IMPORTANT OUTCOMES
1. No. 9 Kansas 76, No. 20 West Virginia 69, OT
The Jayhawks trailed by 18 in the second half and didn’t make a 3-pointer, but still won in overtime. The injury to junior forward Perry Ellis is the major development in this one, though. Ellis missed the entire second half and was checked out by trainers. Kansas was able to rally behind a furious comeback and good effort from Frank Mason III (19 points, seven rebounds) and Jamari Traylor (14 points, nine rebounds) but the uncertainty of Ellis and freshman Cliff Alexander is troubling for Kansas.
2. Georgetown 60, No. 21 Butler 54
Earning themselves a quality Big East road win was the Hoyas, who could still play their way into a pretty good seed with a solid showing in Madison Square Garden next week. In a return to his home state of Indiana, Georgetown guard D’Vauntes Smith-Rivera had 16 points and seven rebounds.
3. Iowa 77, Indiana 63
With both of these teams fighting for NCAA Tournament berths, the Hawkeyes came away with a huge road win in Bloomington. Aaron White played a huge game and came away with 21 points and five rebounds. Indiana only shot 38 percent from the floor and struggled for long periods of time on the offensive end of the floor. The Hoosiers are in for a serious fight this last week.
4. Florida 66, Texas A&M 62
The Aggies are sitting on the bubble at this point in the season and lost a tough SEC game at Florida on Tuesday night. Texas A&M only shot 35 percent from the floor as Danuel House was 0-for-10 and was held scoreless. Billy Kennedy’s team closes SEC play with a home game against Alabama before the conference tournament next week.
STARRED
1. Buffalo’s Justin Moss
The forward had 22 points and 17 rebounds in a win over Ohio. The Bulls have won five consecutive games and reached 20 wins with the MAC victory on Tuesday.
OTHER TOP 25 RESULTS
Rallying in the second half, No. 1 Kentucky moved to 30-0 with a win over Georgia on the road.
Also rallying in the second half was No. 4 Villanova at Creighton. Ryan Arcidiacono’s three-point play with under a minute left was the go-ahead bucket for the Wildcats.

North Carolina rolled past Georgia Tech as Joel Berry led the No. 19 Tar Heels with 15 points.
