After last weekend's quartet of marquee top-10 matchups, this Saturday was more about teams on either side of the NCAA tournament cut line needing to take advantage of résumé-boosting opportunities. Six top-10 teams faced unranked teams on the road -- environments where highly ranked teams have consistently struggled all season. This group doesn't include the likes of Marquette, which was hosting a St. John's team in need of a win, or Kentucky, which was at home against a desperate Gonzaga squad. Michigan State, Colorado, Cincinnati, Florida were also all in need of a victory to boost their NCAA tournament hopes.
