Last Night in College Basketball: Potential Final Four Preview, So Many Upsets
📖 Full Retelling
Men's college basketball, women's college basketball – there's no shortage of college ball, every night. Don't worry, we're here to help you figure out what you missed but shouldn't have. Here are all the best moments from the weekend in college basketball. A Final Four preview? What an incredible weekend of college basketball, and a potential preview for March Madness in more ways than one. On the men’s side, we got a look at a possible set of Final Four matchups, with the top four seeds all facing each other. But considering what else went down — upset after upset, for both men’s and women’s basketball — it’s also worth remembering that this weekend might have been the only time we’ll get to see Duke vs. Michigan and Arizona vs. Houston. Hey, with the way the Big 12 has been this season, even saying the Wildcats and Cougars will face off in their conference tourney seems presumptuous. The rankings played no part in which teams came out the winners, either. No. 3 Duke took on No. 1 Michigan, and would win, 68-63. No. 4 Arizona bested No. 2 Houston, 73-66. Close games on both accounts, but close is no comfort in March. Luckily for the Wolverines and Cougars, it’s still February. With a margin of victory of just 5 points, the reason one team won over the other is either glaringly obvious or even comes down to a single play. For Michigan, the issue was the paint. Duke won the rebound battle handily, with 41 to the Wolverines’ 28; Duke had 13 offensive boards to Michigan’s 8, which helps explain at least part of the disparity in paint points, as well, with the Blue Devils scoring 34 to Michigan’s 24. With the teams otherwise even from deep and the free throw line, it was that performance in the paint that separated the two. Star freshman forward Cameron Boozer was at the forefront with an 18-point, 10-rebound double-double (as well as 7 assists and 2 blocks), but freshman guard Nikolas Khamenia had 9 rebounds off the bench in 24 minutes, as well: senior forward Yaxel L
