-I am now officially very impressed and all in on the Maryland Terrapins. They picked up another really nice road win last night as they beat a Nebraska team who was squarely on the bubble and had a lot to play for themselves.
-San Francisco had seemingly played their way pretty close to the bubble and had a chance at a huge win at Gonzaga last night last night. They actually had a lead for much of the first half, but couldn’t hold on and the Zags ended up with an 88-77 win that they kind of needed themselves.
-A couple of top Under the Radar teams had close calls last night. Grand Canyon barely escaped at Tarleton State, but held on 64-60, and UC Irvine barely escaped at home against UC Santa Barbara 62-60.
-UCLA AT INDIANA (Big Ten). As much as I’ve been beating up on Indiana, they have been very competitive against some really good teams in many of their losses, and with a recent win at Michigan State they may actually still have a path (albeit a narrow one) to making the NCAA Tournament. UCLA had been on a roll and is still in very good shape, but is coming off a close loss at Illinois and looking to bounce back.
