Welcome to "NCAA Basketball Recap," where we break down the latest college hoops action. I'm Dillon, your host from Big Dill Sports, where each episode we spotlight athletes making a big impact. So, let’s dive right in!

First off, let's talk about UConn's impressive rally. After trailing by 11 at halftime, they pulled away to defeat Texas A&M–Commerce 83 to 59. Solo Ball was the catalyst, scoring 14 points—10 of those in the second half. Eric Reibe also had a standout performance with 13 points, six rebounds, and three blocks. It was a strong display from the Huskies, showing resilience and depth.

Over in Nashville, Gonzaga absolutely dominated Kentucky with a 94 to 59 victory. They set the tone early, jumping to a 19-2 run, and continued to build their lead. Graham Ike was a force inside, racking up 28 points and 10 rebounds. Braden Huff added 20 points, while their defense stifled Kentucky, allowing just 26.7 percent shooting.

In the Skyline Chili Crosstown Shootout, Xavier emerged victorious over Cincinnati, 79 to 74. Tre Carroll shone brightly, notching a career-high 30 points. Filip Borovicanin’s clutch three-pointer was crucial in sealing the win. Meanwhile, Cincinnati’s Shon Abaev led with 16 points, but it wasn’t enough to overcome Xavier’s balanced attack.

Now, let’s head to Fort Worth, where Notre Dame edged TCU in an overtime thriller, 87 to 85. Jalen Haralson was the hero with his game-tying shot and key free throws in overtime, finishing with 20 points and nine assists. Freshman Cole Certa also impressed, sinking four three-pointers during a pivotal second-half burst.

Shifting gears to the Big West opener, Hawaii fended off UC Davis 75 to 69. Dre Bullock led the way for the Rainbow Warriors, scoring 15 points, grabbing six rebounds, and snagging four steals. Hawaii closed the game on a strong 12-5 run, showcasing their ability to perform under pressure.

In the Ivy League kickoff, Brown cruised past Bryant 75 to 56. Adrian Uchidiuno and Jeremiah Jenkins propelled the Bears with impressive performances, as Jenkins filled the stat sheet with 12 points, six rebounds, six assists, and three steals. Bryant’s Ty Tabales scored 19, but Brown’s solid team play prevailed.

Over in the MAAC, Quinnipiac burst past Iona 89 to 68. Jaden Zimmerman was a standout, posting 19 points, six rebounds, and five assists. Grant Randall and Asim Jones supported with key contributions, overshadowing another double-double performance by Iona’s Lamin Sabally.

Finally, in the Atlantic 10/SoCon clash, VCU rolled over Samford 83 to 57. After a level first half, VCU erupted in the second. Terrence Hill Jr. was phenomenal off the bench with 22 points, and Jadrian Tracey snagged a double-double, while Samford’s Dylan Faulkner tried to keep pace with his own notable performance.

Now it's time for our Big Dill pick—Graham Ike of Gonzaga. His dominant performance against Kentucky, securing a double-double and leading his team to victory, truly makes him a big deal this week.
