"Michigan began Saturday at the top of the college basketball hierarchy, enshrined during the March Madness bracket preview as the No. 1 overall seed. By the end of the day, the picture looked a little different, as No. 3 Duke's thrilling 68-63 win over the No. 1 Wolverines muddied up the race for the top spot in the NCAA Tournament bracket yet again."
"UCLA worked ridiculously hard to storm back from a 23-point hole, and Donovan Dent made sure those efforts were not in vain. The jet-quick guard zoomed coast-to-coast for the game-winning layup as time expired to help UCLA beat No. 10 Illinois 95-94. Dent finished with 14 points and a whopping 15 dimes. The oft-invisible duo of Eric Dailey Jr. and Xavier Booker rose to the occasion with 36 enormous points. It's the third time that Illinois has lost in overtime during Big Ten play."
Top-ranked Michigan fell to No. 3 Duke while No. 4 Arizona beat No. 2 Houston, producing three 25-2 teams from different conferences heading into the final week of February. The regular season features elite competition with consequential results that affect NCAA Tournament seeding. No. 19 Vanderbilt lost at home to Tennessee and No. 8 Kansas suffered a historic home loss to Cincinnati, impacting bubble and seeding projections. UCLA rallied from a 23-point deficit, with Donovan Dent's coast-to-coast buzzer-beating layup securing a 95-94 overtime win over No. 10 Illinois.
