Division II's Daemen, the last unbeaten NCAA men's team this season, takes its 1st loss
AMHERST, N.Y. (AP) — There are no unbeaten teams left in NCAA men's college basketball — at any level.
Daemen University, located in the Buffalo, New York, suburb of Amherst, lost in the Division II men's tournament on Sunday night. The Wildcats were defeated by St. Thomas Aquinas in the second round of the East Regional, 79-74.
Daemen (28-1) was 3-0 against St. Thomas Aquinas this season before the season-ending loss on Sunday.
Tennessee was the last remaining Division I men's unbeaten this season at 14-0 before falling to Florida on Jan. 7. Wesleyan was the last remaining Division III men's unbeaten at 26-0 before it lost to Trinity in the NESCAC championship game on March 2.
The only remaining unbeaten NCAA basketball team left this season is NYU's women's team -- which takes a 29-0 record — and a 60-game winning streak — into Thursday's Division III national semifinals against Wisconsin-Stout in Salem, Virginia.
NYU's women are seeking a second consecutive national championship.

Virginia swimmer Gretchen Walsh wins the Honda Cup, given to top female college athlete
NEW YORK (AP) — Virginia swimmer Gretchen Walsh won the Honda Cup, given annually to the country's top female college athlete, on Monday night. She's the ninth swimmer to win the award and first since Simone Manuel in 2018. 'This year's Honda Cup winner, Gretchen Walsh, is nothing short of world-class,' said Chris Voelz, executive director of the Collegiate Women Sports Awards. 'Her performance at the national championships was extraordinary — shattering collegiate, American and even world records. 'We are incredibly proud of her accomplishments both in the pool and in the classroom, and we look forward to watching her continue to rise as she prepares for the World Championships and the 2028 Olympic Games. We're thrilled to welcome Gretchen to the CWSA family, joining the elite group of swimmers who have earned this prestigious honor before her.' The other two finalists for the award were UConn basketball star Paige Bueckers and Texas Tech softball pitcher NiJaree Canady. The top three were determined by votes from nearly 1,000 NCAA member schools, with the final Honda Cup recipient selected by the CWSA board of directors. Caitlin Clark won the award the previous two years. Walsh was a two-time Honda Award winner for swimming and diving. She helped Virginia to its fourth straight NCAA team title. She won seven NCAA championships this year, including the 50-yard freestyle, 100 freestyle and 100 butterfly, and concluded her collegiate career with 25 NCAA titles (nine individual). She was 16 for 16 in NCAA relay finals in her career. Walsh is the second Honda Cup winner from Virginia. Basketball star Dawn Staley won the award in 1991. In addition to their athletic performance, the Honda Cup honors college athletes for their leadership, academics and community service. ___ AP sports:
