Arizona`s win over Arizona State enhances their NCAA Tournament prospects, while Mississippi State struggles defensively against Texas.

Arizona showcased their offensive prowess by defeating Arizona State 113-100 in a thrilling rivalry game, where defense took a backseat. This victory bolsters Arizona`s NCAA Tournament resume, positioning them as a strong contender with a current ranking of No. 10 in the NCAA NET Rankings and a projected seed between No. 4 and No. 6 for the 2025 NCAA Tournament.

On the other hand, Mississippi State faced a tough loss against Texas, falling 87-82. The Bulldogs struggled defensively, particularly against the three-point line, allowing Texas to hit 11-of-23 attempts from beyond the arc. Despite a commendable performance from Riley Kugel, Mississippi State couldn`t secure the win.

In injury news, Kansas State`s Coleman Hawkins is a game-time decision for their upcoming match against Cincinnati due to a knee injury, adding uncertainty to their lineup. Meanwhile, in the SEC Women’s Basketball Tournament, LSU is seeded third and will enter the competition with a bye, eagerly awaiting their first matchup on March 7.
