Tuesday night produced another round of upsets in college basketball, with one coming in the Big 12 and another in the Big East. Firstly, Kansas State traveled down to Norman where Oklahoma was able to get an important NCAA Tournament resume win. Head coach Porter Moser needs to string a few together but one vs. the Wildcats was a start.
Providence beating Creighton in double overtime shook things up in the Big East, setting up what should be a fun final stretch of the season. With that came a new edition of the CBS Sports Top 25 and 1, with some movement occurring after those two results.
Kansas State fell four spots and out of the top 10, moving a few teams up one spot. The entire top nine remained the same but more action could be coming in the future. An important Wednesday slate is upon us as college basketball begins to heat up heading into March.
