The final Saturday of college basketball’s regular season delivered thrilling finishes, dramatic bubble games and general chaos as the madness of March continued ramping up. Among the top storylines were a pair of “double bubble” battles between big-name brands in premier conferences needing victories.
Oklahoma toppled Texas 76-72 after entering as one of the “last four in” the projected NCAA Tournament bracket of Jerry Palm. The Longhorns entered as one of the “first four out” and will likely need a strong showing at the SEC Tournament after dropping four of their final five regular season games.
In the Big Ten, Indiana beat Ohio State 66-60 in a critical game for both. The Hoosiers entered on the bubble but in the field as a projected No. 10 seed. At 19-12 (10-10 Big Ten), IU is now on the cusp of locking up a spot in the Big Dance in coach Mike Woodson’s final season. The Buckeyes were projected as a No. 11 seed and one of the “last four in” entering the day and could have some work to do in the conference tournament.
