Thursday's Scores

Top 25:

(3) UCLA 62 (18-1, 7-1) - Have a good case for being number 1; only loss to Oregon.
California 46 (12-8, 4-4)

(7) Oregon 77 (18-2, 6-2) - This isn't a bad loss, but it could hurt with the next 3 @ Wash. St., @ UCLA, and @ USC.
Washington 89 (12-7, 2-6) - Stops a 3 game losing streak; need to go on a huge run to make the tournament.

(19) Clemson 66 (18-3, 4-3) - Lost 3 of 4, but still in good position with the easier part of their ACC schedule ahead.
(10) Duke 68 (17-3, 4-2) - Barely avoided their 2nd home loss of the season.

(14) Butler 70 (18-2, 6-1) - The early wins over Tennessee and Gonzaga aren't as impressive as they once were, but they did also beat Indiana and Notre Dame. A loss tonight could have dropped them a place or two in the NCAA tournament.
Loyola Chicago 66 OT (13-8, 4-4)

Louisiana Tech 67 (6-13, 4-3)
(18) Nevada 84 (18-2, 6-1)

Oregon St. 55 (9-12, 1-7)
(20) Washington St. 70 (17-3, 6-2) - Big game vs. Oregon on Saturday.

(25) USC 50 (15-6, 5-3) - Were never in this game, but that happens on the road sometimes.
Stanford 65 (13-5, 5-3) - Won 6 of 7 and are making a good push for an NCAA bid.
