Boise State Climbs as Penn State Struggles Again

Boise State rises in rankings while Penn State struggles; Vanderbilt and Florida face challenges ahead.

Boise State`s NCAA NET Ranking improved to No. 46 after other Mountain West Conference teams competed, despite being idle. San Diego State staged a thrilling comeback against San Jose State, winning 69-66, while Utah State secured a 93-85 victory over Colorado State. New Mexico leads the MWC at No. 37 in the NET, showcasing a strong NCAA Tournament resume with a 9-2 record against Quad 1 and 2 opponents.

In the Big Ten Conference, Penn State`s woes continued with a crushing defeat to USC, marking their sixth straight loss. The Nittany Lions allowed a season-high 92 points, with USC shooting an impressive 75% from beyond the arc in the second half. Penn State now sits at 13-12 overall and 3-11 in the Big Ten, facing an uphill battle to qualify for the conference tournament. Ace Baldwin Jr. led the team with 15 points, while freshman Dominick Stewart contributed a career-high 13 points.

Vanderbilt remains in contention for the NCAA Tournament despite a narrow loss to Auburn, currently ranked No. 42 in the NET. Their Q1 record stands at 2-6, but upcoming games present opportunities for improvement.

In the Southeastern Conference, Florida faced a setback with sophomore forward Alex Condon suffering an ankle injury early in the game against Mississippi State. Condon had been a key player, averaging 18 points and 9.5 rebounds in recent outings.

Missouri`s coach Dennis Gates expressed his long-term vision for the program, aiming for SEC championships and a Final Four appearance, highlighting the progress made during his tenure.
