Top-ranked Michigan held off No. 2 UConn 69-63 in a battle of heavyweight programs, with the Wolverines (37-3) proving their record is no fluke against a 34-6 Huskies squad that refused to fold. Meanwhile, in a clash of No. 1s on the women's side, UCLA (37-1) turned what looked like a coin-flip into a coronation — dismantling South Carolina (36-4) 79-51 in a 28-point statement that puts the Bruins in a tier of their own.
On the diamond, Oklahoma traveled to Chapel Hill and ambushed No. 5 North Carolina 13-2, handing the 54-14-1 Tar Heels a humbling home loss. The Sooners' 43-23 record suddenly looks a lot more dangerous when the bats show up like that.
In men's volleyball, No. 2 Hawai'i (28-5) handled UC Irvine (20-8) in four sets, 3-1, keeping the Rainbow Warriors rolling toward postseason form.
