Kentucky 87 - Iowa State 71
Iowa State hung on for much longer than expected, but eventually Kentucky simply overwhelmed them. Kentucky is talented, but they are definitely immature. When simple things like calls go against them (even while up double digits), they wear the frustration on their faces. If there's a team that can hang with them talent-wise, maturity could be the difference. If things start going against Kentucky, I'm not convinced they'll overcome that adversity.
Baylor 80 - Colorado 63
These two teams know each other better than you would expect, since they were in the same conference until this season, when Colorado left the Big 12 for the Pac 12. Much like the UK-ISU game above, Colorado hung on for much longer than expected, but Baylor's superior talent eventually went on a sustained run to put away the game.
Louisville 59 - New Mexico 56
If I'm going to be entirely honest, I found myself zoning out during this game. Being 30 really stinks, from an energy perspective. In a few years I'm going to have to outsource my late watching hours to Miles. I thought New Mexico's goose was cooked with plenty of time to go in the second half, but New Mexico rallied well, they just fell a few plays shy. They kept their turnovers down (13 isn't a high number against Louisville's pressure D), but they shot under 40% from the field and were 5-for-23 from downtown.
