13) Baylor 84, Auburn 72:
— Baylor/Gonzaga are clearly the best two teams in the country.
— Baylor is #4 in country at forcing turnovers, #1 at shooting 3’s; they can beat you many ways.

12) Oklahoma 66, Alabama 61:
— Great week for the Sooners, beating Texas/Alabama.
— Loss ends Alabama’s 10-game win streak; they still lead SEC by three games.
— Oklahoma has won five in a row, is 11-4 this season.

— Virginia was only 9-24 inside the arc.

— Drake trailed by 11 early on; they were only 4-30 on the arc.

3) Hawai’i 62, Cal-Irvine 61 OT:
