Thursday's Scores

Top 25:

Arizona St. 50 (6-12, 0-7)
(3) UCLA 60 (16-1, 5-1) - Still just one loss, but they haven't been blowing teams out like they did earlier, and they should have tonight.

Stanford 59 (11-5, 3-3)
(9) Oregon 66 (17-1, 5-1) - Continue to surprise and impress me, but they have four straight on the road @ Washington, Wash. St., UCLA, and USC starting next Thursday.

(11) Arizona 73 (13-4, 4-3) - Not playing well in the Pac-10; @ UCLA on Saturday for a chance to climb back near the top of the conference.
USC 80 (14-5, 4-2) - Biggest win of the year.

Wake Forest 40 (9-8, 1-4)
(14) Duke 62 (15-3, 2-2) - The 3 straight vs. Miami, Wake, and NC St. is exactly what they needed to get out of their funk; still haven't proved they can beat the teams at the top of the conference.

Fresno St. 75 (13-5, 2-3)
(15) Nevada 85 (17-1, 5-0) - Are they really as good as their record? We won't find out until the NCAA tournament.

Other Scores:

Wichita St. 75 (12-7, 3-5) - You can't play this badly in the MVC and expect to make the NCAA tournament. Have to win 6 of last 10 conference games to reach .500 in the league, and still have @ N. Iowa, vs. SIU, vs. Mo. St., and @ Creighton, and they are 0-4 on the road in the conference.
Illinois St. 83 (10-9, 2-6)

Bradley 54 (13-7, 4-4)
Creighton 65 (12-6, 6-2)
