In an exciting weekend of college basketball, Memphis and Northwestern celebrated Super Bowl Sunday with triumphant victories over Tulane and Penn State respectively. These wins have significant implications for both teams as they battle to make a mark in their respective brackets.

Memphis Tigers, still striving to climb back into the top rankings, showcased their determination as they emerged victorious against Tulane. The Tigers' relentless efforts paid off in their quest to regain their position in the bracket. On the other hand, the Wildcats of Northwestern managed to hold their ground in the bracket thanks to their win against Penn State.

While Memphis and Northwestern tasted success on Super Bowl Sunday, two other teams face crucial games this week. Duke University prepares to face off against the Demon Deacons of Wake Forest on Monday at 7 p.m. The Demon Deacons have an opportunity to secure their first Quad 1 win and first quality win away from home, both significant milestones for their season. However, defeating Duke will not be an easy task, as Wake Forest has not won against Duke since 1999.

TCU also faces a vital game against West Virginia on Monday at 8 p.m. For the Horned Frogs, this game carries immense importance, as a loss to the Mountaineers would mark their worst performance of the season. The team aims to avoid this setback, especially when four of their next six games will be played on the road.

The Texas Tech Red Raiders will be without Kevin McCullar as they prepare to host Kansas on Monday at 9 p.m. This absence will be good news for the Red Raiders, who are determined to secure a win against Kansas. A victory in this game would mark their fourth Quad 1 win, an impressive accomplishment despite their five losses. However, Texas Tech's upcoming schedule holds additional challenges, with four out of their next six games taking place on the road.

As college basketball season heats up, teams such as Memphis, Northwestern, Wake Forest, TCU, Texas Tech, and Kansas find themselves in critical matchups. Each game serves as an opportunity for these teams to shape their path in the brackets, navigate challenging schedules, and emerge victorious.

It will be intriguing to see how these teams fare in the upcoming games and how their performances influence their positions in the college basketball brackets.
