This Friday night was not so ho-hum with three big matchups on tap. Plus ACC teams will be minus some manpower, and an arrest in Illinois is the latest in a tough season.

On a day where few underdogs won, as opposed to the day before, the heroes were fitting named Valentine and Balentine. Plus a missed opportunity in Florida, a tie emerges out west, and a couple of wild games in the east.

Remember when all the talk was about how that Kansas streak of 11 consecutive Big 12 titles was in serious jeopardy? It was barely a week ago, but right now might feel like two decades ago.

Dayton is having success it hasn’t had before, and it continued on Friday. Plus a controversial call has a new twist, one suspended player will return while another is now long gone.
