Maryland 88, North Carolina 85 (OT): A huge win for the Terrapins in trying to keep their NCAA Tournament hopes alive. They always seem to get one huge win, and this is it.
Florida State 67, Virginia Tech 65: The Seminoles look more and more like an NCAA Tournament team, getting this tough road win to go to 8-4 in the ACC.
Miami 69, Boston College 58: The Hurricanes sweep Boston College, which can only help to keep their slim at-large hopes alive. But they’re running out of room for error.
Marquette 78, Georgetown 72: The Golden Eagles keep on rolling heading into the big showdown with Connecticut. Meanwhile, Georgetown’s NCAA hopes are on life support.
Texas 73, Oklahoma 68: Even with Blake Griffin not playing much due to injury, the Sooners nearly pulled this one out.
Kansas 70, Nebraska 53: The Jayhawks help set the stage for Monday night’s showdown in Norman for the top of the Big 12.
Missouri 75, Colorado 63: The Tigers stay hot and right in the race for the top, even as they will take a back seat on Monday.
Oklahoma State 84, Baylor 74: Baylor’s once-promising season continues to slip away, as they’re now 4-8 in Big 12 games.
Washington State 82, UCLA 81: They’ve got a ways to go yet, but the Cougars may not be out as an at-large contender after this road win. At 6-9 in the Pac-10 and with 13 overall losses, though, one has to think they don’t have much margin for error at this point.
Oregon State 65, California 54: Craig Robinson continues to get the results in his first season, as the Beavers are 7-8 in Pac-10 play.
Oregon 68, Stanford 60: The Ducks get their first Pac-10 win.
LSU 79, Auburn 72: Quietly, the Tigers keep winning as they add to the best record in the SEC.
Kentucky 77, Tennessee 58: The Vols continue to have a tough time, falling to 7-5 in the SEC.
Butler 75, Davidson 63: A good road win for the Bulldogs, even though Stephen Curry was limited physically in this game.
UNLV 75, Brigham Young 74: This makes the Mountain West race a little more interesting, as the Runnin’ Rebels improve to 8-5 while the Cougars drop to 8-4.
Saint Mary’s 75, Utah State 64: A huge win for the Gaels, one that should lock them up for an NCAA Tournament bid if Patrick Mills comes back and is healthy heading into postseason play. For the Aggies, this solidifies them as a team that will only make it as an automatic qualifier.
Siena 81, Northern Iowa 75: The Saints may not get an at-large bid due to the lack of wins against the top teams they played in non-conference, but this win in one of the more highly-billed Bracketbusters matchups should help them going forward.
Radford 97, VMI 90: The Highlanders remain hot with their eighth straight win and ninth in a row on the road, and they clinch the top sed in the conference tournament.
American 56, Holy Cross 50: The Eagles take sole possession of first place in the Patriot League, and are in the driver’s seat to land the top seed in the tournament.
Dartmouth 66, Princeton 63: How about the Big Green sweeping the Penn/Princeton road weekend? Not to mention, it’s yet another close game they have pulled out.
Harvard 66, Penn 60: The Quakers get swept at home in an Ivy weekend for the second time this season.
