Four Top-10 Teams Fall in Wild Weekend of College Basketball Upsets & Buzzer-Beaters

The madness is here! There are still 48 hours until March 2023 officially arrives, but the college basketball chaos is in full effect. The weekend produced four losses by top-10 teams, and another three top-10 teams narrowly survived upset bids. A half-court buzzer-beater in Arizona and a top-10 dogfight in Texas was as “March” as it comes. Meanwhile, Indiana and North Carolina upset Purdue and Virginia, respectively. But it wasn’t just madness in the men’s game. Iowa stunned Indiana on Caitlin Clark’s buzzer-beating 3, and Utah knocked off Stanford in a top-10 battle. Your bracket isn’t ready. If it was, it would already be busting.

 

We’ll be crowning regular-season conference champs this week. Here’s a look at the chaos from the weekend that was:
