So over the past month one of the biggest sports talk is happening and it’s not college football. College basketball has taken over since the playoffs of football don’t return until January. Before the season even started the talks were all about Duke, Kanas and Michigan state. This has been the same through out the season.
Duke is looking to get to the National Championship again. The last time they were in the championship was the year of 2015 which they faced Wisconsin and won their fifth title. Marvin Bagley and Grayson Allen have been leading the teams to Victory. They are 10-0. One of dukes biggest win this year was over the number 5 ranked team Florida. They were down 13 and came back to win 87-84.
Next the number two ranked team kanas has been putting on a show. It has also been awhile since Kansas has been in a national championship. It was 2012. The player that has been leading the kanas Jayhawks to victory has been Lagerald Vick. They have a record of 7-1 so far. Now the biggest win for Kanas was their win over number eight Kentucky. Just winning against a ranked team will help your rank. They ended up winning 65-61.
The Michigan State Spartans have showed up this year. They are surprising the United States. They are ranked number 3 with an 8-1 record and they lost to the number one ranked duke. They lost 88-81. One of their best games was a lost because they put up such a good battle. The game was back and forth until the final minutes.Miles bridges is one of the top college athletes and is leading the Spartans to victory.
