There have been some good games today.
One upset just finishing up was Colorado over Texas, 91-89. The Longhorns were ahead for most of the game, including a 15-point halftime edge, now the Buffaloes have overtaken them. Colorado is looking for that signature win, while Texas continues to struggle after defeating Kansas earlier this year. Texas with this loss no longer is a number-one seed in the NCAA tournament. Colorado improves to 18-11 on the year, sending Texas off with their fifth loss.
UCLA closed the doors on Pauley Pavillion with a big conference victory over 13th-ranked Arizona. Every time the Wildcats looked to make a run, UCLA always answered. The Bruins pulled away in the end, handing Arizona their second straight loss. UCLA tied Arizona for the lead in the PAC-10 with the win. UCLA forward Perry Nelson outplayed Arizona's star forward Derrick Williams en route to the win. Now heading into the final week of the season, the top spot in the conference is suddenly up for grabs, after it looked like Arizona had it locked up. The Bruins remain two wins in back of the Wildcats on the season, grabbing their 21st today.
If the Cougars of BYU can finish the year on a high-note and win a couple games in the Mountain West conference tournament, they are a legit top-seed in the "big dance." BYU behind guard Jimmer Freddette's 25 points and nine assists defeated San Diego State, 80-67 to complete the season sweep. BYU improved to 27-2 on the year, and San Diego State dropped to 27-2. The Aztecs are no better then a three seed in the NCAA tournament.
St. Johns and Syracuse both won key Big East road games over Villanova and Georgetown. The Red Storm from St. Johns continue to ride the hot hand of guard Dwight Hardy who went for 34 points in the 81-68 win over Villanova. St. Johns is two games ahead of Villanova in the current Big East standings with the win. Syracuse won a defensive showdown with the Hoyas, 58-51 behind guard Scoop Jardine's 17 points. Georgetown was missing forward Chris Wright who started 93 straight games with a broken left hand. Syracuse is a half-game behind St. Johns for third place in the conference.
