UCLA 67, Washington State 59 - The #5 Bruins returned a favor by knocking off the #17 Cougars on their home court. Darren Collison scored all 18 of his points in the second half and Kevin Love had 16 on 6-of-8 shooting from the field. UCLA improves to 21-2 overall, and at 9-1 in the Pac-10 hold on to first place by a game over Stanford.

USC 73, Washington 59 - USC looked strong in the first half, with O.J. Mayo pouring in 20 points and the Trojans going up by double-digits with just a few minutes left in the period. But shortly into the second, the Huskies evened it up. That's when USC erupted for 19 unanswered points. O.J. Mayo was relatively quiet during the run, but punctuated it with a three and finished with 29 overall. At 6-4, USC is now third in the Pac-10 and 15-7 overall.

Ducks 4, Rangers 1 - A solid 32 save performance by Jean-Sebastien Giguere helped propel Anaheim past New York. The Ducks finally showed that they can put the puck in the net, after struggling offensively for the past couple weeks. The game also produced this classic fight photo (right).

Kings 5, Red Wings 3 - Holy upset, octopus man! On the verge of matching a franchise record nine straight wins, Detroit had LA on the ropes with a 3-1 lead in the third. Out of nowhere, the lowly Kings rallied for four goals and stole a win away from the Motor City.
