It may be cold outside, but college basketball is heating up!

From now until the Final Four in Houston, every Saturday will feature keyย matchups that will shape the season and determine who is going to The Dance.

Today, theย road teams pulled off someย important victories.

Villanova, needing to get back on track after a heart-wrenching loss to Connecticut earlier in the week, beat Syracuseย  83-72 at the Carrier Dome in front of a season-high crowd of 33,736.

And No. 1 Ohio State needed to come from behind in the second half to beat Illinois in Champaign, 73-68, to stay undefeated in Big Ten play and for the season.

The following is a lightning-fast look at the top 10 individualย performances turned in on January 22, 2011.
