#20 Marquette 96 #24 DePaul 63
Blue Demons should drop out of top 25
sad but true.
Hopefully Rutgers will be in it.

#22 Arizona State 65 Utah 63 :okay:

Drake 92 Bradley 63.
want Drake to look good so loss to them doesn't hurt Tourney chances that much
Call me a temporary fan :D

UCLA 84 #18 Cal 79 final.

That could open up a second spot in the Top 25.

Like many here, I also pull for DePaul in the BE now that we are no longer in it. We have a great history with them and I still recall that they were our opponent at the RAC on the night when CVS got her 800th win. DePaul's coach kept his team out on their bench to watch the ceremony, saying afterward that he wanted them to see basketball history being made. Sports need more people like him.
