• #1 UConn 81, #11 West Virginia 75. UConn just put the finishing touches on a tough road win at West Virginia in the only game of the day between two ranked teams. UConn's big men were just a bit much for Kevin Pittsnogle to handle, but I think he still leads the nation in the amount of ink injected into his skin. Rudy Gay had 14 points, 12 boards, and 5 assists.

• #24 Bucknell 61, Northern Iowa 65. A double overtime thriller between two of the better teams in the country, and two very good defensive teams. I have a feeling Bucknell's going to drop out of the Top 25, though I'd rather see them just move Northern Iowa in. Also, I'm told that someone's bracket was busted.


• Kentucky 79, South Carolina 66. The Wildcats continue to rally, finding their shooting stroke and picking up a convincing road win at South Carolina. South Carolina, however, does still have the nation's coolest paint job in their lanes.

• #7 Florida 81, Arkansas 85. Both teams had all five starters in double figures, but Arkansas' double figures were a just a little more double-figurey. They won despite missing 16 free throws.

• Michigan @ #16 Michigan State. State currently leads by 16 in the second half, with Shannon Brown, Maurice Ager, and Paul Davis were all in double figures with over 15:00 remaining to play.
