1/11 recap

It had to happen... Yesterday, we finally got a week that everyone that pays too much attention to the rankings are gonna freak out over. Let's see if they have a right to do so:


Top 25: NC State over (2)Duke 87-75 (Huge win for NC State, but knowing Coach K he'll make sure that his kids don't panic)

Oregon State upsets (7)Arizona 58-56 (Some people didn't have Oregon State winning 10 games this year. The Beavers just got their 11th win by beating the PAC-12's big dog).
(15)Wichita State over Loyola-Illinois 67-53
Other big games: Michigan State over Northwestern 84-77 in OT
UCLA over California 73-54
