Let’s do a quick rundown of some of the key games that occurred this week.

Monday Night:

• Connecticut 69, Louisville 67. Both of these Big East teams appear to be coming on strong of late. Is either poised for a big run?
• Oklahoma 64, Oklahoma St. 61. OSU is in freefall (5 Ls in a row) after losing the Bedlam game – is Sean Sutton on the hot seat?
• Santa Clara 66, San Francisco 48. How funny would it be if Eddie didn’t get his 800th win at USF (he’s only won once in a month; he needs one more win).

Tuesday Night:

• Wake Forest 70, Miami (FL) 68. Wake with Dino Gaudio is the feel-good story of the season so far.
• George Mason 63, VCU 51. The battle to get likely one spot from the CAA this year is going to be brutal.
• #6 Tennessee 93, Alabama 86. Solid win for a Vols team that almost always loses in Tuscaloosa.

Wednesday Night:

• Maryland 85, Virginia 75. UVa is now officially in freefall mode themselves, having lost six of seven in 2008.
• #21 Pittsburgh 69, Villanova 57. There’s a school of thought that says Villanova is completely and totally overrated.
• Cincinnati 62, West Virginia 39. How’d Huggs take that one? Is there a more schizo team than Cincy?
• #19 Ole Miss 74, #22 Vanderbilt 58. Vandy better get back together or they’re starting to look like an NIT team.
• #1 Memphis 89, Houston 77. The lone unbeaten passes one of its toughest remaining tests easily.
• Arkansas 78, Mississippi St. 58. MSU isn’t quite ready for prime time yet, are they?
• Texas A&M 80, #10 Texas 63. We really didn’t see this whipping coming.

Thursday Night:

• #3 Duke 92, NC State 72. It was the green shirts!!! Duke outscored the Pack by 30 in the second half.
• #13 Wisconsin 62, #11 Indiana 49. If you didn’t have the under (127) on this game, then you know nothing about basketball.
• #16 Stanford 65, Washington 51. Gotta admit, we didn’t see the Cardinal being quite this good.
• California 69, #8 Washington St. 64. This was a must-win for Cal to keep hope alive for the NCAAs.
• #5 UCLA 84, Arizona St. 51. Wow.
• Arizona 80, USC 69. The Wildcats are showing some signs that they’re going to be tough come March.
