Arizona stayed second and received four first-place votes while Michigan received the other No. 1 ballot after its impressive win over No. 8 Michigan State.We've put ourselves in a position to do something special and make a run, Duke coach Jon Scheyer said.The Blue Devils reached No. 1 in the AP poll for the first time on Dec. 13, 1965, and they've spent more time there than any other men's basketball program. UCLA is second with 134 weeks on top while Kentucky is third (125).Now, Scheyer's crew heads into the ACC Tournament as the No. 1 seed, but potentially without two of their starters. Patrick Ngongba II and Caleb Foster both were wearing boots in the second half of Duke's win over the Tar Heels on Saturday.I'd be shocked if both of them are playing (in the conference tournament), Scheyer said.

The Carolina Panthers nearly landed defensive tackle Milton Williams in free agency from the Philadelphia Eagles last offseason before seeing him go to the New England Patriots at the last minute. This offseason, the Panthers wouldn't be denied from landing a standout on the Eagles' defensive line. Edge rusher Jaelan Phillips has agreed to a four-year, $120 million deal with the Panthers, ESPN reported Monday. The deal will reportedly include $80 million in guaranteed money. Phillips had only five sacks last season with the Miami Dolphins and Eagles, but he was better than what his sack numbers suggest. He had an impressive 73 pressures, which ranked ninth among all edge rushers, per PFF. Forty-one of those came in his eight games with Philadelphia, proving to be a good fit in defensive coordinator Vic Fangio's system after Philadelphia surrendered a third-round pick to get him. Phillips was the third-highest-ranked edge rusher in our top 100 free agents list. He was also the 10th-highest-ranked overall player in the ranking. Here's what our Greg Auman had to say about Phillips' free agency. "Phillips, 26, got traded at the deadline when the Dolphins decided they weren't going to be able to keep him, but it was an underwhelming 2025 two sacks in eight games with the Eagles after three sacks in nine games with the Dolphins," Auman wrote. "He's had injury concerns in the past and has 28 total sacks in five NFL seasons, peaking with 8.5 as a rookie in 2021. Phillips' pressure rates were solid and he's drawn praise from Vic Fangio."
