The GIST: The calendar still says February, but NCAA women’s basketball is giving March. And while No. 3 Notre Dame’s 86–81 loss to No. 24 Florida State was the biggest upset of a wild Thursday, last night featured all sorts of bizarre scorelines as teams careen towards the postseason.

• Speaking of, this weekend marks the last regular-season women’s games before conference tourneys begin, where squads have a shot at clinching automatic bids to March Madness. Hooping right in.

Huge blowouts dominate the night: A stunning eight games featuring top-25 teams ended in landslides last night. Both No. 15 Kentucky and No. 16 Duke notched big upsets over No. 11 Tennessee and No. 8 UNC respectively, but it was No. 13 Oklahoma who ran up the score the most in their 89–65 spanking of unranked Florida. Holy moly.

• Surprisingly, one of the few games that wasn’t a smackdown was No. 1 Texas’ distressingly narrow 68–64 win over Mississippi State, which was neck-and-neck until the very end.
• Toss in No. 7 LSU’s 88–85 overtime loss to No. 20 Alabama, and you have one weird night on the hardwood.

Two winner-take-all matchups ahead: Tomorrow holds a rematch made for Hollywood as No. 2 UCLA seeks redemption against crosstown rival No. 4 USC at 9 p.m. ET. The Trojans handed UCLA their only loss of the season back on Galentine’s Day, but it’s not just revenge on the line: The winner will also clinch the Big Ten regular-season ’ship. And the winner for Best Drama is…

• And in the Big 12, No. 10 TCU (where Sedona Prince is still a starter, BTW…) and No. 17 Baylor will duke it out to break their tie for the regular-season title Sunday at 6:30 p.m. ET. Clear your cal now, you’re booked and busy all weekend.
