Caleb Love`s clutch performance led Arizona to a historic upset over Iowa State, while Kansas and BYU also secured thrilling victories.

Arizona stunned No. 3 Iowa State with an 86-75 victory, marking a significant upset in college basketball. Caleb Love emerged as the game`s hero, hitting a remarkable halfcourt shot to send the match into overtime. In the extra period, Love continued his stellar performance by sinking two crucial corner 3-pointers, sealing the win for Arizona. Tobe Awaka also made a notable contribution with a double-double, scoring 17 points and grabbing 12 rebounds.

Despite strong efforts from Iowa State`s Tamin Lipsey and Keshon Gilbert, who scored 18 and 17 points respectively, they could not match Love`s late-game brilliance. This victory is particularly historic for Arizona, as it represents their first win over a top-5 opponent as an unranked team since 1979.

Meanwhile, No. 11 Kansas avoided back-to-back losses at Allen Fieldhouse for the first time in 36 years, rallying to defeat UCF 91-87. Zeke Mayo played a pivotal role, scoring 24 points and hitting two decisive free throws. UCF`s Keyshawn Hall put up an impressive 34 points but fell short as Kansas responded to a nine-point deficit with a 12-2 run.

Arizona State edged out Colorado 70-68, with Adam Miller leading the Sun Devils with 18 points. Colorado`s Trevor Baskin scored 19 points, but the Buffaloes struggled in the closing moments. BYU triumphed over Baylor in a thrilling 93-89 overtime match, with Kanon Catchings scoring 23 points and Richie Saunders contributing crucial points in overtime.

Utah secured a narrow 69-66 victory against Cincinnati, thanks to Gabe Madsen`s late-game heroics. No. 22 Texas Tech continued their strong performance with a 71-57 win over TCU, highlighted by JT Toppin`s double-double. Lastly, No. 6 Houston maintained their dominance with a 63-49 win over West Virginia, marking their 13th consecutive victory.
