North Carolina vs. Gonzaga took a hit when Cole Anthony underwent knee surgery Monday, but Wednesday's college basketball slate still delivered. We'll get to the storylines of Zags-Tar Heels shortly, but a couple quick hitters to start.
The Big Ten's home-team winning streak was snapped, as Michigan State won at Northwestern; before Wednesday, home teams were 13-0 in league play. Louisville outscored Miami (Ohio) by 20 over the final nine minutes to pull away from the RedHawks. Cincinnati bounced back from its home loss to Colgate with a key home victory over Tennessee -- while the Volunteers have now lost two in a row and three of five.
