Wake Forest pulled off a huge upset over No. 8 Louisville, 88-81 on Wednesday night.
Here's what you need to know in college hoops for Thursday, March 2.
Ten days. Just 10 days until Selection Sunday. Time is winding down for teams to make their case for the NCAA tournament. Some are slipping a bit. Some are hitting their stride at just the right moment.
Speaking of which ...
Six teams peaking at the right time
Yeah, yeah, Michigan is on this list. And, yeah, the Wolverines lost to Northwestern on a crazy buzzer-beater -- which you should watch, by the way -- Wednesday night. Still, they've been playing well lately, and those February wins they racked up are twice as important as November wins (the math checks out, trust us). Quite a few teams are winning when it really counts, building momentum toward Selection Sunday (March 12).
NCAA.com's Joe Boozell goes into detail on six of those surging teams here.
We've got March basketball!
• The ACC has been crazy all year, but not too many people would have called Wake Forest's upset of Louisville, 88-81 on Wednesday. The Demon Deacons needed a signature win to help out their tournament hopes and, while I'm no bracketologist, I'm pretty sure beating the No. 8 team in the nation is pretty darn signature.
• Outside of Winston-Salem in the Top 25 Wednesday, everything was slightly less hectic. No. 12 Florida took down Arkansas 78-65 and No. 19 Notre Dame handled Boston College 82-66.
What to watch today
• No. 18 Cincinnati (25-4) vs. Houston (20-8) (7 ET, ESPN2). Cincinnati fell at UCF on Sunday 53-49 and dropped a game back of SMU for the AAC regular season title. The Bearcats have two games to play. First up is Houston, badly in need of a resume-boosting win.
• No. 22 Wisconsin (22-7) vs. Iowa (16-13) (9 ET, ESPN). Five games, four losses. Not exactly the trend Wisconsin was hoping for. If the Badgers can win their final two games, though, they still earn the No. 2 seed in the Big Ten tournament. Iowa has won two straight and is coming off an 83-69 upset of then-No. 24 Maryland.
March Madness memories
Ron Hunter falling off his stool, buzzer-beating threes, Kansas stumbling in the first round ... 14-3 upsets are some of the best.
Naismith Trophy semifinalists
Lonzo Ball (UCLA), Ethan Happ (Wisconsin), Josh Hart (Villanova), Justin Jackson (North Carolina), Josh Jackson (Kansas), Luke Kennard (Duke), Frank Mason III (Kansas), Johnathan Motley (Baylor), Caleb Swanigan (Purdue), and Nigel Williams-Goss (Gonzaga).

Social moment of the day
UNC fans, avert your eyes. College basketball fans, rejoice.
