For John Stalica’s UTR Game of the Day – CLICK HERE
-Arizona clobbered Colorado 97-50. Whatever was wrong with them against Stanford has been fixed!! WOW!!
-As expected, James Madison got a battle at the Cajun Dome against Louisiana, and it was a highly intense game, but they held on to win 68-61 in a game that came down to the final 30 seconds or so.
-For the third straight game, Washington played really well against a really good team, and for the third straight game….they lost. This time at home to Oregon 76-74. The Ducks improve to 11-3 on the year, are still perfect in Pac 12 play, and now have another nice road win on their resume.
-Minnesota picked up a road win at Michigan 73-71 to improve to 11-3 on the season. Michigan certainly has their issues, but it’s time to start paying some attention to this Minnesota team.
-Utah fell on the road to Arizona State 82-70. It isn’t an overly-crippling loss by any means, but it is the kind of game that you would expect a top 40ish/NCAA Tournament caliber team to be able to win.
-CONNECTICUT AT BUTLER (Big East). Butler has reasonably well in their last two games, but they’ve lost both of them and they have another hugely tall order tonight against a UConn team that is in the hunt for a #1 seed.
-ILLINOIS AT PURDUE (Big Ten). Both teams are ranked in the top ten, but with Illinois suddenly being without their most key player and Purdue being at home, it could end up looking rather lopsided by the time it’s over.
