W-13 BP65

#18 Gonzaga 97, #8 Washington 77
Well, I guess it really was a look-ahead game. Gonzaga is clearly still a top team, and if the voters know what they're doing they won't drop the Zags in tomorrow's new poll. As for Washington, they have to be worried about their defense. There are some high-powered offenses in the Pac-10. What are they going to do when they face Arizona? Also, getting outrebounded by Gonzaga isn't too comforting. Meanwhile, Gonzaga still has a couple more good out-of-conference opponents before the WCC schedule starts. They could use a few more wins to buffer a possible loss in conference play.

UNLV 58, #19 Nevada 49
Is this really the first win for the Rebs over a ranked team on the road in since 1991? Wow, it's been a long time. Meanwhile, not a total disaster for Nevada. Fazekas wasn't 100%, and the team clearly had an off day from the floor. This loss does, however, set up a huge matchup on the 30th against Gonzaga. For two teams from mid-major conferences, it's the last chance to get a real good win before Selection Sunday. So will Nevada drop a lot in the new BP65? Not so much. They just can't let this happen too many more times:
