With the PAC - bound to happen - because so many teams are so highly ranked. The byes were Oregon, Stanford, UCLA and Arizona. All I think higher than #14.
 
California 71 #24 Arizona State 67
don't know if this loss will keep the Normal School out of the NCAA Tourney, but it might.
 
Update:

#14 Oregon State 82 Washington State 55 - Tudor led the Beavers with 24

I don't think ASU will miss the NCAAs because of the loss, although the Sun Devils have lost 3 of their last 4, including two losses to sub-RPI 100 teams.
