Connecticut 72, Notre Dame 65: Another hit to Notre Dame’s NCAA Tournament hopes. A win here might have put them a lot closer to “lock” status.
Oklahoma 78, Texas Tech 63: Blake Griffin showed no ill effects in his return, going for 22 points and 19 rebounds, and also diving over the score’s table for a loose ball. Concussion? What concussion?
Oklahoma State 68, Texas 59: Who would have thought that the Cowboys and Longhorns would have identical Big 12 records this late in the season?
Georgetown 56, Villanova 54: Too little, too late for the Hoyas? It all depends on what they do in the next two weeks.
Florida State 73, Clemson 66: If the Seminoles weren’t seen as an NCAA Tournament lock already, this should put them there.
Washington 83, Arizona 78: The Huskies clinch at least a tie for the Pac-10 regular season title, something that probably no one outside of Seattle expected back in October.
Washington State 51, Arizona State 49 (OT): The Cougars remain hot late in the season, sweeping the Arizona schools just like cross-state rival Washington did.
Stanford 75, USC 63: The Trojans really needed this game for their NCAA Tournament at-large hopes as it drops them to 7-9.
LSU 73, Kentucky 70: This home loss wasn’t what the Wildcats needed, as they continue to slide after at one point looking like they might be a lock for the NCAA Tournament.
Butler 58, Cleveland State 56: The Bulldogs clinched the Horizon League with this win, something that seemed like a foregone conclusion a few weeks ago.
Brigham Young 63, Utah 50: The race for an at-large among Mountain West teams got a little more interesting with this one in Provo.

UT-Martin 79, Morehead State 65: UT-Martin wins its first-ever Ohio Valley regular season championship.
Harvard 71, Cornell 70: This was the surprise of the night in the Ivy League, as the Crimson send off their seniors on a good note. They also prevented the Big Red from clinching a share of the Ivy League title.
