Wisconsin is playing well at a good time, and the Badgers kept that up by winning on the road against another team playing well of late. Plus a couple of regular season titles are still to be decided, while a first-year Division I team claims at least a share of a conference title and overtime is needed in a key Conference USA game.
Experienced but very small, Montana and its terrific backcourt played through a key injury to own the Big Sky for the second straight year
Few have been talking about the ACC regular season co-champions despite the incredible season they have had. Plus one team is now officially in the field, upsets rule a couple of conference tournaments, and one team backs into an outright regular season title.

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.

Gonzaga finally gets back to where they made it 16 years earlier, when they first rose to prominence. Plus a distinguished group of coaching winners, a few more coaching moves, and a big man plans to help a Big Ten team.
A wild day of conference tournament action had a few endings that just can’t be explained. Plus an ejection in Nashville, controversy in the Big Sky, and a day full of championship games is right in front of us.
Tuesday night was ready to be pronounced as quite the dud, one of the more disappointing nights of the young season so far when it comes to anticipated games not being competitive.
