BYU’s comeback to beat Iowa State had the Cougars controlling the game — Truman finally broke the curse by picking the Cyclones and taking one for the team.

We recap Duke-Michigan and how Duke emerged as a stock riser while Michigan regrouped. We break down UNC vs. Louisville and Darius Acuff’s big moment taking over against Alabama — the Arkansas Razorbacks fought hard but couldn’t complete the comeback. We also recap Big 12 games include Arizona vs. Houston and Houston vs. Kansas, with the Houston Cougars on a troubling losing skid and sliding as a major stock faller. We also note Puerto Vallarta Vacations (yes, seriously) as a tongue-in-cheek stock faller, and give props to USA Hockey as a definite stock riser.

Picks and previews: our same-week picks include St. John’s and UConn, plus previews of Michigan State vs. Purdue and other marquee matchups on Big Monday and the Saturday slate. We mention key teams and players throughout for searchability: BYU Cougars, Iowa State Cyclones, Duke Blue Devils, Michigan Wolverines, North Carolina Tar Heels, Louisville Cardinals, Alabama Crimson Tide, Arkansas Razorbacks, Arizona Wildcats, Houston Cougars, Kansas Jayhawks, UConn Huskies, St. John’s Red Storm, Michigan State Spartans, Purdue Boilermakers — and coaches and names you’ll hear in the episode.
