GAME OF THE NIGHT: No. 12 Providence 50, Creighton 48

Kris Dunn lost a turnover and got scored on to tie the game when the Friars were clinging to a two-point lead on the road. He made it up for the mistakes with this ridiculous stepback jumper to beat the buzzer and lift Providence to a Big East win.

IMPORTANT OUTCOMES

Michigan 70, No. 3 Maryland 67: Playing without senior guard Caris LeVert, the Wolverines picked up a huge home win. Read why this one was so important for Michigan’s season.

No. 11 West Virginia 74, No. 1 Kansas 63: The Mountaineers soundly outplayed Kansas for the home win as we’ll likely have a new No. 1 next week. I have more on why Kansas should be a bit concerned after this loss.

No. 13 Virginia 66, No. 8 Miami 58: After two road losses last week, the Cavaliers desperately needed to stop the bleeding and did so with a nice home win over Miami. CBT’s Rob Dauster has more on what this game means going forward for Virginia.

Texas 94, No. 17 Iowa State 91, OT: It continues to be difficult to win on the road in the Big 12 as the Cyclones fell in Austin. Isaiah Taylor had 28 points to lead the Longhorns while Georges Niang had 27 in a losing effort.

STARRED

Bryant McIntosh, Northwestern: The sophomore went for 28 points and five assists and looked like the best player on the floor in the Wildcats’ Big Ten home win over Wisconsin.

Jalen Jones, Texas A&M: The Aggies had a tight SEC win over Florida as Jones carried the offensive burden with 26 points on 8-for-13 shooting.

Thomas Walkup, Stephen F. Austin: Stepping up for the Lumberjacks was the senior Player of the Year favorite in the Southland as Walkup scored 32 points on 11-for-13 shooting and added four assists and three rebounds in a win over Central Arkansas.

STRUGGLED

Melo Trimble, Maryland: The sophomore All-American candidate only had two points on 1-for-7 shooting with four turnovers in a Terrapin road loss to Michigan.
