(2) Arizona 67 (22-1, 9-1) Oregon 65 (15-7, 3-7)

The Wildcats went on a 8-0 run from the 3:17 mark to the 48 second mark. Oregon had a lot of chances late in the game to change things. They had a turnover after an offensive rebound, Joseph Young took the definition of an ill-advised shot after TJ McConnell buried a 3 to give Arizona the lead and the Ducks went 1-4 at the foul line while down 4. Nick Johnson scored the last 5 for Arizona at the line and assisted on the McConnell 3. Johnson had 18 on 5 of 16, 0 of 5 from 3 but went 8-11 at the line. Johnson is 0-10 from 3 the last two games. Rondae Hollis-Jefferson had 14-10. Jason Calliste and Joseph Young ()5-13) both had 14 for the Ducks.

Arizona had a couple of injury scares. Aaron Gordon left the game after coming down oddly on his ankle and TJ McConnell appeared to have something wrong with his back as the game ended.

(7) Cincinnati 63 (22-2, 11-0) (22) Connecticut 58 (17-5, 5-4)

The Bearcats won their 15th straight by pulling away from UConn late. UConn went 7 minutes without a field goal, scoring 3 points, while losing a 5 point lead. The Bearcats went 8 of 10 at the line down the stretch on a night were they shot free throws 11-18. The Huskies had some chances to take the lead but Shabazz Napier took some poor shots, 16 points on 5 of 19, and Cincinnati's defense locked up the Huskies when they needed a 3. Sean Kilpatrick put on a show for the ESPN audience with 26 points on 8 of 15, 5-8 from 3, 5-7 at the line, 12 rebounds and 6 assists. Kilpatrick became the third Bearcat to break the 1,900 point barrier, joining Steve Logan and Oscar Robertson in that exclusive club.

(9) Michigan State 82 (20-3, 9-1) Penn State 67 (12-11, 3-7)

The Spartans welcomed Adreian Payne back with a nice win over the Nittany Lions. Payne played 18 minutes, scoring 12 on 5 of 9 shooting, 2-2 at the line. Payne had 3 boards and 2 assists. He was one of 5 Spartans in double figures. Kenny Kaminski had 19 on 7-9, 5-6 from 3. Garry Harris had 14, but on 5 of 16. Denzel Valentine finished with 11-11-6-4 steals. Matt Costello had 10-6-3. For Penn St, Tim Frazier had 22 on 9 of 14. DJ Newbill had 17 on a rocky 5 of 18.

Belmont 99 (18-8, 9-2) Murray St 96 (13-9, 8-2)

How does an Ohio Valley game get mentioned with the top 25 games? When it kicks some ass. The Bruins had a 10 point lead with a minute left. TJ Sapp and Cameron Payne made 3s in a span of 5 seconds. Payne made a layup to cut it to 3 with 22 seconds left. After Belmont's JJ Mann hit 4 free throws to CJ Ford's two, Payne was fouled shooting a 3 with 4 seconds left. He made two but missed the third. Belmont called a timeout for the inbound but TJ Sapp made a steal. His game tying 3 was no good.

As you would expect, some guys went off for big games. Belmont had JJ man with 25 on 6 of 8, 2-3, 11-12 FTs with 9 boards, Blake Jenkins with 25 as well on 10-12 and Craig Bradshaw with 22 on 7-12, 2-3, 6-6, with 6 assists. Cameron Payne had a game high 29 for Murray on 9-20, 3-8, 8-9 with 5 assists and 4 boards. Jarvis Williams had 21-13 and TJ Sapp had 20.

PAC 12

Arizona State 86 (17-6, 6-4) Oregon State 82 (13-9, 5-5) – OT

The last couple minutes of this game weren't exactly well played. After Roberto Nelson scored with 2:34 left, no one did until Jermaine Marshall for Arizona St scored with 28 seconds left. That opened the door for Nelson to make a layup to tie with 20 seconds left. The game turned in OT with Arizona St up 2. Jermaine Marshall made a layup, then Shaquielle McKissic got a steal that led to Jahii Carson hitting a pair of free throws. 6 was too big a hole for the Beavers to climb. Jermaine Marshall had 25 for the Sun Devils, Jahii Carson 23-6-6-3 steals and Jordan Bachynski 17-15-7 blocks. Roberto Nelson of Oregon St had 26 on 8 of 18, 4 of 5, 6 of 7.
