What to know: We had a massive slate of college basketball yesterday! Let’s quickly review some of what went down!

(1) Auburn def. (2) Alabama, 94-85 - Auburn is a certified wagon! Their big man star Johni Broome was playing on a hobbled leg in the second half and he still couldn’t be stopped. He ended the game with 19 points, 14 rebounds, 6 assists, and 2 blocks! Auburn proved again that they are one of the best teams in the nation with a defiant road victory in a hostile environment! These two teams will face off AT LEAST one more time this season!

(6) Houston def. (12) Arizona, 62-58 - Fresh off a good road win against Baylor, the Houston Cougars were heavily tested on the road against a very good Arizona team! They were down 7 with around 10 minutes to go in the game, and then they flipped a defensive switch! They held the Wildcats to without a FG for 6 minutes en route to recapture the lead and stretch it to 7! Houston gritted out a tough win against a tough opponent!

(3) Duke def. Stanford, 106-70 - Alright, it’s time to figure out what’s really going on here. Is this just going to be another Duke team led by a Freshman phenom that falls in the Sweet Sixteen? Or is this going to be a team that makes a run?! This phenom we speak of, Cooper Flagg, stuffed the stat sheet again with 19 points, 6 assists, and 5 rebounds. His youth alongside fellow freshman Kon Knueppel, mixed with the experience of Tyrese Proctor…could be what they need to get back over the hump….or maybe not!

Seton Hall def. UCONN in OT, 69-68 - Nothing to say here. Safe to say the fellas will be going through inbound plays til they are blue in the face this week! Are we not as good as we used to be? True. Does this team flip into another gear come March? Also true. Sheesh that was tough to watch.
