— Titans ran ball for 201 yards, were +1 in turnovers; they move on to play Baltimore next weekend. New England scored one TD on three trips to red zone.

12) Houston 22, Buffalo 19 OT:
— Buffalo led 16-0 with 2:00 left in third quarter, had to kick FG with 0:05 left to force OT. Texans move on to Kansas City next weekend.
— Josh Allen is first QB in NFL history with a 40-yard run and TD catch in the same game, regular season or postseason. He got those on Buffalo’s first drive of the game.

11) Nick Foles, Marcus Mariota are the other QB’s to catch a TD pass in a playoff game.

10) Washington State 79, UCLA 71 OT— Bruins were up 9 at the half, but lose for 4th time in last five games. Wazzu outscored UCLA 23-13 on foul line, where Bruins made only 13-23.

9) Georgia Tech 96, North Carolina 83— Tar Heels were down 20 at the half; they’re 8-6, and aren’t going to the NCAA’s this year.

8) San Diego State 77, Utah State 68— Impressive road win for the Aztecs, who improve to 15-0; they’re one of two unbeaten teams (Auburn) left in country.

7) Upsets:
— Presbyterian (+11.5) 68, Gardner-Webb 62
— Portland (+10) 71, San Francisco 65
— Nicholls State (+10) 70, Sam Houston State 58

4) Penn State 89, Iowa 86— Nittany Lions played this home game at the Palestra in Philly, because school is out in Happy Valley.

3) Valparaiso 81, Evansville 79 OT— Purple Aces won at Kentucky, arguably the biggest win in school history, but are only 6-6 since then, losing three of last four games; their coach was suspended for off-court stuff, and their season is quickly heading towards the ash can, after such a promising start.

2) Gonzaga 75, Pepperdine 70— WCC might be a little deeper this year; Gonzaga was down 7 at the half in Portland the other night, this game was tied at halftime.

1) Pacific 107, Saint Mary’s 99 4OT— Game of the Day was the last game of the night; Gaels were up 11 at halftime, but their bench was outscored 42-19 by Pacific’s subs.
