San Diego State’s quest for the perfect season took a wrong turn at home against UNLV — a 14-14 team oblivious to the odds and hardened by playing in six previous overtime games. The echo of the Rebels’ 66-63 upset was heard all the way in the Midwest.
Down went San Diego State’s 26-0 victory spree.
Down went Baylor 23-0 win streak.
Bears became the sixth No. 1 team to lose this season.
Gonzaga’s gaggle of winning streaks, at the hands of BYU. The regular season conference 40-gamer, the 39 league victories in a row on the road, the 19 consecutive wins this season. All snapped in Provo.
The plot might have just thickened about the four No. 1 seeds for the NCAA tournament.
Blueblood alert. That thunder you hear are the giants of the game on the move. That always makes March more intriguing. Kentucky has taken control in the SEC, and seems on the verge of its 49th conference championship — the other 13 current members have a combined 52. Kansas now shares the lead in the Big 12. Duke has moved toward the top in the ACC, though just when you think the Blue Devils are rolling, their entire roster was outscored the first half the other night by two guards from North Carolina State. Villanova has won four in a row to get within a game of Seton Hall in the Big East. Even the UCLA Bruins — remember them? — are in the picture. They’ve charged into Pac-12 contention. Much more of this, and they will go from losing at home to Hofstra and Cal State Fullerton to making the tournament field.
Who’ll be carrying the longest winning streak into the NCAA tournament? With the hat trick of Baylor, Gonzaga and San Diego State losing, the new co-owners at the moment are Dayton and New Mexico State, at 16 victories in a row.

The Terrapins have been the most consistent team in the meat grinder that is the Big Ten, but they also own a recent history of tournament mishaps. Buyers beware, but Maryland looks awfully good.
