Villanova's 2016 NCAA title team earns virtual bragging rights over 2018 counterpart
For the past few years, members of Villanova's 2016 and 2018 national title teams have bickered about a hypothetical matchup: Who would win if the two teams faced each other on the hardwood? That still isn't clear. But bragging rights, for now, go to the 2016 squad after its 57-55 win over the 2018 team in a simulated video-game matchup on Monday. The 2016 squad, which recorded a 35-5 season punctuated by Kris Jenkins' miracle buzzer-beater to defeat North Carolina in the national title game, controlled the virtual matchup against the 2018 squad, which finished 36-4 and beat every team it faced in that year's NCAA tournament by double digits.

College basketball recruiting rankings: Kentucky edges UNC, Duke for 2020's top class
In more years than not since John Calipari has been on the job at Kentucky, he's finished with the No. 1 recruiting class in the country. The Hall of Famer bolstered that track record officially on Tuesday as the 247Sports Composite Team Rankings went final for the 2020 cycle, with the Wildcats finishing on top for the sixth time in Calipari's 11 years leading UK. The Wildcats edged out North Carolina and Duke to claim the No. 1 spot, thus ending a four-year drought during which Duke laid claim to the top spot in three of the four years and Memphis last year slid in to boast the top class, led by No. 1 overall recruit James Wiseman. Kentucky finished second in each of the years during that span.

Kentucky and Duke basketball lead our ranking of the 25 best recruiting classes of the one-and-done era
By "history," we mean the one-and-done era. The NBA's eligibility rule has been the law of the recruiting land now for 15 years. Plenty long enough, in other words, to compile some rankings.
