What a season so far, and it's only halftime. There don't seem to be too many "nights off" in any conference - especially the Pac-12. There's just constant disruption.
Upset-ville:
Moments ago, #12 Oregon State upended #11 Stanford, 58-50. The Beavers came from behind and made strong runs at the end to snap a 29-game losing streak against the Cardinal that went back 15 years.
#6 Baylor 80, #4 Texas 67. It was the first loss of the season for the Longhorns.
Arkansas 64, #2 Missouri 52.
Washington 69, #25 USC 60.
Oregon 69, Cal 59. Duck forward Jillian Alleyne became the Pac-12 all-time leading rebounder in the process. The old mark belonged to former Cardinal Chiney Ogwumike.
Close to being upsets:
#2 South Carolina escaped #15 Texas A&M with a free throw, 59-58.
#17 UCLA survived Washington State, 75-73.
#23 Louisville edged NC State, 92-90.
Other eyebrow-raising results: (The number of close games today was just incredible)
South Dakota beat South Dakota State at their house for the first time since 1990, 63-58.
Texas Tech slipped by Iowa State in overtime, 69-66.
Michigan hung on to defeat Penn State at their house for the first time since 2001, 91-87.
Minnesota clawed by Indiana, 78-76.
All scores.
I'm so excited!!!
And I can't WAIT for the NCAA Tournament!!!

I mean what the heck Stanford it's like the bottom just fell out...
That's the way the conference is now, though, with so much parity. When I was doing the RPI piece, three coaches said versions of "you can't take any nights off." I had to pick just one of them.
