among teams projected to miss the NCAA Tournament, three spots outside the field.

In the SEC, Tennessee Volunteers made headlines with a thrilling buzzer-beater win against Alabama, thanks to Jahmai Mashack`s clutch three-pointer. This dramatic finish has shaken up the top-25 rankings, although Alabama is expected to maintain its position in the top-10.

Meanwhile, Maryland`s basketball team faced a mixed week, managing to defeat Penn State but suffering a setback against Michigan State. Their performance has resulted in a slight dip in power rankings, reflecting the challenges they encountered during the week.

The Tar Heels` recent victory has improved their NCAA NET Rankings from No. 45 to No. 42, showcasing their potential as they aim for a spot in the tournament. The Volunteers` win over Alabama not only impacts their standing in the SEC but also adds excitement to the conference as the season progresses.
