Kansas Takes Down Baylor
This game was one of the most exciting of the season. Kansas and Baylor split victories in the regular season and will more than likely meet again in the Big 12 Championship. Azubuike played a crazy game scoring 23 points and grabbing 19 rebounds. A big question that comes up following this game if not following up 3 three was the right decision. Ultimately Kansas won the game, but the question still remains. Go check out my article about fouling up three to learn more about the statistics surrounding it.

TCU Tops West Virginia in OT
At one point in this game TCU trailed West Virginia by as many as 10 points. They were able to come back and get the win in OT. Both of these teams have been struggling to win games, but this is really going to hurt West Virginia. They will most likely drop out of the AP Top 25 and only time will tell what this means for the future of this team.
Frogs Win!

Down 10 points, TCU pulls off its biggest come-from-behind win of the season.#GoFrogs 😈 pic.twitter.com/VuwcvUrIA4
West Virginia has now lost four of its last five games after today's OT defeat at TCU. Mountaineers have not scored more than 65 points during that span.

Just a reminder that #WVU beat TCU by 32 points just over one month ago, and the Horned Frogs have gone 2-9 since that game.

Colorado Falls to UCLA
UCLA has all of a sudden started playing very good basketball. Going into colorado and coming out with a win is an impressive task for this team. Earlier in the year, Colorado looked like one of the best teams in the country, but they have been struggling to win games as of late.

Missed Free Throws in the Desert
With the game tied at the end of the game, Arizona missed two free throws to send the game to overtime. Down 1 with 1 second left in overtime, they were once again sent to the free throw line, and once again they missed both free throws. Games like these are ones you can’t lose if you are looking to make a tournament run. Arizona had the game in there control twice and failed both times.
DUCKS WIN!

Gonzaga Struggles Against BYU
After a Baylor loss this morning Gonzaga was looking for a win to potential get the number spot in the country. Unfortunately for Gonzaga BYU was not just going to roll over. Gonzaga was always close in this game, but they could never get a hold of the game. I guess it was just meant to be in a day full of crazy upsets.
