Florida continues to rise in the SEC winning five straight and improving to 15-5. Yesterday, the Gators upset No. 11 LSU. Iowa State drops two straight including a blowout by Baylor yesterday. Tennessee rises to a 1-Seed. I believe Tennessee could be better than South Carolina at this point. A noteworthy performance by Kansas State’s Ayoka Lee as she breaks the D1 NCAA record for most points scored in a women’s game with 61. I have the Wildcats as a 8-Seed in the latest bracketology but they could continue to rise.
