Another "upset city" night

Six upsets this evening, and among them, some dashed hopes:

Miami upended #5 Duke, 69-65, and prevented them from having an unbeaten ACC season.

Minnesota upset #7 Penn State, 89-81, preventing them from clinching the Big Ten title.

#24 Florida State squeaked by #9 Maryland, 72-71.

Mississippi State beat #11 Georgia, 50-38. It was their first win over a ranked opponent since 2010.

Missouri took down #14 South Carolina, 65-58.

Michigan State defeated #25 Purdue, 68-61.

Close one:

#20 Nebraska outlasted Wisconsin, 55-53.

SEC clinchers:

#8 Tennessee silenced doubters in beating #13 Texas A&M, 82-72, to clinch the SEC title. But their injury season continues.

Full scoreboard.

Big milestone:

Loyola Marymount topped BYU, 68-55. Lions senior Alex Cowling became the West Coast Conference's all-time scoring leader, notching 2,166 career points.

How does the 11th best team in the nation shoot 18.2% from two and 9.1% from three for an entire game?

Seriously. Those are junior high type numbers.
