One upset by an RU opponent, but otherwise pretty much chalk on a busy day for ranked teams.
Big Ten
#5 Ohio State 117 Illinois 74 - 39 for Alston and 35 for Mitchell for the Buckeyes
#25 Michigan State 114 Minnesota 106 - Banham with 52(!!!) in a losing cause; Powers *only* had 40 for the Spartans
Iowa 76 Indiana 73 - a bit of a surprise
Purdue 68 Nebraska 50 - both teams now 8-8 in B1G play
Other RU Oppponents
#16 Kentucky 77 Arkansas 63 - 14 and 11 for Akhator to lead the Wildcats
LSU 57 #24 Tennessee 56 - Hyder free throws with 3.4 seconds left won it for the Lady Tigers
Seton Hall 72 Xavier 67 - 20 wins for the Pirates
Butler 62 St. John's 58 - a bad loss for the Red Storm
Virginia 65 Clemson 48 - have I mentioned just how bad Clemson is?
Iona 64 St. Peter's 50 - Gaels have won 9 of last 10
Other Ranked Teams
#7 Oregon State 64 #12 UCLA 54 - 25 and 14 for Weisner to lead the Beavers
#8 Texas 73 West Virginia 50 - 27-11 2nd quarter and 18-9 3rd quarter sealed it
#9 Arizona State 77 Washington 57 - Washington led by 9 after 1, but all Sun Devils after that
#11 Louisville 55 Boston College 45 - closer than I would have guessed
#12 Texas A&M 75 Vanderbilt 63 - ditto
#14 Mississippi State 60 Mississippi 51 - ditto
#15 Stanford 72 Utah 54 - Cardinal have won 7 of last 8, but get Oregon State next
#18 Miami (Florida) 67 Virginia Tech 56 OT - at Miami, no less
#19 South Florida 97 Memphis 82 - 20 and 17 for the Bulls' Jenkins
#21 DePaul 78 Creighton 52 - Blue Demons cruising in BEast
Georgia 74 #22 Florida 63 - 20th win the for the Bulldogs
#23 Syracuse 70 Pittsburgh 56 - close a lot of the way
Also - the rest of the ACC
North Carolina State 80 North Carolina 66 - Tar Heels below .500 overall
Georgia Tech 64 Duke 59 - Peresson led the Yellow Jackets with 20
ACC standings up to the minute:
1. Notre Dame 13-0/25-1
2. Louisville 13-1/22-6
3. Florida State 11-2/21-5
4. Syracuse 12-3/22-6
5. Miami 10-4/22-5
6. North Carolina State 8-5/17-9
7. Duke 7-8/19-11
8t. Georgia Tech 6-8/16-11
8t. Wake Forest 6-8/15-12
10. Virginia 5-9/15-13
11. Pittsburgh 4-9/12-14
12. North Carolina 4-10/14-15
13. Boston College 2-12/14-13
14. Clemson 0-14/4-23
The top 5 teams are pretty close to mortal locks for the NCAAs at this point. North Carolina State probably is in pretty good shape. Duke has some work to do and Georgia Tech has an outside shot. Nobody else has any hope but winning the ACC tournament.
