Florida, Wisconsin fuel bubble drama as St. John’s clinches Big East title

Saturday reshaped the NCAA tournament bubble: Florida moved into No. 1-seed momentum after beating Kentucky, while UConn slipped; Wisconsin handed Purdue a loss on Senior Day; St. John’s clinched the Big East regular-season title. Duke beat UNC; BYU snapped a three-game skid with a rally over Texas Tech; NC State’s at-large hopes dimmed and Virginia Tech’s bubble prospects worsened. Cincinnati and SMU stumbled, Duquesne staged a historic comeback to beat Richmond, Auburn slid, St. Thomas’ season ended, and Kansas’ Darryn Peterson along with Tennessee State provided late-season sparks.
