Very interesting games in the Big Ten. (Yes, I said that yesterday, too, but it’s still true.) Also a big win for an RU opponent. And 19 top 25 teams had games.
B1G
Illinois 66 #12 Minnesota 62 – big 4th quarter comeback for the Illini on the road
Indiana 68 #15 Michigan State 64 – Hoosiers tied with RU atop B10*
*Corrected score
Other RU opponents
Drake 82 Illinois State 64 – Bulldogs blew it open with big 3rd quarter
#14 Syracuse 75 Virginia Tech 73 OT – Sheppard missed a 3 with 9 seconds left in OT that could have won it for the Hokies
LSU 63 #21 Texas A&M 52 – Aggies now 0-2 in SEC, probably will drop out of top 25
Other ranked teams
#1 Connecticut 81 Houston 61 – Huskies rebound from rare regular season loss
#2 Notre Dame 76 Georgia Tech 55 – Yellowjackets not looking as good as they did earlier
#3 Louisville 73 Duke 51 – Blue Devils 0-2 in ACC play
#5 Oregon 98 Washington State 58 – about as expected
#6 Stanford 85 UCLA 80 – Cardinal came back from down 7 at the half
#7 Mississippi State 86 #16 Kentucky 71 – Howard had 21 and 12 for the Bulldogs
#8 Baylor 73 Texas Tech 56 – Bears get an easy one to start B12 play
#9 North Carolina State 85 Boston College 69 – Wolfpack one of 2 undefeated teams in top 25
Missouri 66 #10 Tennessee 64 – Tigers took the lead with 6:09 left and held on
#11 Oregon State 78 Washington 67 – Slocum had 30 for the Beavers
#13 Texas 70 West Virginia 58 – Longhorns dominated 2nd half
#18 California 66 Southern California 59 – Trojans drop to 0-3 in P12
#22 Arizona State 76 Colorado 70 – ditto for Buffs
#23 South Carolina 62 Alabama 59 – surprisingly close
4 top 25 upsets today, and 12 top 25 losses (including non-upsets in games between ranked teams) this week, if I counted right. Among the teams ranked 15-25 in the AP poll, #15 (twice), #16, #18, #21 (twice), and #24 lost.
