Huge 3-point win for No. 2 UCLA over No. 8 Michigan. The Bruins improve to 13-0 in Big 10 play and continue a 17-0 win streak. The Wolverines have now lost three games by three points to Top Five teams (No. 1 UConn 72-69, then-No. 5 Vanderbilt 72-69, No. 2 UCLA 69-66) #ncaawbb

UCLA 13 - Maryland 8 TO with 4:36 left in 1Q. Lauren Betts and Gabriela Jaquez both have 4pts each. Maryland doesn’t have the height to guard inside. A couple nice passes by the Bruins have led to some easy transition buckets. #ncaawbb #uclawbb #marylandwbb

After Maryland suffered another upset, I think it’ll be out of the top 10, bringing Louisville up one spot and LSU back into the top 10, taking the final spot. #ncaawbb

Oklahoma did lose to Kentucky today, but Kentucky fell to an unranked Alabama squad, so I think the Sooners will be able to stay ahead of them. Michigan recovered well after its unranked loss before last ranking, so I think they’ll be able to climb back to the 8th spot. #ncaawbb
