NCAA College Basketball Scores - Saturday, March 1

NCAA College Basketball Scores - Saturday, March 1
It was a bad, bad night for the rated teams. Numbers 1 and 2 won, but the following lost: 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 15, 17, 18. I wonder how often nine of the top eighteen teams lose in the same night.

Syracuse suffered the most humiliating defeat. They were outscored 48-28 in the second half. The pain of that was somewhat mitigated by the fact that Virginia is a really good team (they have clinched the ACC with a 16-1 conference record), but still ... 'Cuse was rated #1 in the nation, and teams at that level are not supposed to get schooled like that.

Given the losses by six higher-rated teams, Virginia's national ranking should improve substantially from their existing #12. I suppose they could go as high as #6.
