The number of unbeaten teams continues to fall

Some of today's scores are thought-provoking, to say the least.

Today's results:

#2 Texas 75, LSU 66.

#3 South Carolina 78, Rutgers 68. It was the first loss of the season for the Scarlet Knights. A'ja Wilson poured in 33 points for the Gamecocks.

#4 Louisville's 115-51 rout of Murray State set a school scoring record.

#5 UCLA 64, Kansas State 55. Some amazing stats by the usual duo of Monique Billings and Jordin Canada.

Mercedes Russell and Jaime Nared led #12 Tennessee past Oklahoma State, 79-69.

Green Bay upset #24 Arizona State, 61-48. It was the second straight loss for the Sun Devils.

Washington outlasted Creighton, 67-64.

South Dakota State topped North Carolina State, 75-67. It was the Wolfpack's first loss on the year.

Chattanooga handed Northwestern their first loss, 61-44.

Butler also gifted Virginia Tech with their first loss, 79-77.

Louisiana Tech beat Penn State, 71-59. It was the first loss for the Lions.

Syracuse has quietly gone 5-0, after an 84-78 win over Vanderbilt.

Loyola Marymount is also 5-0 after an 84-71 win over Miami, Ohio.

USC dropped Purdue, 58-46, to go 5-0.

All scores.

Tomorrow's schedule is packed again.
